not to be all “think of the children” but the fact that companies can openly admit to using methods to intentionally form addictions in children and we’re not killing their ceos in the streets yet is astounding

when I say “kids now don’t know how to disconnect” or “kids don’t know how to be bored anymore” i don’t mean “kids should sit in a white room in a solitary chair eating saltines and never touch technology” i mean “kids are losing the essential ability to imagine and create their own play because they have a constant 24/7 stream of more overstimulating material than they could ever watch at their fingertips, and when this stimulation is removed they literally don’t know what to do with themselves”

when I say “kids are addicted to video games” I don’t mean “ah these darn kids and their dag-blasted Ataris” I mean “video games are being purposefully designed to squeeze as much money/ad engagement out of the individual consumer as possible and mechanisms like lootboxes and season passes are intentionally engineered to create addiction”

i know it’s purely anecdotal but every time i think about that toddler who told his dad “don’t forget to like and subscribe” at bedtime because he thought it was how you said goodbye to people i feel sick

By the way, if you’re worried about this with children, adults or even yourself, a really good and simple game to start encouraging creativity that my husband invented is a simple question and answer game - but, every answer has to be a lie. You’d be amazed at how quickly you can build up to the level of “inventing entire fantasy worlds.”

We need to bring back private rail cars as the cool, sexy, exclusive way to travel, so instead of dumping the carbon budget of a small nation in the global south on private jets, celebrities have to attach their luxury pull an cars to the back of an Amtrak. Then the celebrities will lobby for Amtrak lines to be better

Seriously when did this

Become sexier than this

Like isn’t it nice to watch the scenery, to be able to open a window and have fresh air, to be able to stand up all the way, not have your ears pop?

Very torn between “Queen Elizabeth is a colonizer” and “but I do want her to outlive her stupid son”

Personally I think it would be funnier if he dies incredibly quickly after he gets the crown. Like world record shortest time with the crown quickly

You’re illuminating me. Heart attack the moment the crown touches his balding scalp.

Prince Charles dies on live television during his coronation likes charge reblogs cast

i am making jokes but i am also feeling indescribable rage at the prospect of millions of pounds of taxpayer money being spent on a funeral and a coronation and changing currency while working class people are relying on food banks and can’t heat their homes over winter
