#macross

@HailsandAles@metalhead.club Yep, curation is key. Find your interests. And it sometimes means you have to search a bit and then you find a cluster of accounts that all boost each other and comment on each other. On that note, I had a friend ask me about #kpop fandoms on the fedi the other day and so I humbly ask for recommendations to follow so I can pass them on. Second side note: I recommend #Monsterdon and #HashtagGames for shenanigans. Third side!note: are we still doing follow fridays? Maybe we can get something like that going, especially if it’s interest-centric. Do it on a Saturday on an Any-day, let’s go. Like, follow this account for indie rock or 80’s mecha anime. (I need to continue #Macross. It’s literally free on YouTube or it was)

We went back to #Macross after a while away from it and geez I'd totally forgotten the...incel-ish view of the future that's reflected in the Zentradi. Watching a couple episodes left me thinking about how if you squint hard enough, it's possible to glimpse another sort of equilibrium for life in the Cosmos, a dismal grim destructive one to be sure but it seems to be roughly what the #tech sector wants, if they want anything certain beyond just pure longevity. Which isn't even really a goal exactly, more like Homer Simpson praying to God "keep everything exactly the way it is and if you give me no sign I'll be happy thx bye." Why not build on a MUCH bigger scale? Here on Earth you can give a reason: build too large and the structure won't be able to support its own mass under ordinary gravitational acceleration. So...what if you just took away the gravity? That's how the techbros think, if you call it thinking. They're like people choosing which load-bearing beam in a building might be least likely to take the whole building down if you remove it and sell it off. (cont'd)
