"Smart" technology

I understand the tendency, because I occasionally succumbed to it circa 2016–20, but the genre of "you're criticizing a sitting Democrat, you must love fascism" is totally useless and needs to go away

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"
