Honestly surprised these guys didn’t go with Gil Sans - Gill also abused his dog so even Noem would’ve been happy.
Turns out sans serif is woke. At least they didn't switch to White House gilded script.

Saw the one star review on this so didn’t bother to watch.

I’ve had to endure a lifetime of hysterical pearl-clutching over songs / lyrics / films / gaming & books all about to poison our fragile minds - then the algorithms arrived and society didn’t just bend over, it offered them lube.

Very sad for Robert Redford’s family and friends, but scrolling through all the posts with old photos of one of the hottest men to ever grace the screen is a real consolation for the rest of us.

I love the confusion of seasonal cross overs days like this in London with half the people in t-shirts and half in big puffer jackets. Like 2 sets of extras form completely different films all mixing together.

I love the Voyagers - but fuck off ending this article “(they) will continue to whizz through the darkness for eons, carrying what may end up being the final vestiges of human culture”. Speaks to the manufactured hopelessness this system requires of its population. Fight for your future kids.

Last month, NASA briefly lost Voyager 1 in the expanse of interstellar space, and when the craft reappeared it was communicating with a transmitter it hasn't used in more than 40 years.
