@noelle @monorail OTGW is kind of like a moodboard in show form so i think the amount you get out of it on repeated viewings is kind of dependent on how often you find yourself yearning for that particular mood (Autumnal Appalachian Gothic)

you might yearn for that mood zero often, which is fine

Show thread

i think it's funny that they keep trying to make smart glasses happen because the people who wear glasses ALREADY WEAR GLASSES and the people who don't wear glasses DON’T WANT TO WEAR GLASSES

@aescling “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”: truly the slogan of a movement concerned with equality over equity

@aescling i feel like the ideology notorious for treating people as interchangeable cogs in a larger profit machine isn't communism
