tired

I'm tired of other social media where people just want to be famous or fill that emotional void that social media usually leave when nothing interesting happens. I want something that feels more casual.

why is social media not fun anymore?

Watching this video from Mina Le about the current state of social media, and I have to say, I've really been feeling a lot of nostalgia for the era of social media from 2010-2019 or so. It seemed like a totally different world. I think it's one of the reasons I found myself attracted to Pi.FYI--it reminded me of this now-halcyon era of the internet when it felt more like a cloud of folks sharing what they loved and kind of blogdumping, before the rise of rage-fueled algorithms and the consolidation of major social media outlets into the hands of 2-3 companies.

Hozier

A 10/10 perfect DEBUT album that is dark, raw, and has it's fair share of hot and sweaty Hozier will open your mind to undead love (Literally), toxic situationships, and escaping the Catholic Church. Self titled is for the lovers*, indie escapists, and existential dreaders out there, and I know you're out there, so why not lose your mind to something with deep lyrics instead of bad vocals? *If you choose to take Cherry Wine as a romantic song, I am not held liable to the bodily harm, biological warfare, or death that is caused by your actions.

absolutely

Yes, physical media for the win! DVDs too, they're cheap now and the quality (Especially on the 4k restorations) are soooooo good, seriously, it's worth it
