I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

I always have two phones going, one I'm playing a world building game on, the other just whatever. Sometimes while watching TV on my tablet. It's very much not healthy but it's the only thing preventing me from weeping because things are bad.

Meanwhile, the media I consume:

  • Inevitable global warming catastrophe
  • War in Ukraine
  • Genocide in Gaza
  • Genocide in Sudan
  • Funny cat videos
  • Unbridled late stage capitalism
  • Nobody can afford to live
  • Billionaires making even more billions
  • Rampant fascism

Ok that's enough for today...

Don't forget the classics:

  • AI voice describing a mildly interesting video and injecting false information
  • Podcast snippet with Minecraft Parkour or GTA racing at the bottom
  • Movie or Series scene with one of those 5 shitty songs placed on top.

Me after feeling attacked by the post and seen by your comment.

I think this describes most of Lemmy, which explains why this place is full of miserable bastards.

There's always been terrible things going on, but now the internet allows us to inundate ourselves with news daily.

Better miserable bastards than fascists

Nah man.

Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram, Imgur, etc.

I think you misspelled "the internet"

Same. Damn.

It's a good thing I'm a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.
