When a famous musical artist I don’t care about / don’t like releases a new album I simply ignore it and don’t listen to it, which apparently makes me unique in this day and age

It's exasperating how youtubers who make their livings "explaining things" act like history doesn't exist if they don't already know about it. Had to turn off a video when the guy said that "terrorism wasn't really a thing in the 80s." My brother, look up plane hijackings, or Ireland, or Lebanon, or

if you announce that you're breaking up with Nicole Kidman because she wanted too much sex you need to do it at a press conference where you're in a full body cast. just a little slit in the head area where a pair of wild, haunted eyes are staring out

There is something ineffably sad about watching a man get arrested in front of his dog

Yeah, I didn't say there *wasn't* that kind of stuff before; what I mean is that it wasn't the entirety of the news-media landscape.

I see things like "nostalgic things younger generations don't know about" and it's all we didn't wear seatbelts and drinking from the hose, but would you believe that there was a time when the news wasn't just about screaming at you to make you anxious, depressed, and defeated?

As of yesterday, another human besides myself has read my novel. He survived, and didn't even mention the necrophilia scene in his feedback. Bless.

Podcast ads are awful but I get it, you gotta pay the bills, whatever. Still, every time one of my favorite podcasts starts shilling for “A.I.” anything, I feel this profound sense of betrayal and “fuck you” / “fuck off”

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line.

Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.
