One thing troll groups like to do is take credit for things they didn’t do, especially when the object of their claims would like to blame someone else and there’s a non zero chance this is the case here.

“Yes, that’s totally what happened, darnit, Iran!” said Bluesky admins, not looking up from their phones.

Pro-Iran hacking group also takes credit for obliterating porn from Tumblr and reducing MySpace to some weird echo of Pitchfork. “Look out Friendster, you’re next!” said the message.

It is amusing because this would totally appear in the show as a satire of creating action figures of things which not only failed at the time but even as they gained cult popularity it still doesn’t justify its existence. A moment of the show leaking into reality.

So having been to the Northwoods just as mosquito season began - it is beautiful but yikes.

There is most definitely a vengeful ghost that crawls out of it, but even as it takes your soul you will be thinking “the original version from Japan was better executed even if the effects were more low budget”

Distracted by the Virginia crybullies using what appears to be a still from a Caitlin Reilly video who most certainly would be mocking them if she knew they existed. Which one is it?

A. Can you summarize what this is about

B. Why are they abusing what appears to be a Caitlin Reilly screencap from a skit that is probably mocking people like them

Only rideshare apps have a “good” reason & it’s that thoughtless use of rideshare apps when they weren’t the only option destroyed & reduced the others & now surge pricing may cancel your plans where a taxi or better transit would not have

And every service wants to do the same option elimination.

My hottest take is every single reason for using Instacart and other labor abusing and punishing services is candy ass bullshit. This includes myself.

Say this as someone who lived in the before times but managed to be very low effort & get quality couch time despite having to get my own stuff.

“This one slogan bothers me because it has an unsettling implication.”

“How dare you enable an abuser.”

Whether or not the two things are actually correlated, it is incredibly funny that Bluesky started experiencing near daily tech fuck ups right after the team started bragging about using vibe coding

Once again - it is not that hard to join Dreamwidth.

Using Claude, I have written a program that breaks any computer

The most beautiful photo you’ve never seen.

Finally, an anti-photo site. Suck it instagram.

The kicker is what makes this great.

There's been an attack on labor even within the context of elaborate evil conspiracies that manipulate world events.

Good Ol' Shoe - Working [from Wag the Dog] YouTube video by Lew Quzmic Baltiysky

Rewatched Wag The Dog & at one time a story of manufacturing consent with fake bullshit meant imagining an entire team & material actions like creating a fake folk song then sneaking a 78 into the Library of Congress & now the reality is Some Guy Posted Something.

So it's this, but just one random guy instead of a team doing thins like faking an old folk song on a 78 and planting it in the library of congress.

This is good, right

Like it’s good we have AI so the insane old socialite who runs the world’s most powerful nation without interference can enter negotiations based on a computer hallucination with people on whom he declared an unprovoked war

Let’s get some Ws in the chat for bourgeois democracy

I mean, if you had placed a prediction market bet: "the future will resemble Futurama + Rick & Morty more than any of the celebrated sci-fi novels and even the most rational events will seem like William Gibson meets Arrested Development" then you have most definitely cashed in.

💯

This captures a moment in history for both labor and how we viewed our online lives. It’s also a key reason why smartphones exploded because our desktop lives were bifurcated.

And with BYOD they want to do the same to our phones.

First, he’s only talking about the war here and maybe about Trump weakening the fascist cause by being too distasteful. Also he grasps what he did and he got what he wanted, but intermittently feigns regret to stay relevant it is a meaningless knowing manipulation cause fascists lie

Tucker did this on the Iraq War. His shtick is getting the death & cruelty he wants then expressing regret with wording that doesn’t really repent it, nor touch his core white nationalism (cause isolationism fits that) & this BS “rational one” routine works on some otherwise smart lefty sorts

The breakup was one woman saying to another “if you are just stepping out with no agenda, why are you wearing the same pants you had on the first time you went home with me”

And they were those kind of pants Yes Pants.

Yes Pants YouTube video by The Marginal Prophets - Topic

Lived near a Chicago lesbian bar that, if not the best ever, the best with a parking lot & saw a breakup in that parking lot which led me to coin the term Yes Pants in a poem which got picked up & used for a tune by a folk funk side project of a cartoonist

But you can say “Democrats and Republicans are capitalists and make political decisions based on a class solidarity they share as members of the bourgeois elite” and this is absolutely self-evident and visible constantly but people still act like it’s in “the moon landing was fake” territory

Why do they all look like they are going AAAAYYY WHOAAAAA I’M MONSTERING HERE
