Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 22h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

More power to her, I just want to know how anyone can look at anyone in this town with a straight face and still say establishing your brand matters when the creator and showrunner of New Girl’s new show is a hard edged serial killer mystery for Hulu.
