    Why the fuck is this asshole being invited for the ND Cathedral reopening for? No doubt when they mentioned ND he immediately thought of Knute Rockne. 

    Blessed Mary, Mother of God- please let him show up in South Bend instead of Paris for this event.

    ‘What many of us feel’: why ‘enshittification’ is Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year

    Quote

    We’re all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit,” author Cory Doctorow wrote earlier this year.

    In 2023, Doctorow coined the word “enshittification”, which has just been crowned Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year. The dictionary defined the word as follows.

    “The gradual deterioration of a service or product brought about by a reduction in the quality of service provided, especially of an online platform, and as a consequence of profit-seeking.”

    Social media users, if they don’t know the word, will viscerally understand the concept, the way trolls and extremists and bullshitters and the criminally vacuous have overtaken the platforms.

    between daylight savings time and flash power outages and unplugging things in and out, none of the appliances in my kitchen ever show the same time and it is intensely annoying

    I like having different time zones in my own house... Of course, I've set all of them at a minimum of 5 minutes faster than the actual time, but the rest of my family are never ready to leave on time
