Random

I forgot that kbin also has microblog feature, that allows me Tweet. Haha. Maybe if I'm listening to the music I like, I'll post it here. Usually Radiohead

Personally, my best indicator of a website's/social media's quality is: memes. If it's good, funny, and, most importantly, not forced (like spamming beans for example), then to me it's good enough.

I am missing the only thing I really still used #twitter for - immediate local news about things like traffic, weather, fires, etc from small county newspapers and emergency alert twitter.

I'm not logging into twitter just for that stuff, when it's usually just curiosity driving me looking up information. For real emergencies that are hitting me personally, I know how to get info on that from other sources.

Oh well!

Microblog question. Is there a way to subscribe to people or magazines and not see the rest of them? This is very confusing as it is.

Me: People around me are obsessed with "1984," the novel, where they could be drawing inspiration from other dystopian fiction. write something describing that.

Chatgpt: In a world saturated with dystopian fiction, one novel has managed to capture the collective imagination like no other: "1984" by George Orwell. Its chilling depiction of a totalitarian society governed by Big Brother has become a cultural touchstone, seeping into the fabric of our conversations, art, and even political discourse. However, while "1984" deserves recognition for its profound impact, it is essential to explore the vast landscape of dystopian literature and the diverse narratives that have shaped our understanding of oppressive societies.

Within the realm of dystopian fiction, there exists a rich tapestry of thought-provoking works that delve into different facets of human struggle, governmental control, and societal decay. Authors such as Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, and many others have crafted their own haunting visions of the future, each offering a unique perspective on the perils that await us if we stray too far from the path of freedom.

Huxley's "Brave New World" invites us into a future where conformity and superficial happiness reign supreme, a society in which the pursuit of pleasure has supplanted genuine human connection. Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" warns of a world devoid of literature, where knowledge is suppressed and critical thinking discouraged. Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" presents a patriarchal regime that reduces women to vessels of reproduction, highlighting the dangers of religious extremism and gender inequality.

These works, among countless others, serve as mirrors reflecting the potential consequences of unchecked power, technology, and social structures. They urge us to question the direction in which our society is heading and to consider the values we hold dear. By exploring a range of dystopian literature, we open ourselves to a broader understanding of the multifaceted nature of oppression and totalitarianism.

While "1984" remains an iconic and influential novel, we must resist the temptation to become fixated solely on its themes and imagery. Instead, let us embrace the vast array of dystopian fiction available to us, celebrating the diversity of voices that have contributed to this genre. By doing so, we can gain a more comprehensive perspective on the dangers that lie in wait and perhaps even find inspiration to forge a future that embodies the principles of freedom, justice, and equality.

Looking for a bluesky invite if anyone has it.

I have been using Twitter primarily for interesting technology discussions, and lately realized that lot of people in my following list have shifted platforms. Some have landed on Substack while others Bluesky. Would love to see the lay of the land there.
