The year is 2043, elderly euthanise rather than await medical treatment. 4000 landlords own 90% of property in the UK, rents are 60% of income, raised 10% per year. Looming population decline threatens demand for ever greedy passive incomes. Banks continue to loan, governments still fuel the Bourgeoisie. Still mysterious the absence of revolution.

### Criticizing #Israel? #Nonprofits Could Lose #Tax-Exempt Status Without Due Process
> That’s because a bill that passed the #House with broad #bipartisan support in #April — after which a companion bill was immediately introduced in the #Senate — would empower the secretary of the #Treasury to #revoke the nonprofit status of any organization deemed “#terrorist supporting.”

Two doors away the Music Lover, whose 2nd floor window aims at us, was listening to trance rap music. It sounded so angry. I don't get it, I suppose it's the era, but I don't like distopian movies and TV either, so I don't get it.
He is be very intentional in what he listens to, he seems to be really listening, occasionally repeating a cut. But I'm not hearing the Sinatra nor disco nor occasional showtunes that he liked a couple years ago.

I can't wait for someone to post a photo of themselves wearing a Vision Pro and MSCHF's Big Red Boots. Real Google Glass Shower Guy Energy #distopian #apple #visionpro
I've seen a lot of Star Trek mashups for Vision Pro but not any Ready Player One mashups. Too on the nose? (Er, on the face?) #apple #visionpro #distopian
The necrobots are here!
Did anyone predict necrobots in any dystopian future novel? Scientists have taken a step into the bizarre and have bold plans to develop necrotech.

Tick tick tick tick to infinity. Love it! They are barely a year old and are creating new things via crowdfunding.
When I was a child, I was sure that a Star Trek (TNG) future was what awaited humanity. Now I believe a combination of Warhammer 40k and handmaid's tale is far more likely.
A few months ago a friend of mine encouraged me to try an #audiobook ... #ReadyPlayerOne , and since then I've been hooked.
I am not a book reader, as I find the practice uncomfortable and am unable to maintain concentratation. With the audio format, I've devoured several books and have especially enjoyed ones with a #distopian or a #scifi twist.
Said friend also has a great taste and feeds me awesome recommendations!

I've been thinking about this a couple of days, but at the beginning of I, Robot, why is #WillSmith excited to receive a pair of "vintage" 2003 #ChuckTaylors in the #distopian 2035? Lack of Robot helpers in sight right now aside, is there any indication that this will be something people are excited about 12 years from now?
The department of Homeland Security has released a domestic terrorism alert to all #LGBTQIA+ people… this is #distopian as fuck.

Arguably, the police are there and engaging in force, so noone can document what they do to you. Including distracting and shooting you.
