  • Geoffrey Epstein is a great podiatrist. Protects his patients and even advocates on behalf of them. He also makes sure to recommend only heavily tested and quality medicine for his patients, even when suspect companies approach him offering him incentives for recommending new medicines without much verification and testing yet.

    Geoffrey Epstein is ethical. Geoffrey Epstein didn’t shill himself.




  • This meme comes from The Simpsons. I think the episode is called “MyPods and Broomsticks”, where they parody Apple. The scene specifically is one of the Itchy and Scratchy episodes within the episode. Scratchy is listening to his MyPod and dancing akin to the old commercials when the iPod existed, and Itchy cranks up the volume so Scratchy’s head explodes.







  • I predict a not-so-small minority will get tired of bots, AI bullshit, SEO optimisation, AI-written articles peppered with Amazon affiliate links, predatory algorithms, etc. That minority will find smaller, human spaces to interact and socialise in. The majority, ever the fan of convenience, will continue to adapt to the corporate enclave of the internet.

    The answer is decentralisation. The more fatigued we get with the traditional way we interact with the internet, the more common it will become to return to (or create) new decentralised spaces. Maybe those spaces won’t be as large as the Fediverse. Perhaps we’ll fragment further to niche forums, group chats, etc. If we can’t keep those spaces small and safe from corporate abuse, maybe that not-so-small minority will begin using the internet only as a utility and instead leave the socialisation and interaction entirely for the real world only. It’s far more personal and meaningful that way.
