The man cut off a whale head and strapped it to his car. He dumped a dead bear in Central Park. A worm ate his brain.

Nothing is disqualifying ever again. Nothing.

Here's what I sent.

Ye's got problems, fine. He can believe whatever stupid shit he wants. But when you monetize the hate group merch, there should be pushback. And companies like Shopify only react when they're scared of bad press.

Journalists, do your thing.

Worst part for me is, Shopify is how I sell my farm's products. If they allow this, I'll have to find another shop tool.

It shouldn't be this hard to do business online without patronizing a nazi bar.

Thank you to everyone who reported the site yesterday. You helped. We can fight nazis together.

If you have a Shopify account, please report this site (yeezy dot com) that's selling a t-shirt with a swastika on it. Yes, it's Kanye. But I don't care who it is, this is unacceptable.

You have to have a Shopify account to report it.

Don't ever be a dick to other people online, but especially don't be a dick right now. Myself and everyone I know are barely keeping our shit together as our country is taken over by fascists.

Going mildly viral here remains extremely unpleasant.

When Elon Musk took over Twitter, we could leave Twitter. When Elon Musk took over America, we couldn’t.

And that, friends, is why corporations are not governments. That’s why the rules for each are different.

Everything seems pretty fucked up right now, and I can't do much about it, but I can show you some goats and give you a coupon. So, here's Peach and Hershey being adorable.

I would bet money this story was seeded by a PR firm on retainer with Tesla. Be on the lookout for other stories profiling poor innocent Tesla owners being pilloried by those mean freedom-hating Musk-bashers.

And in the meantime, keep flipping off Cybertrucks.

@evan TikTok is as much about the video tools as the algo. Neither of which are here.

Saying goodbye to TikTok.

Helly is FAKING. She’s not severed anymore.

They'll boil the oceans for the promise of free labor. That's what's driving all the AI bullshit: a bunch of rich assholes who don't want to pay workers.

As a Jew, I am so tired of neo-nazis using "antisemitism" as an excuse to enable fascism.

If that was too complicated a sentence, let me put it this way: Fuck the Heritage Foundation. Long live the free encyclopedia!

Now that's a good headline.

"Zuckerberg Announces New Measures to Increase Hate Speech on Facebook"

Delete your Instagram account before they make AI slop with your face on it.

Meta has been horrible for years so I don’t know why today’s shit is the bridge too far, but it is. I deactivated my Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Fuck Meta entirely.

I love being right.
