Why the hell are we normalising “ray ban” spy glasses? It’s fucking creepy.
I don’t care if they’re from a brand name, I don’t want you to be secretly recording me for whatever purpose.

Someone in the cafe was wearing them the other day and now I see them all over social media.

This game contains instances of subject matter

A screen shot of the Steam page of a game that reads "This game contains instances of alcohol consumption, black magic, sexual references, violence, mature language and subject matter."

Also crazy driving... Since covid people drive like maniacs. Every single week I see a dublin bus go through a red light. Saw it happen twice today.

The entire economy is designed at this exact scale.

Assume their argument to FG was: don't worry lads, it will go straight back to the landlords. Literally.

I witnessed lefty art school grads become frothing at mouth anti-woke warriors that spout out Bill Maher takes. Covid was a compounding event, but I think social media feeds have broken our brains. It just has different outcomes in different people depending on background and material circumstances.

Might I have connected to a rogue basestation that tinkered with my vookies and derailed by ad profiles?

Ever since I was in East Asia with an e-sim a few weeks ago, my YouTube feed is constantly interrupted with these types of indian/South Asian accounts posting images of of their family and children. When you click in, they have a self-help career advice cult vibe on their videos. What is this shit?

Taylor Swift fans are fucking mental. I just heard some of her new album and it's the most flavourless drivel I've heard in quite some time. It sounds like demo tapes for a 90s Home and Away actor's attempt to move her career out of summer bay, but imdb says she is still a cast member in 2025. 👎👎👎👎👎

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
