Sunday Link Roundup

[wolffyluna]

(content warnings at link) earlgraytay's post on social capital is rather good. It's a good look at how using oppression dynamics as your only lens does not work, and how Subcultures Can Be Weird.

(warnings: torture and bullying of simulations) Tom Scott has started a series(?) of 'YouTube Videos From the Future.' Stealing Our Friend's Brain Backup PRANK (GONE WRONG!!!) 🤯🤯🤯 is hard to watch, but it is also exactly my kind of horror. I am sucker for the banality of evil, and horror where the antagonists are unaware of how terrible they are.

chocolateboxcomm nominations are happening! I am very excited. I am also endlessly fascinated by the tag set, for reasons of 'ooh, I should totally read/play/engage with that media some time,' 'wow, that sure is a lot of dragon age ships' and 'the people who are nominating original works are collectively amazing and I want to steal their brains.

I have been listening to far too many versions of 'The World Revolving.' And also trying to learn it on flute. (even though that is a frankly absurd amount of sharps)

It's been like 3 hours and I'm still fucked up over that youtube video. Like, that's exactly where youtube prank vids would end up in that kind of future and I don't think I'm emotionally equipped to cope with that any more than I'm equipped to cope with the whole "let's sexually assault a stranger and call it a prank" videos that currently exist.
