You’re mad because you’re so deeply invested and wired into something that me yelling that the emperor is naked makes you want to fight.

I think that is because they’re all attached to really hype, addictive, subversive things, and We Computer People think we’re immune to that. To the point of getting aggressive when someone says they’re bad.

Yes, even the collapse of American free speech and democratic government because deep American exceptionalism and trust in stability is 💯💯💯 lifelong brainwashing too.

I’m kinda just over people yelling at me. The more people get super angry about me saying something is fishy as hell, the more south it’s going.

This is anecdotal, but every time I say I have a bad feeling about something

(See: Elon and companies, alleged grassy knoll ear shots, LLMs, cryptocurrency, Gamergate, project 2025)

And I get tech people yelling at me in the comments,

Within two years I’m proven extremely right.

DNC is just trolling us at this point

***Begging *** universities to stop forcing your cybersecurity students beg for strangers’ free time on the internet to do pointless interviews instead of even practical mentorship or projects.

We’re exhausted, understaffed and the market is hell. None of us have time.

Feels different than Iraq. In 2001-03 everyone was in for whatever and it was blasphemy to say the war was unjust or ill advised. Everyone was ready to enlist.

People don’t want to die for Israel and they don’t want their kids to. Even the die hard MAGA aren’t into it. They can’t sell dead troops.

The number of conflicts America has lost in the last half century despite having the most expensive military at the cost of aid for citizens will soon only be surpassed by the number of governments we’ve overthrown only to realize we don’t like it after all, and then overthrow the one we installed.

AI developers who were willing to cause a hiring crisis and make workers and customers more miserable suddenly shocked their money is coming from unscrupulous military leaders who want just to use it for concentration camps and dubious military strikes.

I see a lot of “vibes” about it, but has a real nonpartisan data scientist analyzed by key swing states what the SAVE act may do to the midterms? Taking into account passports per capita, voter registration, married women voters, disposable income to get a passport, and postal delays?

They’re not just talking about rape, they’re taking about kids. They’re not just talking about kids, they’re implying destroying bodies. They’re not just talking about destroying bodies, they’re talking about killing babies. They’re not just taking about killing babies, they’re talking about how they taste. And repeatedly implicated people still have their jobs, right now. Holy shit, people.

Currently, the outrage to the visible contents of the Epstein files is so mild that I have to think the majority of people just aren’t even casually checking them. I can’t think of a phrase to describe what I’ve read even as a forensic analyst. “Cartoonishly evil” is too gentle. Horrific. Inhuman.

404 Media bought a superbowl ad, and it’s the charming, feel-good story you need today https://www.404media.co/watch-404-medias-super-bowl-ad/

If the nice Vietnamese lady at the salon can fix my acrylic nail without evidence of a break in 10 minutes, I think a spy agency can defeat your sparkle nail polish. Not a reason to not do it, but TMYK.

Presented without drama context 🙄🙃

It’s nigh psychopathic how famous dude writers develop these complex, deep, and nuanced female characters with backstories and emotions - then go on to molest, harass, and abuse real life women. Looking at Gaiman, Asimov, Whedon. Like, academically, they have to be aware. It’s even worse.

It’s 8 am and I need to go sit in a dark room before I punch someone

So the Bluesky post from the journalist who wrote this article is as batshit to read as the article, unfortunately
