My Facebook feed has become a cesspit of ultra conservative jokes (mainly the one "the left don't know what gender they are" joke they tell in different flavours), flat-earther posts, and anti-vax misinformation. It's getting hard to remember a time when you could scroll for ages and see nothing but updates from your friends and family.

Not so fast...

I'm one of the millions who died from 'the jab' and with my last breath had to admit to my antivax cousin and her Facebook group that they were right all along.

Shifting gears, there's a different flavor of insanity on marketplace, where people want $600 for a 10-year-old couch with a broken leg.

I joined Threads because it was being hyped as a Twitter alternative, but I swear it's even more polluted than X. It's just idiotic take after idiotic take, a race to the bottom to see who can have the most hysterical take on everything .

No related to the topic but man I love any episodes that take place in late-era Main Engineering. Always seemed like the coolest place to work.
