personal worldbuilding stuff, microfiction
The aquatic, mollusk-like people of 🔴🔵🔴 were always an enigma to outsiders, ourselves included. Their communication was visual in nature, but early translation efforts proved useless. Virtually no grammar, seemingly nearly every word was unique.
Until we met in person. A language of experiences, shared across quadrillions. And they were glad to no longer be alone in their own infinitely deep thoughts.
Joy truly knows no boundaries, as it turns out.

nlpol, fascism (-)
hoo boy lads, saw a campaign ad from the local far-right party after not having seen one in like a decade and sweet jesus
how on the nose can you possibly fucking be and -still- not have people call it out as obvious fascist propaganda? it was literally nothing but scare tactics, appealing to some vague historical "greatness" and fascist slogans accompanied by imposing imagery to the point where even motherfucking goebbels himself would've told you to tone it down a little
in any ordinary timeline this would've led to an immediate collapse in popularity and ahahahaha just kidding they're the second biggest party in the fucking country. 🙃🙃🙃
MIDI 2, politics-adjacent
honestly, under capitalism -any- upgrade in standards, no matter which field it's in and no matter how necessary, is going to shut out smaller developers by very nature of the fact that all this stuff needs to be purchased, and our society has essentially made money our lifeblood.
there's definitely a thing to be said for keeping things as easy to work with as possible, but at the same time refining existing shit -by its very nature- means it's going to get less easy to understand and there's really nothing you can do about that beyond trying to find the right balance between perfect results and comprehensibility by the human mind
