It's frickin Y2K all over again, but real this time.
Tell someone their duolingo streak is unimportant or they wasted their lives playing dark souls and they get mad. They get mad because they sacrificed something for these things, despite being utterly unimportant in day to day life. Yet they give meaning to people. Small pseudoreligions like football teams are similar in the fact that it gives meaning to people too, it might even make people fight each other for them thanks to ideological conflicts. Political opinions also reenter here, so some of these "religions" are natural, others not

Читать полностью…⚾️ 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 After a decade of declining viewership, MLB turns to Hololive VTubers.
🔶️ Viewership had declined by 15 percent across the league between 2014-2023. Now the Dodgers have partnered with Gawr Gura, the most popular VTuber in the world. Her YouTube channel has 4.5 million subscribers. That is more followers than the Dodgers have on YouTube and Instagram, combined.
🔶️ Just the announcement of Friday’s promotion, featuring Gura and two of her fellow avatars, generated 3.4 million views on X. Of the viewers of Gura’s YouTube Channel, half are 24 or younger, and nine in 10 are male. Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is 25. The Hololive avatars have appeared in promotions for Japan’s Pacific League, in which Yamamoto played from 2017-2023. He was showed a picture of Gura and asked if he recognized her. He said he did not.
🔶️ “Ten years ago, the whole concept of streaming was pretty strange. It was not really existing. Now we accept that as a normal means of communication and entertainment. We want the same for VTubing as well.” said Max Kim, the U.S. sales and licensing director for Cover, the Japanese company that controls 85 such avatars, including Gura, that combine for more than 82 million worldwide subscribers on YouTube.
🔶️ Yankees and Dodgers lead MLB's ratings charge on FOX and ESPN. Fox on June 8 averaged a season-high 2.91 million viewers with the second game of the Yanks-Dodgers set, an 11-3 blowout which still managed to notch the highest turnout for a regular-season MLB broadcast since September 2022. Through its first 11 broadcasts, Fox’s MLB coverage is averaging 1.93 million viewers per game, good for a 7% lift compared to the year-ago period.
🔶️ “We have our interest: to expand in the U.S. market,” Kim said. “They have their interests. I’m pretty sure the Dodgers will have their own thoughts behind this collaboration.”

🌐📉❗️ — Cybersecurity platform Crowdstrike is down worlwide, causing problems worldwide!
It´s astounding how close our time is to the conditions that led to the rise of Julius Caesar in Rome
- Rome was being fleeced by a greedy elite (called the Optimates) who were monopolising land with usury and slave labour
- These elites were migrating huge volumes of slaves to work the fields for low wages (sound familiar?)
- This drove down the price of labour and ended up pushing native Romans out of work and off their land
- The elites would buy up these vacant family farms and move more slaves onto them
- These same elites would then give out loans to these broke Romans to help them "set up a new life in the city", which would put them into debt slavery
- The city of Rome itself swole up with a huge disgruntled class of poor veterans, native Romans, and recently migrated slaves (sound familiar?)
- These formed a jaded underclass while the elites lived in slave supported luxury
- Roman soldiers would go abroad and risk their lives conquering territory for Rome in hope of "making it", only to get underpaid, and then come back to find their families replaced by slaves from the place they just conquered (sound familiar?)
- Caesar was one of the elites who sided with the native Romans - known as a Populist
- He used "the People" as a force to pushback against the elites and drive through reforms that limited debt slavery
- Through decades of ruthless civil war he came out the winner, but was infamously assassinated by the elites for subverting their grip on Rome

✝️ 🇻🇦 🇪🇸 The Vatican has forbidden the Traditional Latin Mass Pilgrimage to have Mass at Covadonga Cathedral.
🐣 The decision is believed to stem from jealousy among older Modernist clerics after images of huge crowds of young people at this pilgrimage and at Chartres.
🏰 Oviedo was the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, the first post-Islamic invasion Christian kingdom in the Iberian peninsula. Covadonga is, of course, site of the first skirmish of the Reconquista and a famed Marian shrine.

Is there a time or place when it is unfair to 'love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself'? Therefore, crimes against nature, like those of Sodom, must always and everywhere be condemned and punished. Even if all men committed them, they would all be included in the same condemnation, due to divine law, which did not create men to make such use of themselves.
