Spambot of the day
Heartless bot from the comments section of an article entitled “More boomers are committing suicide”:
Everyone loves what you guys tend to be up to.
Of course, since bots aren’t people, I guess they’re all heartless.

Is Sulkowicz a bot?
Womyn are going to get a bad name … A Lewinsky is now part of the vernacular … a Sulkowicz next?
G6…
Sulk is giving attention whoring a bad reputation.
Sulk is giving attention whoring a bad reputation.
That as a matter of course. But there is more given the shrills that came out of the woodwork, on clue …
Once the sexbots appear as they will, it’ll be goodbye to all that …
Free at last, free at last!
It’ll be hello to all the fish without a bicycle …
We are amusing ourselves to death:
“People of a television culture need ‘plain language’ both aurally and visually, and will even go so far as to require it in some circumstances by law. The Gettysburg Address would probably have been largely incomprehensible to a 1985 audience.” ~ Neil Postman
“It is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcotized by technological diversions.” ~ Neil Postman
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.” ~ Neil Postman
“For in the end, he was trying to tell us what afflicted the people in ‘Brave New World’ was not that they were laughing instead of thinking, but that they did not know what they were laughing about and why they had stopped thinking.” ~ Neil Postman
“What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility.” ~ Neil Postman
