Many will assume that Sora represents a new era of social media, but that's wrong. All it does is reanimate our current one. It's trying to hold on to something people have a diminishing use for. "We're certainly beyond the hashtag, clout- chasing, and desire-for-virality era of social media," Fraser says. Across social media, people have expressed that Sora is yet another example of techies manufacturing supply when there isn't even a demand. "What problem are we solving here? They're like, 'You can try the new app. You can make a moose have a spa day! I don't need to make a moose have a spa day," comedy writer Matt Buechele said on Instagram. "Like, cancer still exists." The uptick in artificial social networks, Fraser tells me, is being driven by the same tech egoists who have eroded public trust and inflamed social isolation through "divisive" algorithms. "[Theyl are now profiting on that isolation by creating spaces where folks can surround themselves with sycophantic bots."

Thought I heard music playing over my own music, so I paused mine, only to discover that it was the birds chirping outside my window. Now I’m having an existential moment about the nature of art and humanity.

Well I for one find it comforting that at least our nation’s best and brightest are in charge of handling the situation.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

I think it all started when I found out that not only are there maniacs who double space after periods, but that these people will try to make you feel like a Neanderthal for not doing that.

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

CNN: A new poll gives us a sense of who Democrats and Democratic leaning voters think best aligns with the party's core values. And that's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
