putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

ive said this for a few years now but football is the modern gladiator games. its a blood sport sold as the 'ticket outta here' for way too fucking many poor disenfranchised boys. if you can survive getting to the top, you can make the owners disgustingly rich get untold fame and riches.
and when their bodies break down and their CTE causes increased aggression (outside the approved violence of the game) theyre thrown aside as some sort of pariah or martyr and left with their riches quickly dwindling to the rest of their lifes medical costs.
its a blood sport, and unlike most of the other really brutal sports (im thinking rugby and like roller derby level contact sports) its one that makes the owners and advertisers richer than most of us could imagine combined

hey guys isnt it weird that right after preventing adblockers youtube changed the button things on ads from "skip ad" to just "skip" and from "video will play after ad" to "video plays soon". guys.

Listen guys I get that the new watcher news sucks and is awful, I hate it too, but I think some people are overreacting, just a little bit. The pivot to streaming is absolute bullshit and, objectively, a bad move but you don't need to scorn everything they've ever made just because they made a stupid decision. Ryan, Shane, and Steven are human beings trying to grow their company and they've made a bad bussiness desicion. They are not devils and everything they've ever made is not suddenly bad, they're just idiots, and sometimes, it's okay to just be an idiot.

Wanna know what was going through the hbo guys heads with station eleven when they were like we have a banging long form art house adaptation of a very popular literary novel it’s the most timely motherfucking plot of all time it’s about pandemic trauma it Speaks to our age it has a globally renowned incredibly famous Actor in a key role it’s our Emmy bait. Let’s seal it in a lead canister and bury it thirty feet underground so no one EVER finds it
