I paid sixty dollars for No Man's Sky nine years ago and they refuse to stop making the video game. I've begged them to go home to their families but they won't stop adding new kinds of weird little guys and like, optimizing the gentle patter of rain on an alien ocean. Please let me pay for a DLC

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc.
It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

"Journalism...is built on the economics of attention"
Facts are boring. Conspiracy theories are exhilarating. Besides, fact checks are happening in spaces where the lie consumers aren't. No Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, NY Post, WSJ oped consumer is reading Politifact or Kessler. JFK is alive, after all.

More views from yesterday's snow in #Pittsburgh, this time some snowglobes of the Strip District. I wish that I would have been capturing this area more almost 20 years ago when I started photography, but I guess that I can make up for lost time now.

When Americans talk about healthcare, they pretty much only actually think in terms of the health insurance industry. The actual healthcare is harder to think about than the whole financialized process of paying for it, applying for it, etc.

I had two slices of CostCo pizza for dinner and they knocked me into a three-hour nap that felt like ten years of cryostatis. I did not merely sleep, I rejuvenated. Every cell in my body has recreated itself around a core of the greasiest pizza known to humanity
