The leftoid protest against the surveillance state is a little surprising, but I don't expect it to last long past the planned handover of the White House to blue team. Then questioning government power and expansionism will be bad again and we need Flock cameras and Palantir AI to protect us from the scary white supremacist militias.

As someone old enough to be politically active (derogatory) during the last GOP administration that is exactly what is going to happen

All this energy behind not trusting anything any government agency says or does, all the scrutiny over corporate-government alliances, it's going to disappear instantly and you're going to see all your fired-up, fight-the-power friends immediately shift into full boot-throater mode

feel like the people using their full government names (or something appropriately resembling a full government name) as their instagram bios and maintaining an online presence of mostly innocuous images and the occasional half-literate sentence may be more correct than anyone writing paragraphs under a pseudonym. stylometric mass deanonymization is maybe three years out, the frontier age is over. something i appreciated about 1984 is that the proles get to be free – they live shitty little animalistic lives of no consequence in a zoo maintained for them, sure, but within the zoo it doesn't matter what they get up to. the highest law isn't any of the stuff about the party, that's for people who are already in violation. the highest law is that that you shouldn't do anything that might matter to anyone. and if you draw the venn diagram of output that works as a social strategy and things that don't matter to anyone, isn't the intersection precisely instagram beach pictures?

Don't think I'll even watch the RLM video on The Odyssey, that movie has been thoroughly politicized to the point that I'm not sure an honest take on it exists. That and I'm just generally uninterested in a Hollywood big blockbuster take on a historical epic.

But at this point praising the movie is a requirement for the left (and anyone who doesn't want to be labeled a fascisthitler by the left) and it's required to hate it on the right...either that or view it as some deeply subversive masterpiece, an angle I didn't see coming I must say

But either way it was decided a while back the movie isn't a movie, it's a referendum on our glorious multicultural future and whether or not you support that. You could review it on its merits as a film, but that's hardly the point anymore.

This is similar to the experience surrounding feminist masterpieces like the Ghostbusters reboot, except those were practice runs as no one really cares about women: see also the mass importation of Islam for details there.

Either way, as movies they're utterly forgettable. Which is one reason the controversy is generated. I'm sure its possible to talk about these movies as movies, but it hardly seems like the point.

#also I'm still not over how much they liked the fucking Backrooms movie

#I am not immune to advertising

Well shit it's Sunday again, the most depressing day of the week

speaking of the past, it's increasingly hard to see myself as someone who even exists in the present, let alone the future. The last decade or so has seen some setbacks that have whittled down the entirety of my independence and self-image to the point where it feels like I'm not even a person anymore.

I've never been bursting with self-esteem but now I feel old, ugly and gross on a level where I'm ashamed to be seen anymore, and that's new. But mostly it's that feeling of everything already being over. At some point I stopped being more than a background character in my own story.

It's just weird finding out how much I must have liked myself in the past, despite never seeming to feel that way, because now I feel like I truly know what self-loathing is. Ah well, I guess I have time to figure it out.

it's v sad seeing the internet hollowing out, and realizing it's doomed. at least i got to see what it was when it was still alive, you know? but what do you do after that? there was a past in living memory that was better than anything that can exist in the present

RIP Gunny “Lardass” Bonerjamz

It is with great regret that we announce the passing of Bonerjamz mascot and exemplary fatass Gunny, following a long struggle with a chronic illness. We will always remember Gunny’s zest for life, which was matched only by his girth.

Gunny is survived by Sarge, the other cat adopted from the shelter at the same time about 13 years ago. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to Doordash, to pay tribute to Gunny’s bottomless hunger (for life) and unmatched laziness.
