@Richard_Littler the cultural touchstone that seems to have finally died is classic TV reruns. boomers and GenX were raised on episodes of old sitcoms because there was often nothing else on. ubiquitous, cheap, reliable video sludge from a tap on everybody's wall. no longer, for good (because they were crap) and for bad (because everybody knew them, and it was something you could use to relate to other people outside your social circle).
@socketwench love Six String Samurai. got the soundtrack somewhere.
i also just watched "Await Further Instructions" this weekend while doped up on cold meds. i like how it segued analog horror with deep memories of the "Protect And Survive" PSA's. i think they kind of ran out of ideas in the last act, though.
CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersOn November 25, at the urging of a far-right troll, Elon Musk banned the @CrimethInc Twitter account.
Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with “free speech”—it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence.

Mystery BabylonFor any trans people who need to hear this:
Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.
Whether you choose to transition or not (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.
When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.
Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.
Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨

remeber that today is the 14th anniversary of the Great Macy's Day Parade Rickroll, which is the point in human history where the internet jumped the shark and started to completely overwrite what we used to think of as "real life."
we are left to sift through cultural detritus as the digital world dissolves our reality and forcefully substitutes itself, forming walls around and between us.
if you've been paying attention, you're aware of all this.
you know the rules, and so do i.
traditions are important.
