The increasing clarity that “big cloud” is one of the most existentially dangerous threats in the long term. The idea of not truly owning my own data, particularly in an era where truth itself is becoming more and more malleable, became intolerable.
Secondarily, the desire to get off the subscription hamster wheel and own all my own media.
Early crush for me. I went straight from Tiffani Amber-Thiessen to Shirley Manson but if you’ve heard Queer you know why.
I don’t really have much to add but feel compelled to say that I really enjoy this type of comedy. Maybe there is already a name for it but I think of it as observational absurdism, or Incorrect Shower Thoughts.
I rarely laugh out loud at it, but it makes me smile extra big to consider it.
I love the idea of someone making a remark based on an absurdly incorrect observation or premise, and as a bonus, this type of comedy rarely has a “target”: it isn’t punch down or up. It’s punching itself if anything.
Anyway, just saying.
I love my city so fucking much.
