Thanks

From the Editorial Desk

As we do each year, Jabber has made a list of things we are thankful for. We don’t always publish these lists, for much of what we are thankful for would not be of interest to the general public or the small cadre of readers we have amassed. This year, we have thanks we feel compelled to share like the narcissists we are.

We thank capitalism for homogenizing culture.

We thank algorithms for homogenizing culture.

We thank Hollywood for homogenizing culture.

We thank helicopter parenting for homogenizing culture.

We thank myths for homogenizing culture.

We thank raves for homogenizing culture.

We thank clubs for homogenizing culture.

Without all of you, Jabber’s followers might be even smaller in number.

Enjoy your lore!
