Mr PoopyButthole

I always felt like Flowers For Algernon was such a compelling book and the only movie i know of is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. You would think it was a comedy based on that movie.

Still trying to catch back up on Adventure Time

Also God watching all genocide

Under capitalism, yes.

Under socialism? Men would all be spending their new free time learning woodworking and making gigantic overengineered furniture out of oak and mahogany.

Damn, I didn’t even realize I’m doing anti-vax research as i type this

I don’t see this as a problem, the media is terrible at understanding/caring about real cultural trends.

The fact that I have a better time on Lemmy than Reddit on my phone, despite the huge difference in user numbers, says it all to me.

Reddit has been seeing a meaningful and lasting decline since they decided users don’t matter, and there’s no coming back from that.

Just like Facebook has suffered a permanent user loss and failure to grow, so will Reddit. It won’t be overnight, but newer generations are increasingly tech-literate, even when they aren’t more media-literate.

I never thought Mastodon would become a place to be, despite always hoping. Never imagined a real Reddit alternative would start to form, but here I am.

Cambridge Analytica laid the foundation of general disdain for centralized social media, and Elon Musk single-handedly exhausted the public’s patience with corporate bullshit.

I think decentralized options are here to stay, and I think the only centralized platforms that will take longer to upend are video-dependant ones.

All in good time.

Why did I read this in Scottish accent?

As a graphic designer, I knew at a glance that nobody was paid to make that stupid “x”.

If a client as big as Twitter asked me for an X logo I’d be so fucking depressed. It would be such a pain to make a proper logo like that without looking exactly like a dozen other ones, because it’s hack and has been done to death.

The X everything app is literally some high school composition notebook doodle shit Elon has been clinging to for over 20 years. He’s like the dad from the movie Holes that thinks he’s a great inventor, but just keeps catching the house on fire and stinking up the place.
