it was pretty fine actually!

why is this a sentence

did anyone watch jon stewart talking about gender in 2022

(i guess shifted two decades since Geo is mostly focusing on the 80s here)

in the 90s and 00s teachers were extremely explicit that under absolutely no circumstances were you allowed to moonwalk at a school dance

morning of america is a great song and it covers exactly my feelings regarding this subject only shifted by a decade https://bluescholars.bandcamp.com/track/morning-of-america

the Occupy movement feels vintage and that was 2011 lol

the fancoders discord was feeling weird about the 2000s being labelled vintage yesterday and i really wanted to respond like

in the 2000s the Daily Show with Jon Stewart had a recurring bit with an Elmo puppet regarding the indefinite detention without trial of military prisoners at Guantanamo Bay [still not closed btw]

if every word of that sentence doesn't feel hella vintage to you, i want to live in the world you’re living in

remember when we used to wage wars in the name of democracy? oh what’s that we still do?

“Labour Party was right and you should have just voted for them” says British PM Liz Truss

« Voters overwhelmingly believe American democracy is under threat, but seem remarkably apathetic about that danger, with few calling it the nation’s most pressing problem, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll. »

new york times today:
- fed wants to raise interest rates again to curb spending, because inflation
- retailers really want people to spend money this holiday season, because inflation

this is probably still far too many and i would be better off if i just stuck to like, six or eight, but:

1) oftentimes the mons i like the most take a while to get to, so it’s good to have others until you get to that point

2) there are over a thousand pokémon so if i only used six i would simply not be able to use a great many of them

3) i would have a very hard time deciding on six without using a bunch of them and seeing which i like the vibes of the best

these days when i play pokémon i have to keep a running note of all the pokémon i will use and what movesets i’m planning for them because i’ve decided to limit myself to 30 per save

did illumination take all their cues not from the original super mario bros but from ubisoft mario rabbids

nintendo is advertising me the mario rabbids game and it looks like the movie

it would be more accurate to say language determines aesthetics

“language determines cognition”

what they think it means:
- if you don't have a word for green you don't know what colour grass is

what it actually means:
- if your language is SVO you will prefer pictures which place the agent of the action first, the instrument of the action in the middle, and the target of the action at the end
- “first”, “middle”, and “end” are determined by the writing direction of your written language if you have one
- if you don't have a word for green you can just say “the colour of grass”

anyway this is why fascists hate art

and humans being humans decided they would rather live a life with really sick guitar riffs in it
