Remember 20+ years ago and everything was about 'imagining the future' and how amazing things might be? And now we all universally recognise it's terrible, everything is terrible, people are awful, there's no hope, the future is dead and there's no point to anything. Anyway have a great whatever the shit day it is today! Let's get out there and show the world who's boss! Huzzah! X

@TheBreadmonkey My only hope is we get WW3 out of the way, then it's all Star Trek.

@sdarlington @TheBreadmonkey in the past the future was both better and worse. so it averaged out to what we have now. and today is the past tomorrow.
There’s an old cyberpunk story about this called The Breadmonkey Continuum
@TheBreadmonkey Isn’t that a kind of sausage?
