calsbot @calsbot.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I’m such a sucker for a New Yorker investigation like was the best seller romantasy novel a copyright infringement, did the student falsify their trauma for Ivy League admissions, how are the white liberal parents making racist allegations against their kids PoC guidance councillors 070

calsbot @calsbot.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Realizing Bluesky has always felt so boring because the algorithms aren’t giving me dopamine hits. It feels like I’m a drug addict trying to replace my supply with vitamins surprised it doesn’t feel the same. Bluesky is literally social media rehab. 0160
calsbot @calsbot.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Does anyone know how this actually works? No Evil Algorithm™️ driving our dopamine addictions (?) so we’ll like actually see posts from the people we follow (?) making it kind of like a pervy group chat where you can talk to your friends but maybe also someone you don’t know reposts it (?) 2110

!["Sorry, I could barely get through Kissick’s orgy of grievances. I lived through the years he elegizes, saw some great art and even more middling art. Anyone reading his piece with a gimlet eye will notice that it was speculation, not ‘politics,’ that sucked the air out of the room. I do agree with him on one point: the art world is boring right now. But you’re not going to save it by being boring yourself. And you’re definitely not going to get art that ‘tears open [your] consciousness’ through nostalgia for Hans Ulrich Obrist. Go outside, look around. Stop being sad because markets and institutions aren’t pandering to you. Go where the energy is. Go make some real friends. Break a magazine. Go to a protest. Free Palestine.
