“kids these days don’t loiter or act rebellious enough any more” kids just existing in public are more criminalized and surveilled than ever. almost every western country is running a panic about youth crime and how random teens standing awkwardly are a threat to civilization, and pushing for much more punitive laws. tons of states and powerful lobbies are pushing “parental right laws” that restrict the civil rights of minors even more. policing is first and foremost targeting youths, especially from low income and majority immigrant neighbourhoods. if a kid mildly steps out of line or says something awkward online or in a public space half a dozen people can whip up their phone and start mass harassment campaigns. and tech companies are now restricting access to the internet, the last way many teens can talk to each other freely and reach out to people outside family and school.

anyhow i think people really need to start giving kids at least a tiny bit more grace instead of making smug posts about how uncool they are compared to your youth days, you fucking twats

Seriously, NextDoor is 50% ring camera footage of clearly just normal, unsuspicious people walking around and paranoid fox news-brainrotted Boomers acting like they’re in danger for their lives. Someone made a post about a 10 year old “stealing” a rock from her lawn. A rock of which there were hundreds. I used to collect rocks as a kid, now kids do something so innocent and normal and are watched on Big Brother cameras and labeled a criminal among the community. There’s countless videos of adults putting their hands on and harassing teenagers for literally just skateboarding or hanging out outside. I shouldn’t even have to mention the risk is 100x for Black and Hispanic kids, especially right now.

you’ve all seen Listers, right? the self-published youtube documentary? about writing down the birds that you look at?

it’s subtitled “A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching,” an inaccurately voyeuristic title, because the glimpse is at Themselves.

two unemployed brothers (one an unemployed videographer, one nonspecifically unemployed who has a ferocious new interest in birds) decide: firstly, they are now birders. secondly, to start their birding adventure in a maximalist way by doing A For-Real Big Year.

what’s a Big Year? they don’t know, they just heard of it now. oh, what’s that? they’re going and seeing the greatest number of birds from Jan 1 to Dec 31 in the lower 48 by way of their shitass van. they also have about my own exact knowledge of birds, which is: there are bald eagles, great blue herons, crows, and a lot of small brown birds which are all called “sparrows.”

a youtube comment correctly remarks that it’s like watching oldschool skating videos, where you got maybe 480p of the finally-stomped kickflip down the stairwell, but the joy isn’t in that, it’s of the camera following the guy as he jumps into the bushes with three cheering friends. they are uniquely new to birding AND uniquely good at cinematography.

the documentary works because These Guys Love Birds. they love birds so much. they are signing up to rare-bird-sighting email lists. they are taking hour-long detours to find a kind of grackle that they later learn lives in every single gas station dumpster they’ve passed. they’re interviewing just about everyone they come across, from award-winning birders to a guy walking down a freeway. they have an instinct for jon bois style stupid-but-emotional bits—they are calling every defunct bird hotline in old birding guides to see if any of them can give them a tip about a local bird; or to see if any of them are still connected at all. they are making fun of quails.

this all works WELL. it is beautiful wildlife cinematography cut with handheld camcorder-quality ski bum video. it is what documentary is for.

If you’re a serious birder, especially one active in the Facebook communities, there will be a lot of “oh I know that person” moments

The reason why Doom “runs on everything” (aside from being an obsessively well-optimized game) is because in the late 90’s ID software publicly released the game’s source code, which allows people to, among other things, port it to whatever device they want.

This is but a glimpse of what a world where anyone can do whatever they want with art would look like. Every game could be Doom in a post-copyright world.

Also, as someone pointed out in the tags: If you’ve played any shooters made in the last 20-something years at all chances are that without knowing you’ve played several games whose engine is ultimately descended from id software’s source code releases of the various iterations of the Quake engine
