If you didn’t recognize a single scene then congratulations you’ve been living under a rock.
"Year in Search 2023".
From Google. For "TV Shows", I didn't recognize any of them in the top 5. Expand to the top 10, and... I still don't recognize any of them.
What can we conclude from this? I'm out of it.
For "People", only 1 of the top 5, 2 of top 10. For actors, I didn't recognize any out of the top 5. 1 out of the top 10. For video games, I recognized 1 out of the top 5, 2 out of the top 10. For "Athletes", none of top 10. Even for "Musicians", only 1 of the top 5, 2 out of the top 10.
It's so funny, I work so hard to try to figure out what's going on, yet I'm totally out of it.

"Tech companies are irrational pop cultures." "The symptoms of pop culture:
"A 'disdain for history'. Pop cultures believe history doesn't have anything to teach them.
"Newer is automatically better. Pop cultures are built on the assumption that anything new or different is superior to established. Or, in other words, older is inherently inferior.
"What's next is going to be superior to what's now. Pop cultures exist in perpetual anticipation of the next trend. Their disbelief of history appears to outsiders as a belief in progress.
"The 'Pop' in 'Pop Culture' stands for 'popularity'. If it's popular then it must be right."

The private military company (PMC) Wagner has once again made international headlines with the arrival of around 1,000 of its employees on battlefields in #Ukraine. For its supposed owner Evgeny #Prigozhin, this is a return to a familiar environment: his companies began their disinformation activities in Ukraine during the #Maidan #revolution. However, the #PMC is no longer limited to making war or business: it is also involved in a broader strategy of branding #Russia in the eyes of foreign, as well as domestic public opinion. This new activity is not so surprising if we recall that Prigozhin himself specializes in Russia’s image abroad and can therefore offer #Wagner many of his contacts in the worlds of public relations and #showbusiness.
While Russian soft power has been probably irreparably destroyed in the West by the invasion of Ukraine, Wagner's recent film productions, all dated 2019-2021, have not necessarily been rendered outdated by the #war in Ukraine. On the contrary, they continue to speak to European circles that admire #survivalism, mercenaries, and non-Asian martial arts, as well as to the #GlobalSouth. They illustrate how the codes of #popculture have been adopted to enhance and justify the #Putin regime’s political objectives and, in particular, to heroize mercenary activity, the “subliminal” message being that Russian heroes fight for the good of all humanity and will inevitably be victorious.

When will the genre of Australian desert and nuclear wasteland films receive a pandemic update? Or do we even need one?
This specimen for one has aged well: Boy and his dog.

Hey everyone! I’m #newhere. Excited to leave behind traditional media giants for the fediverse. I’m interested in #anarchism, the #gay-agenda, anything #lgbt, #mentalhealth, #popculture, and #solarpunk, among other things. I wish I spent more of my time outside, and I love #hiking in the mountains.
Hopefully in the near future we'll see some major chances in our social landscape that will allow us to feel less isolated and alone. A decentralized, federated network of peer-to-peer communication seems a wonderful step in that direction!
Musician Eddie Van Halen has died. He was 65.
The iconic guitarist and founder of his eponymous rock band lost his battle with throat cancer. Van Halen’s son Wolfgang shared a touching memorial to his father on Tuesday, confirming the heartbreaking news.
“I can’t believe I’m having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning. He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift,” said Wolfgang, 29, who was the band’s bassist since 2006.
“My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop.” ...
Eddie's made his final Jump.
