    With all the crazy ass things that can kill us off, I don’t think we’re alone in the universe, but we may very well be alone in time.

    The Fermi Paradox might just the the likelyhood to get wiped out from motions to everything and we’re too far away to get contact in this gnat’s ass of a conscious timeline we’re in.






  • If I obviously orientate my phone towards you or your kids, you’ll be totally cool?

    You don’t need to obviously do that, a reasonably wide lens and you “reading social media” would do the same. It happens all the fucking time.

    Now assume that a smartpervert glass wearer is doing just that but you don’t know about it.

    Assume every time someone has their phone in front of them their camera is on and has at least a 45 degree viewing angle.

    I’m saying it’s exactly the same on a phone, don’t delude yourself that it isn’t happening or that it’d be totally obvious






  • Journalism is already dead, we’re just hearing the echoes of it’s past.

    Noone has to write the articles anymore

    Noone can tell the real from the fake

    There are no rules or integrity around the process

    Points of view are now owned.

    Algorithms will decide what is true and what is false.

    The only journalism that exists anymore fits squarely into the 1984 hole.

    The Internet Archive needs to be decentralized and taken deep offline with only tunnels back.

    And let’s be honest, fewer of us survived than nowadays.

    Yeah, not everyone got rocketed out the front window from lying up on the rear deck of our parents’ oldsmobile. Not all of us had life altering injuries from jumping bikes off shitty ramps with no protection. Not every one of us ended up in a pedo neighbors basement, But some of us did. Our parents’ apathy to parenting and our own poor judgment skills weren’t lessons to make us better or badges of honor. We survived despite of all that rather than because of it.

    What I’d actually like to know is how it was chosen. At that distance, we can’t see anything from position and luminosity, and even the luminosity is rough to bake out of other bias. We’re better at telling that there’s a moon. Is this an artists rendition? It is a reasonable calculation due to age and plate tectonics?

    I don’t hate it, but if it’s just art for the sake of art, why not go earth-like?
