The Dark Ages Cometh (back)

#Trump and his #arrogant, #ignorant coterie are doing their very best to destroy the things that do make America great - #education, #art, #libraries and #science. It is so feckin #depressing and I can only wish good speed to those who are doing their best to stem the tide and repel the infidels. I really never thought I would ever be making common ground with Universities such as #Yale.

That's enough MUFC for me this year. Watching United loose a game against a Newcastle side that can't even string three passes together is enough for me. If a ref wants to let a team push players in the back constantly, it's not football anymore. Embarrassed for all the players and officials involved in the match. Such a poor standard of everything and not entertaining at all #MUFC #DEPRESSING

By this time last year, l had raised 5 issues with the #GRO. This year, it's 7. An increase of 40%

These days... I don't see much by way of a #music #community on #Bluesky.

If anything, it's just an onslaught of people telling me how great they are, avoiding conversations that would paint them in a bad light and promoting poorly evidenced 'chat-pods'.
#depressing

Ich meide populäre SoMe-Plattformen, fühle mich psychisch negativ beeinflusst davon. Kein Anschluss oder soziale Interaktion, viel mehr Einsamkeit.
Dann kamen die late-capitalist Tech-Bro-Neofaschisten und ich dachte: Endlich die Abkehr von Meta, Twitter usw. Jetzt fühl ich mich aber nur noch mehr wie ein einsamer Contrarian. Gerade ein Freund schulterzuckend gemeint, er geht zurück auf Whatsapp.
Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht?

Now it's official. The biggest looser of the #CDU will become chancelor of Germany. Biggest looser of his party you ask? Yes. He tried to win against Angela Merkel, and lost. He then tried to win against Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and lost (and she wasn't at all popular and a name you probably forgott if you've even heard of her). And he tried to win against Armin Laschet, and lost (and he wasn't at all popular as well and a name you probably forgott if you've ever heard of him).

But, as the German saying goes: "grease floats on top". And finally, he managed. Germany will loose four valuable years of progress, once more; but hey, at least the rich will get richer again.

And we can only hope that he keeps his promise to not work with the #noafd - let's see what happens, once the hard exploratory talks with the parties and their followers that he - just a day ago - was still insulting - will conclude. It's them - and only them - that he can work with in a coalition, if he doesn't want to break his promise...

I deleted my #facebook for a lot of reasons.

It kinda bored me, and I realized that I only paid attention to, and cared about the stuff people I was in the life of posted.

I could just see them.

Then also went through a #depressing and difficult time with #addiction where #shame and #fear just made me want to hide, and be alone.

Also had a stalker for a bit.

Said I would never make one again.

I am considering it to spread the stuff I'm making more.

Eh... Tomorrow problem.

#socialmedia

ok after all that fun #memes back to more #depressing as usual #politics: #numbers don't lie this #republican is (apparently) some of the more #intelligent (but still reads the NUMBERS WRONG #wtf X-D) obliterates #trump #elonmusk #doge spending cuts with #charts and yes thanks to #trump 1st term the #US #debt grew massive

scary fact: the only time a #tax of 90% (!!!) was put on the #veryrich #superrich #oligarchs was during #wartime read the #book by #WalterScheidel #inequality #greatleveler https://annas-archive.org/search?q=The-Great-Leveler https://annas-archive.org/md5/3a2adcfe26bc0da6ba8ccefc65e9405c

[P] It's so perverse. Erudition isn't glossolalia!

Me: Oh, those are words I'm unfamiliar with! They must be important in their field. I wonder what they mean? I'll look them up! I want to learn!
Hiverarchy: Ugg. Man speak in tongues! Must be STOOPID. Me listen to genius smurtyman who words me know and make me feel smurt!

I'm not that bright, I'm really not! Hiverarchy, stop setting such an obscenely low bar! This hurts me. I'm so upset by this.

#psychology #science #humans #evil #depressing

[P] I always wondered if hiverarchy worshipped unmitigated stupidity, but the reality is far more perverse. It's a direct inversion between idiocy and erudition. So the researcher is a knuckle-dragging moron while Trump is a rising star, shining bright, whose sparkling, scintillating mind will save us all.

I want to crawl into a hole and curl up. Hopefully that's monosyllabic enough for hiverarchy to perceive as unmatched brilliance.

#psychology #science #humans #evil #depressing

[P] Internet, hiverarchy believes Trump to be a genius (who'll solve all their problems) because he excels at being a monosyllabic gorilla.

...

I'm really upset about this. I hate revelations.

#psychology #science #humans #evil #depressing

[P] Words are interconnected lattices of meaning! And that's really fun! See, there's insurmountabke. "Sir is surmounting the mountain!" Fun. It's also too erudite for hiverarchy, apparently. One can't be aught but pretty bloody glum when our future is one where hiverarchy attributes genius to monosyllabic... speakers...

Oh.

Oh no.

Trump, Musk, Bezos et al are geniuses to hiverarchy because...

This is upsetting.

#psychology #science #humans #evil #depressing

[P] I sometimes like to tell myself that I might be exaggerating hiverarchy's nature—as a pathology, as a disease—to soothe myself. It's a coping mechanism. I'm not allowed to have those though as it's never long before I'm slapped around the face with evidenxe. Everything is a cycle and it ends where it began. I mean, how long until hiverarchy can only communicate in stentorian, guttural grunts? (I like words! Weh. I am not allowed placation.)

Fiction feels great because when villains' plans are exposed, people dislike the villain. This is a large contrast to the real world.
