Cast Out

I wish there were a setting for the whole damn internet to never show me or recommend me an audiobook or podcast. I don’t want either of those things ever and wish they’d just disappear from my view altogether, but leaving them where others could still enjoy them.

I need both of those things completely edited out of my reality.

Fly or Die

Oh fuck no:

I’m kicking the co-pilot out the plane without a damn parachute. The tech future I’d imagined as a kid was pretty great, and eminently possible; the actual future is dreadful and anti-human. The glorious solarpunk visions were actively quashed, while the “unrealistic” dismal thanatopsistic future of unrelenting surveillance and control ended up being the actual reality — the reality we made and that all too many people are perfectly content with.

It didn’t have to be this way. But it is.
