“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
-- Carl Sagan, "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" (1995)

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: Some days you get up and you already know that things aren’t going to go well. They’re the type of days when you should just give in, put your pajamas back on, make some hot chocolate, and read comic books in bed with the covers up until the world looks more encouraging.
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1995-01-16)More info about this quote: wist.info/watterson-bill/79673…

the #Ecco #games normally have an ominous, #foreboding, and very slow atmosphere and #soundtrack, but I REALLY love the level in The #Tides of #Time where the mystery is revealed and you finally understand how dire the situation for the future is, and the #soundtrack kicks into high gear for basically the first time in the #game series:

Dear reader, it was the case that indeed this was unusual, and thick ice conditions the years following would indeed keep their relief ships from getting to them. 😓

Swallow the hurt.
The gray, #foreboding
skies won't always last.
The doom u envision
is only a temporary lapse
of errant synapses
replaying every
misfortune you've
ever faced.Faith, unlike death-the final arbitrer-can be sharpened & shaped. Life's mysteries, luck/happenstance is byond us,
but remember that a smile
will carry u further than a frown.#art #watercolor #mixedmedia #digitalart #vss365 #vss365prompt#writersofmastodon #writer #poetry #prose #shortpoem #FediArt #MastoArt

So whenever my Mini decides to break the tube I need a new olive… luckily the last time this happened I got a bunch of them! Makes this a quick repair, hope it doesn’t happened again now with this filament. I think I’ll stick it in the oven for six hours. (#Foreboding)

Someone posted this terrifying screenshot... makes me thankful my family is PC/Android.
Apple users, please make sure you look over your EULAs carefully before agreeing, and watch your backs!
At least until January.
