Why does 2017 feel so modern, like 2027?

I'm rereading books and watching tv from 2017 and for some reason you could easily mistake that for a day in the life of 2026-2027. None of it mentions politics, so you're left with Virtual Reality and Iphones that are almost mirror images of today's. Call me a pessimist, but one could be forgiven in thinking we had ChatGPT in 2017.

Remembering Kaos Barraclough, 2015 to 2026. Leaves a Legacy forever.

In Loving memory of Kaos Barraclough, a compassionate and talented puppy with us for 11 years 2015 until 2026. Gone out of the blue and without reason, totally healthy and blessed with an understanding, patient and undying love in his house.

Some may remember his iconic harbour seal bark in the Mill Creek Ravine, where his ashes are scattered. He chased squirrels and waded into the water there for many years.

My baby Kaos unexpectedly passed away, my life is broken.

Kaos unexpectedly passed away last night after 11 years of barks, walks, and loyalty. I live in a broken home now and don't see any point in living.

Psychological Thriller scene I'm workshopping [Composition]

I'm trying out editing a psychological thriller type scene and took this photo in the countryside during a storm. I am wondering what kind of storyline it would embody?

Season 5 is the BEST season

Looking through the fifth season of Friends and its just a powder keg of peak Friends. Bolstered by the fact Joey/Chandler are still living together, Rachel/Monica live together, the season is just altogether perfect storm of awesomeness.

Danny the yeti moves in, Ross has a mental breakdown over his 2nd divorce, Chandler's work laugh, Joey's bag, the ride along, Ross flirts with pizza delivery girl, Rachel starts at Ralph Lauren, smokes and kisses Zelner. Culminates in Vegas.

Unparalleled excellence!
