Resisting attention/energy harvesting, appreciating old souvenir shops, and an attempt at a suspension bridge metaphor - all that and more in my latest post.

If you read books it’s just like so blindingly clear every last bit of TacoTits’ dog and pony show is reheated copycat slop served to people that don’t read books. Been working through some of my fave media-related nonfics on the Tok. #medialiteracy

I should add the most interesting part - the township was surprised that a couple hundred people showed up. They didn’t anticipate so much public interest in a mystery company building a seven story building on a 1,000 acre compound right in the middle of farm land.

They are trying to build one near me. There was a township meeting for zoning and they kept the company secret. Everyone was like huh whaaaa? It was unanimous against against rezoning the ag land but it still has to go through two more boards. Seems to be trend in ignoring citizens so we’ll see.

On coarse language as an authoritarian technique. From Pomerantsev’s “This is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality”. #booksky #propaganda #medialiteracy

Whoops - posted before alt text: pic is of a glamorous white and black cow cat stretched out over the base of an open doorway. She’s lounging in her indecision.

She’s taking the whole “are you coming in or going out” cat thing to its fullest expression. Happy #caturday

The headline was changed on this probably so GenZ doesn't get the idea they're making sh*t happen. The new headline when you click on the link reads "Madagascar police fire tear gas as president fails to placate protesters"
