I wonder how that town in Ohio is doing after that massive chemical spill from that train derailment earlier this year
Well that Palestine is definitely doing better than the other.
Wonder how the democracy protests in China are doing…🤔
Wonder how d-day’s going…
Perpetual horrors. It might be a sign of the times, or just the internet, or both even, but there is a notable increase in constant terrible news. Climate change and death and hunger and epidemic and wars and billionaires and fascism and so forth, it desensitizes people.
Years ago people were deeply disturbed by violence, now I can watch a random russian conscript shoot himself in the mouth after a drone strike destroyed his legs every other day and it’s probably not the worst thing I’ve read or seen on that day even.
Everything seems fucked, it’s hard not to become somewhat apathetic towards it.
It’s probably a mix, but I’d wager it’s primarily a side effect of the existence of the internet. Before you’d hear the bad things in your immediate community, the really bad things from your country/region/whatever, and really only the truly horrible stuff from the world as a whole. Now you can have a constant feed of every bad thing that happens everywhere. As you see more of it, you’re bound to get desensitized.
But hey on the otherhand I have unlimited videos of cute puppies and I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t a pretty big upside.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I really don’t know if unlimited puppy videos were worth it in the end. Damn now I’m sad.
* two weeks later
** unless another huge and horrible news story comes out within said two weeks
how many wars are going on again?
Yes.
me, waiting to deploy my spy balloons: soon
Lemme know when you deploy them so I can claim one of my kids is stuck on it.
literally 1984
the whole Taylor swift worshipping (from people and media) really irks me because I thought it was not so long ago that everybody was talking about her private jet use and carbon dumping, but apparently it was a long time ago and nobody cares anymore
Not to mention only ever focuing on one story at a time.
Sure, totally just forgot about the “next plague” everyone was talking about
Yeah wonder what happened to monkeypox.
More like 10 seconds later
Agreed, but it’s not really like you’re any different, is it?
Welcome to the wonderful world of propaganda
