It's been a really rough year to pursue creative work, but I just found out my short film is a finalist for a production grant and I am going to ride this positivity wave into the new year.

They want to bring about the collapse, A. because it's a solution to climate change that doesn't involve them sacrificing their position or consumption, and B. they are literally insane and want to be gods through their own technology.

I've been seeing the decline starting in 2024 from multiple sources, but I don't really feel like compiling everything. redfin and zillow probably have the most accurate numbers on housing right now since everything in this country is privatized. I guess we will know more as time passes.

If the data was from 2020-2022, maybe, but both have been in sharp decline (over 50% since 2024).

The speed at which the elites are taking everything from us makes me think they know something we don't. Is it a meteor? Is it rapidly approaching climate catastrophe? Whatever it is, the plan is to amass as much wealth as possible while leaving us to die.

This map doesn't make sense at all, rates of migration to Texas and Florida are in sharp decline.

The recalled sandwiches were from May and they didn't release the recall til mid June! Probably don't eat a sandwich made May 20th on June 18th whether it was recalled or not.

I think for many people it's the group think: no one else around them is masking so therefore there is no problem. Turns out most people would jump off a bridge if their friends were doing it.

Symptoms of this new variant include coughing up bloody phlegm and a sore throat that feels like your swallowing razor blades. Yup totally mild, nothing to see here folks.

Most sports don't need to be gender divided in the first place and only are because cis men can't handle it when they lose to women.

Yeah this new one seems really bad, like a return to 2020 bad. It's burning through Asia right now. My parents got the cold that's circulating a few weeks ago and had similar symptoms to what your partner has now.

Dr. Dev @sicksadfilms.bsky.social · 29/05/2025
Yeah that sounds like a cold and not covid.

Dr. Dev @sicksadfilms.bsky.social · 29/05/2025
The new covid's main symptom is a terrible sore throat, so if he doesn't have that it's probably not covid, which is good news.

Dr. Dev @sicksadfilms.bsky.social · 29/05/2025
Hoping you are able to avoid getting sick! I know the new covid strain is in California, but it doesn't seem to be super pervasive yet. There's also a bad cold circulating, hoping he has the later and you stay healthy!

Make your own if you are a nerd. Wearing these is paying google to spy on everyone/thing you look at. They don't need access to any more of our information. Being a pro police state narc is the antithesis of cool.

There is finally a release date for Philip Pullman's third volume in the Book of Dust series. And I have been desperately awaiting this for years. The world better not end before October, because I need to read this.

I'm happy to pass the torch on to gen z, my only small piece of advice to them would be to stop worrying about everything being cringe and just enjoy themselves, life's too short to live with such an internal panopticon.
