#generational problems

“Yoda is blind to his flaws and the Jedi orders flaws and he needs a wake up call—”

Actually Yoda is the reliable narrator of all time, and lowkey I think a lot of the dislike of him is based in the same ideology that says, “don’t even worry about it gen-z and gen alpha are gonna fix everything save the world,” because so many people that dislike Yoda are also like, “yeah anakin and Ahsoka had everything perfect.” Which, don’t get me wrong I love both of them, but they are very much learning (Ahsoka) and or failing (Anakin) most of the time.

Yoda (and the rest of the council) do not fit into the current generational dynamic in the US (idk if other countries even bother splitting up generations this way, let alone in the same groupings, especially because no country got to have the same post-WWII experience as the US), and neither do any of the other Jedi.

Stop projecting your problems with boomers onto the Jedi Council; *waves hand mysteriously*: those are not the old people in leadership positions you are looking for

You know you're actually looking for? Tarkin, Orn'free Ta, Palpatine, and the ENTIRE SENATE. They are seriously right there.

“Slopsquatting” in a nutshell:

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal, that’s how you get math packages and stuff but

2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but

3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So

4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

"Kids these days-" are exactly the same as us when we were kids. "They're so cringy." Are we going to pretend Tumblr 2014 never existed? Every generation was "cringe." The only things that change are the types of media we consume, the books and shows and toys and tech - but "kids" have not changed, they are not any worse than you were. So, adults - grow up - and let the next generation grow up too. Next time you want to criticize tiktoks, remember all the wolf pack roleplays you had on your Animal Jam account.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

one of the many things i viscerally hate about br*t*sh small c conservative culture is the way people take weird pride in enduring things they don’t have to endure. nobody actually wants to change anything for the better. this is why new build houses are falling apart at the seams from day 1 and old houses are all uninsulated and structurally held up by black mould. deeply ineffectual and cringe country.

My dad was griping that I never go on Facebook and don’t see his cool pictures. Largely twigs. I told him the reasons I don’t like Facebook and he grumbled.

Then I told him why I like tumblr better. He asked if he posted stuff here if I’d see it. I said yes but. I made him promise not to look at my blog. He got excited and said he wouldn’t and he better not, but anyway.

Now I’m giving him tips on like basic shit. “Don’t make your full name your username,” which was surprisingly challenging. He was like But that’s my brand and I was like if you look like a brand here they’ll just block you. Then it was “Hey might be a good idea to turn off metadata on your photos.”

I’m having this bizarre switcheroo moment of trying to explain internet safety to my parent.

since i've seen people being unaware or uncaring about the catastrophic toll generative ai has on both the environment and the workers behind it here's some information about what that toll is actually like. i'd encourage everyone to read the full articles, but i've highlighted some important parts for convenience
