Life can be deeply dystopian—brutal, nasty, cold, unfair, and harsh. Even if you’re aware that negativity bias makes you focus more on negative than positive news, looking at the current state of the world can feel overwhelming and make you cynical. You wonder where things started going wrong, and how we ended up in this creek with no paddle.

There is one Facebook page that shares insightful social media posts that show just how dystopian things have gotten. We are featuring some of the most eerily accurate ones with you to make you think about society, your role in it, and what you can do to make things better, even if just on a local level. See you on the other side.

    To be fair: She failed the (full) bar exam just once as of yet. The one she failed the first few attempts was the "baby bar", which is required in California for students who did not attend a law school full time. And she seems to not have given up on becoming a lawyer. Don't get me wrong: I don't really like her, better: care about her very much, but there is enough fake news around, no need to add to it, even if it concerns people like her who probably couldn't care less because of their money. 😐

    I mean it's simple maths. Men are 50% of the USA workforce. 60% (so 30% total) are white. 75% of them (so 22% total) are able bodied. 90% of them (so 20% total) are cishet. DEI policies still don't result in 20% of population being 20% of the hired paid employees, which means we still hire them mostly because they're white cis her able-bodied men, not because of their qualifications.

    The comparison lacks a lot, the "Cinco de Mayo" celebrates the mexican army's victory over the French Empire while 9/11 was a terrorist attack on civilians. Using the memorial day of a victory of a foreign nation over another foreign nation for drinking can be seen as tasteless in the sense of cultural appropiation but is harmless, celebrating a terrorist attack with over 3.000 victims directly and many more as result years later paints you as an outright arsehole that doesn't deserve sympathy. That's like saying celebrating the norwegian "Constitution Day" (Today, 17.05) is the same as having a celebration party for the 7th October. (And as german I say, if you want to have a party on the 3rd October and base it on our "Unification Day" go ahead, cool that it gets recognized)
