I appreciate posts like these, but I feel like people really need to stop saying stuff like “The year 20__ has been SUCH a hellscape!”, and similar statements. I really think these statements have largely contributed to the wide-scale nihilism and pessimistic view that we’ve had for the last ~8 years. People need to eventually realize that there NEVER has been a year where nothing substantially bad has happened, and there never will be. Mindset is almost everything, and for as long as you only focus on the bad, every year will seem terrible. I still really appreciate these wholesome posts where they highlight the good, but the first sentence still contributes to the problem.
2026 thus far has been a bit of a hellscape (to be fair so is every year) so i thought id give you all some hope in humanity with a list of good things:
the movie industry finally locked in especially with the introduction of new IP by youtubers of all people (markiplier/kanepixels)
mojang has locked tf in in a turn of events that may even bring a new minecraft wave (p2p!!!)
microtonal math rock (AdP ftw) broke free from containment and has reached a mass audience which will hopefully give us a musical revolution to stir the music pot

minimalism is getting out of fashion which may lead to a new and awesome design era
