you ever get the feeling that like, nothing really exists anymore?

like ever since the mid-2010s, we've just been floating in a catatonic state. a cultural void. things continue to fade and go out of style, per usual, and yet nothing new is there to take their place.

like ever since trump was elected, culture itself was put on pause and never really turned back on. not to imply that he's solely at fault, that's silly. but there was an absolute vibe shift that happened overnight. did you feel it? that feeling that everything that culturally worked before suddenly didn't work anymore?

i think a lot of it has to do with the huge corporate consolidation we've seen the past decade. there's no money in anything anymore. there's no money in art, in journalism, in music, in tv, in animation, in comics, in social media in general. all creative avenues are in the dirt, siphoned off by a select few. anything and everything is in a complete rut.

you ever flip through cable/satellite tv nowadays? it's an absolute desert. dozens of channels just airing a single show for hours on end. all that money was moved into streaming, which worked for a little while, but now it's all fragmented, and again, no money for anything.

entire genres of movies thrown away in favor of chasing the next monotone billion dollar worldwide blockbuster.

the tech world, one that once brought wonder for the new possibilities of the future, now in a rut of hyping predatory, cynical, half-baked ideas that only serve to undermine the fabric of society. all to sponge up some short-term hype money before it all crashes and burns, then it's onto the next big dumb scam.

social media in general feels dead. twitter, once a titan, now a destroyed husk. numerous alternatives sprouted to take its place, none grabbed much a foothold. the site will just slowly rot away, leaving nothing but a massive void in its place. dead internet theory run amok.

where are the new artistic movements and aesthetics? the big new music acts? the shows that everyone talks about? like... memes in general...? remember when people used to joke about a singular thing for longer than a few days?

maybe that's just the death of the monoculture. everything we live, fragmented into dust, smoothed into a gray paste.

or maybe i'm just old and passionless and not paying attention anymore. i never wanted to be a "kids these days" guy, but maybe that's just an inevitability. but you hear distressed stories from teachers about how kids and teens are basically functionally illiterate nowadays, and you wonder... no, this actually is different, right? this isn't just the unstoppable trudge of time casting away old forms of thinking, but there's actually a foundational underlying problem here that's negatively affecting the world at large?

maybe it's me, maybe it's the world. i just feel that all these established cultural pillars we'd come to rely on for years, decades, centuries, have withered away, with nothing new to take their place. a world of rubble and melancholy. you can kick some rocks around and build a sand castle, but nobody's around to notice or care.

this post was about the exploding hammer car thing btw not the ai thing

i heard some new Stupid Bullshit has been happening here lately. i'm not active enough anymore to really understand it, but it sounds pretty funny.

i'm still keeping my plot of dirt here until armageddon tho.

pour one out for all the abandoned blogs from the past 15 years that aren't around to appeal their completely innocuous posts that have been blasted into purgatory thanks to tumblr's dumb ass porn scanner bot

#tumblr

[rabidrodent]

good to know tumblr's porn scanner is just as infallible as it was half a decade ago

too sexy for tumblr: coloring sheets for children, a barely decipherable photo of a cat, the oldest man in the world.
