Anybody else feel like there're just ... too many active plotlines?

It is/isn't the Singularity while we are going and not going into WW III, while Rama is maybe zooming by, while Modern Rome does the whole fall of the Republic nonsense, or maybe doesn't! While the H5N1 thing is still churning away reassorting in pigs!

Narrative superposition is exhausting.



Turn off active screen devices and go for a (very long) walk. News are exhausting only if you allow them to be.


I appreciate what you're trying to say here, but this was more an infovore glorying in how weird everything is than someone who has too much screen time (I don't, in fact, even use a screen.)

But also sometimes monitoring the world is useful. I'm very glad I was paying attention in February 2020, for instance!

I don't understand. How did you write this comment?


Click their username.

Don't forget a bunch of infected rhesus monkeys escaping an overturned truck.


ffs. Seriously?



Not infected. Maybe the story updated after you first read it.

One small thing we can all calm down about. =)


oh my science! it's just like in Ant Man 3 on iMax


Just a heads up that you likely shifted into a parallel universe.. iMax doesn't exist; we have HBO Max

Welcome! I certainly hope this universe is better than your original one
