Ilia Malinin currently getting the Simone Byles treatment, where the media fixates on a young athlete who dominates their sport by way of being able to perform moves no one else physically can, and then heaps pressure on them until they lose a very public competition, and then chases them around with cameras because the failure makes for good television and they have a news cycle to fill. Cool. Cool thing we're doing again.

DJ Cloudy recently shared a striking statement on social media about rave culture and phone usage. Cloudy criticized how people at events focus more on recording videos than actually experiencing the music, saying it damages the atmosphere, especially when “no phone” policies are ignored.

Is anyone else as horrified by the ASPCA commercials as I am? They say that every minute that we wait causes these animals to suffer more, but I'm watching them film these suffering animals for quite a long time. Don't they realize that they are right and every minute that they film the animals they are suffering needlessly. If they showed the animals being rescued immediately, I'd be more likely to donate. I don't think that they understand the magnitude of the suffering or that they are prolonging it. Therefore, I don't think that they will use my money efficiently. Just saying. Stop filming. Rescue the animals. Then film or film the rescue. It's not rocket science. Geez...
