The way my brain works:

1970 was 30 years ago
1980 was 20 years ago
1990 was 10 years ago
1995 was 10 years ago
2000 was 10 years ago
2010 was 10 years ago
2015 was 5 years ago
2017 never happened
2018 was two years ago
2019 was last year
2020 was also last year
2021 was a few months ago

The whole world might suck, but my friend just sent me his leftovers from a couple quilts and one of them is this amazing Japanese canvas that is black and red and white with waves and kitties. The kitties have different faces, one is even wearing sunglasses, and there are also cat butts sprinkled in. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Remember? "Sideloading" is here to stay, and won't go away, they said? Don't be afraid, they said? Something something "we heard you"? Suuuure! Who would ever doubt it!

Attached the copy of a mail developers with apps in the PlayStore CURRENTLY receive. Please, read the text in the red box carefully:

"Apps not registered by September 2026 WILL NO LONGER BE INSTALLABLE ON CERTIFIED ANDROID DEVICES in select countries."

See an exception there? I don't.

The planet may soon be unlivable for humans, and untold millions of people suffer.

But a small group of rich white dudes got some more money, and that's clearly worth it.

This is the promise that capitalism gives.
