Well, it's certainly better than Instagram... Who knows, maybe Cara could federate with ActivityPub in the future... Not that I'll keep my hopes up for that.

Rojo is Spanish for red. Bermellón is Spanish for vermilion.

Yes, but probably only about as much as every other garbage social media trashsite like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

I liked the dog, having wanted a pet as a kid, I could sort of simulate that on the computer.

The Senate Democrats also reintroduced the bill on its own, and let the Republicans vote against it. This was absolutely a political move on their part, letting the GOP tear itself apart arguing about whether they should've voted for or against it. They're taking advantage of the existing tensions and divisions within the party to weaken them.

Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are "a little bit off" in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don't like it when something doesn't easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.

Obviously, I can't say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it's probably a better explanation than... Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.

Still, it's a cool premise for a horror story at least.

Thanks 👍

With a little reverse-image-searching, it also looks like it's from 2018. I like this graphic, I'd love to see a more recent version of this. For instance, I think Disney aquired FOX in 2019, and this chart still shows it being owned by 20th Century Fox.

Do you have a source for this? I've seen charts like these, but they never have a date on them, so I can't tell if they're still accurate, or out of date.
