I thought the Albania prime minister was an AI hologram?

Still, this is fucking bullshit. Do people live on the island? Any cultural heritage sites? It's bullshit either way, but that would make it so much worse.

How symbolic.

It's fucked up that they're going to destroy the preserved ecosystem, but not that surprising honestly. I'm so burnt out and disillusioned that nothing really surprises me anymore...

That burnout feeling. I don't know how anybody DOESN'T feel that way. Honestly sometimes I wish I was stupid and could just dive into tiktok and pretend that everything is fine.
