Although at least they didn't have to deal with two-factor authentication in the sixth century, so toss-up? |
Or when someone adapts a book series into a bunch of movies, but decides they want to squeeze just one more out? Like, Dead Reckoning pt. 1, or Mocking Jay pt. 2. Like, 2023 was the Desolation of Smaug of the 2020's. But that's not to say nothing happened.
Lots happened, but it was just more of the same. The planet had a giant climate change convention and in classic "we not even going to pretend we care about this anymore," an actual oil executive ran it. Speaking of cognitive dissonance, the Republican Party slid further down the path of acknowledging that their frontrunner for the nomination is a fascist who committed actual sedition, but at the same time being ok with it because he's their fascist who committed actual sedition.
"So it's agreed then? No need to do anything at all about fossils fuels." -basically |
And here we are. You know, I miss the 90's. I was a teenager, so I'm sure my fondness for that time is rooted largely in having no responsibilities, but there wasn't this persistent, inescapable dread of the future back then. There probably should have been, as we're living in the future of the 1990's now, but you know what I mean?

Shit, are the 90's my 60's? You know in that way older people can't shut up about the Beatles and how everything was better back when they were teens? And what about kids now? Are they going to sit around camp fires in the burnt out remnants of civilization pining for the days of Twitter (you heard me) and Taylor Swift ticket fiascos?
I mean, yeah, in a best case scenario... |
