Remember when Kellyanne Conway said it's a "fact of modern life" that microwaves can surveil us?

The fan on our 10-year-old Advantum microwave has been clanking nonstop for two days. Apparently, it heard we called a repairman because it suddenly shaped up. My husband whispered the news to me.

Ah man not fair, I wanna download kung fu too!

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

On the cyberpunk dystopia scale I'd give the new wave of AI propaganda videos 5 cranial jacks out of 5. The Trump Gaza one was just the beginning youtu.be/xJ2Zg8JqfAk?...

Shut the fuck up, Donny.

I don't know how to describe how it feels to watch this. I just know we'll circle back to this moment if the Trump/Musk feud starts to really boil. Look at that stare-down. I guarantee people will say "He knew from the start, y'know, kids sense stuff like that."

The robots are coming, so must UBI. Good video talking about how in the next 10 years most jobs will be replaced by robots with AI. Self driving vehicles will be the 1st major shift.

Great 1:1 discussion on issues with Democrats, current administration, and what Dems need to do. Big money in poltergeist had been the #1 issue for decades and is going to get so much worse now.

I astral-projected twenty years back, warning my 18yo self of our cyberpunk dystopia. Halfway into explaining how Prez Trump rug-pulled his shitcoin, my younger self yawned and asked if neon thongs and samurai swords were a thing. Sorry, little dude, it's all fascism and no fashion out here in 2025.
