The figure tag doesn't get enough love. I use it to display images of cult leaders on my other website. I've, uh, also written a bit about the tag itself and why I like it. https://fabled.day/codes/figured

The section focused on websites as a general medium, organization, etc, now has an index and a few new pages, mostly little snippets. Expect some long and boring essays on that page soon, though, with my thoughts on how websites convey our message to our visitors in various ways... https://fabled.day/medium/

Corecore now? Oldkiz-newblockz led me to learning about this via Tumblr. Seems like Kids These Days seem to want to speedrun Baudrillard's stages of simulation? And it worked? Kind of? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corecore

I was taught War on Terror propaganda in elementary school. Constant "they hate us because was have freedom" and a lot of toxic patriotism + paranoia. Pretty awful shit IMO.
