Finally finished my little list of reasons the 2000s were terribad. Nostalgia can be a great comfort but I'm not losing sight of the actual past, here. https://fabled.day/before/terribad.html

I added summaries for each playlist just now! Of note: have finally added my long playlist of Russian rap and hip hop. Living in Eastern Europe and knowing the situation, I don't support what Russia is doing, but I do enjoy Russian music, and I see no problem with that.

I've created a new button, if anyone has linked to me using the old one and would like to swap it out. It's at the bottom of my main page, as usual. I finally dropped $19.99 + VAT on Aseprite. The learning curve so far has been steep but I hope it's going to be worth it.

I haven't taken the plunge (maybe I'll commit to doing more pixel art one day) but I love Aseprite.

Thanks. I can only take credit for the text effect, really - the base if from Foollovers. I actually didn't have a difficult time animating the letters and moving them INTO Aseprite once I had that in GIF.

Interested in astrology? Many people know the basics of it and looking into charts for an individual, but why not think a little... bigger? I'm starting to look at the "natal" charts of certain corporate and technological entities. Is anyone else curious about the astrology of Unix? Amazon? Twitter? https://fabled.day/future/astrology

I am really, really struggling with finding the locations where some of these corporations were founded, which would make chart generation easier. I use Hellenistic whole sign astrology, in case anyone is curious, but I'm such a newbie.

Oh I was looking forward to this! I recognize everything you described except for the webcam situation, somehow I was never exposed to that. And I agree... it was all terribad.
very good post. while i personally look back really fondly on the social infrastructure of the 2000s, culturally it was clearly horrible and i'm routinely astonished how easily people memory-hole the bush era - it was a time of such extreme cultural stagnation that i still do not think we've even come close to topping
Just found your site and I agree with this post 1000%. I would also add that most of comedy from this period is all about punching down at minorities. I think that alone is like half the reason the 2010s got all progressive with how to talk about people.
