It’s the 90th anniversary today of the publication of a children’s book which Franco denounced because its lead character was a pacifist. Hitler ordered the book burned as “degenerate democratic propaganda”, and various Americans saw it as promoting fascism, anarchism, or... er, communism

News headline: "Cute wild animal mauls person" Comments: "Omg how could this happen? They're so docile!" First of all, it's still wild. And Mary, if I was an animal, I would have also had it up to here with humans and our bullsh*t, wanton destruction of the environment and all.

2026 and I'm having to keep a folder of memes saved in my computer because image browsers have become so utterly enshittified that it's impossible to find them without garbage compression, facebook/pinterest/instagram low res blurriness or crappy versions with massive watermarks. We live in Hell.

Today is a day of inverted expectations: > Direct I didn't expect much from gave me exactly the game I wanted. > Post service that never slacks off, slacked off. > Delivery company who always has issues actually delivered on time. Huh.
