If your business can only be reached and all info about it only be accessed via Facebook or Instagram, know that it isn’t reachable or accessible AT ALL.

The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.

Get a fucking WEBSITE. It can be just a static landing page with the relevant information. But get off the metaverse!

they addressed the whole stupid schtick people do about super “girl” once and for all when they said supergirl isn’t because she’s a girl who is a hero, it’s because she is a hero for girls

it’s about a movie that says to be a girl is to be treated as an object, a commodity, goods, and also says that girlhood is something that is murdered not grown out of, something stolen not softly kissed farewell at a beautiful coming of age, it’s something that can be gone at the age of thirteen while someone’s full grown adult cousin can still be “young”, Supergirl is a film about the grief thats held inside and the anguish at losing that girl, at her being ripped away by the cruelties of reality and the desperate ways we cling to the preservation of others, to protecting those who come next, because it’s a generational story across planets, across histories, across cultures

Unironically I despise cute posts about how people who organize their personal libraries by size/color/vibes are Evil and Monstrous. First of all it’s none of your damn business what someone ELSE does with their personal belongings and second of all what? People are supposed to use Dewey in their own home? Dewey hasn’t even DREAMED of the subject categories I require

Identifying My Own Emotions: this is an intersection of my subject matter expertise (MLIS) and my dislike of the internet cultural code in which it’s OK to express your feelings on utterly trivial personal taste as performative disgust and horror that someone else perhaps does not experience the world the same way as you. Listen to me. Liking pineapple pizza is morally irrelevant

nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live in that space between "things will get better" and "i can't handle this anymore." it's like your emotions are constantly swinging. leaving you both hopeful and defeated in the same day.

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

[calellon]

i'll forever miss how the internet felt before you had to second-guess the authenticity of every single piece of media you came across. silly videos used to be just silly. fun was coincidental. wonder was just wonder. digital art had character and soul. AI has taken the taste out of everything and irreversibly poisoned the creative sphere and the people still pushing it forward are the doom of both joy and the quality of being.

Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

That is the problem.
