^ i was thinking abt this yesterday with the florida condo collapse, when i realized that none of the media coverage i've seen included the phrase "the authorities have ruled out terrorism as a likely cause" which was standard boilerplate for so long, even when completely obvious and unnecessary, and i had a vivid feeling of the W years being well & truly over

Has someone already identified flashmobs? I do remember them as a depressing content-free 2000s phenomenon.
Thinking about them now, I think the single most irritating thing was participants' self-satisfaction - as if they were doing something significant

Ha, I was actually talked into participating in one in the very early 00s near Liverpool St maybe where we all had to wear cricket whites for whatever reason. It was insanely boring.
― chap, Thursday, 1 July 2021 13:49 (four years ago)
looking back now its weird to realize that it peaked as a fad so long before the era of widespread smartphones and video-based social media. i remember hating flashmobs, but cant recall how i actually saw them. pictures on flickr? clips on local news?
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 1 July 2021 15:50 (four years ago)
