You… you shut up. 🥲

“It’s tempting to say we’re stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…

Yes, we are and it’s shit for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.

“but in fact, we’re being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we’ve always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”

Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the fucking claim.

Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.

No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.

The ability to filter comments actively as you mark them off as completed is magnificent.

You mark a comment, it hides itself. Neat and tidy, fantastic.

Why doesn’t Adobe do this, you ask? Who the fuck knows. Especially since you used to be able to in Acrobat.

Why? Were people complaining it was too helpful?

Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.

Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.

Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn’t made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try…

Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.

It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.

Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.

I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?

“You’re awfully loud over there. You haven’t tried to just let the world be all night.”

Just never interact with anyone. Christ, it’s not that hard people! (This comment doesn’t count.)

“…they could hang the full size flag of any recognized nation as long as they want.”

Hmm. So hanging a bunch of flags from random countries altogether like this would be okay:

(There aren’t great colour options in the flag palette and you’d probably have to overlap them too but whatever. You get the idea.)

“We put ChatGPT into this hammer!”

“Why?”

“FIRST!”

Coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

I mean that would make a great t-shirt.

See! This freak gets it!

Bah! Most people have never even seen a horse. I never would have, had we not been dragged to see the pervert horse ballet when it came to town.

Mmm. All cheese and vaguely seafood flavoured mini-samosas.

HONESTLY A GREAT SHOW TO VIBE TO AT 2AM

Jesus…
