I love our digital future! You can't borrow more than one copy of a digital book from a library but this is somehow OK.
there should be some kind of digital death penalty where you're banned from using the computer for life if you're caught selling "phishing for dummies" SaaS

Our culture needs to stop producing bizarre sentences: "Benny Safide is Bowser Jr." That's not true; that can't be real.

There are tons of novelty Halloween songs from the 50s and 60s. Plus you have Duran Duran's Night Boat which has a creepy music video with zombies.
There really aren't that many Halloween songs, are there...Zombie by The Cranberries is often discussed as one that always ends up on playlists despite very much not being about Halloween but you also often get stuff like Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf or any song with Devil in the title

Let's Play Life (Liz Ryerson, 2024).
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
