My novel ran with that idea, starting in Oct 2012, and ending on March 1, 2030, when the world really ends. The closer we get, the more it makes me wonder if that's true - There were memes in 2016 calling it the worst year - and then every year after that. Maybe they were on to something after all.

And then when California says "hey, the refrigerator died, can you help with a couple hundred bucks" the red states act put out and say "I can give you a loan, but you're going to have to make some changes and take some responsibility so this doesn't happen again..."

I don't want to use Facebook or Meta anymore, but right now, as far as I can tell, there's no "long form" social site that allows like minded individuals to converse with everyone on that topic. I love bluesky as a replacement for twitter, I'm excited about flashes, now we need a new Facebook.

Plus, on Twitter and Bluesky, you're limited in terms of message. If you can't say it in 300 characters, your post is jumbled and cut up, like this is. But I guess Society just doesn't have time for "long form" written content anymore, which is sad.

With Twitter and Bluesky, you're essentially shouting into the void. Your friends may see it, but others might not, unless you use the right keywords. If I wanted to make a post about cooking, it's just as visible to just as many eyes as a post about French movies - On FB I can select the audience.

Facebook was similar enough to LJ, except really long posts were discouraged. Still, you could make them if you felt the need. There were also "groups" which encouraged that community aspect. That's something Twitter (and at least for now, Bluesky) never had.

Coming to Bluesky from Facebook, it's so weird to see astronomical photos and not see the comments full of flat earthers and space-is-fakers whining about NASA.

The Dalai Lama said "If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change." Science belongs on BOTH sides of the wall, and when religion accepts science, it'll improve tremendously. We need science literacy across the board, not segregation.
