@jensorensen "Year Zero", an (un?)intentional NIN nod?
@4d3fect @jensorensen BTW, NIN's "Year Zero" was set in 2022 where religious fundamentalists took over. I remember how one guy was arguing on a NIN discussion forum in 2007 that's implausible. And yet, here we are.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos vividly recall the media blitz running up to the release and tour. Absolutely fantastic show.
@jensorensen so so true. I haven’t stopped screaming! 🙃
@jensorensen
...I hate how on point this is. 😑
(You're doing your job and doing it well. Reality is just garbo right now)

@jensorensen I mean, they did get an overwhelming less than 50% of the vote.

Who can argue with that?

@jensorensen Oh, it's set to get much worse than that. Wait until the new culture police erupt to *enforce* those imposed norms.
@jensorensen Disturbingly... not exaggerated at all. Including presumably the obliviousness of the many people who voted for it.
@jensorensen ...and it'll be delivered by Amazon Prime, I'm sure. 🔥

@Phracker2Art @jensorensen Alas, the price of eggs is going up.
@jensorensen Eh? We heard all this stuff in the UK. Was it somehow kept from Americans? Like, they don't have any internet for example?

@jensorensen
Intentional ignorance is a hell of a drug, and most of my family refuses to look at what's happening, even though their kid is trans and therefore directly targeted. They literally tell me to ignore it and not be afraid because it is out of my control.

I'm so glad I have in-laws who give a shit.

@TimWardCam @jensorensen They didn't develop those personalized feed algorithms for nothing. A special bubble for each person.

News from Fantazstan ::

The greatest Reality TV Show ever conceived.

Un-fuckin-believable .

@jensorensen as an American.. dead on accurate! Embarrassing 🙄

> you say people voted for this? I haven't heard about any of that.

Totally excusable for a country that votes for what's basically sports teams. Instead of, you know, policies, and maybe only then their designated implementors.
