This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

If people do get vaxxed and people wore masks it'd basically go away but they don't and if you ask they get really hostile. I don't really understand why but they get really really mad. We could basically put an end to this in two weeks, six years ago and you could do it now if you wanted to.

I hate being isolated in a nazi shithole. I've given 200% for years and all I have to show is decades lost

abolish ice abolish the police abolish at the combination ice police

abolish ICE = abolish the police. they’ve always been murderous racist thugs.

LeGuin clocked Rowling from the jump

Prices will never come down Capitalism needs to end

I am accidentally researching a topic that finance bros are into and I cannot believe there is a single human alive dumb enough to listen to finance bros. Holy crap how does that industry exist scammers on scammers on dumbass scammers.

The internet used to be a place where you would read something and it would be worth saying out loud to another person. Eventually got to a point when you used to be able to get away with patching a personality out of them, so over time volume became important. Hence, "die hard is a christmas movie"

its funny that stress drains your ability to accomplish consider it spends the whole time yelling that you need it if youre ever going to accomplish

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

What if I started the anarchist meshcore collective in preparation for decentralizing communication and building a nation wide diy Network for the inevitable end of the internet? What then?!

Another year of absolute isolation except for my abusive parents. Another year of sand through my fingers.

if you’re not masking in 2026 you’re cringe !

I'm entering 2026 slightly more skeptical towards Gertrude Stein for some reason

general strike when

Someone needs to fucking stop the united states.

this era's artifacts all reflect its fascist capitalist values to such a brilliance that all our junk is going to fall apart and be gone from our daily lives when they stop producing it. I can barely imagine being in 2030 holding a 2025 object.

After the revolution, we could have snacks that are satisfying instead of things like 'crave-worthy'

Even for the holidays, the algorithm thinks "music" has to make you dead empty inert still

I want to make art so powerful that it destroys anyone with the hegemonic values and beliefs. It needs to be dangerous for shit people to find. It destroys me instead that I can't even get to 1% of that

I'd get sworn in on the dog from Existenz

There must be joy in the revolution for how else will we dance on their graves?

It may never be useful but I'm cleaning up and speeding up my blast beat midi finger drumming while working on internal time without a click

It doesn't look like 2016 is gonna end this year either

Like the conflation of control with care is not morally or politically neutral. It's fundamentally patriarchal.

I clicked the unhappy button on youtube yesterday out of frustration. I think all it did was nuke all people of color from my feed, the opposite of what I would have liked.

this is just basic psychological self defense. ads - not all ads, but many ads - want to make you FEEL BAD. they want to create in you a feeling of loss, a feeling of absence, that they can promise to fill with their product. don’t let them! turn that shit off the moment it comes on.

No shit, I believe the lack of medical care, ubi, even basic living wages and affordable living spaces is tolerated by a large segment of an aging population because it's turning the screws on three generations of people trying to flee abusive structures. The harder we try, the more they hurt us.

Idiocracy kinda sucks in some ways, but the getting kicked in the balls show has more artistry, care, and even heart than the ai slop my parents like

2025

cannot emphasize enough how much this stuff does not belong in a security critical application like a browser. putting intermediaries between the user and the websites they visit should get you classed as malware

It's wild how things are already worse than 2008 and the bubble hasn't even burst yet

you know it had to be done

Dressing up like an astronaut is stolen valor and that makes it funny and good

I really really don't like foggy bogbottom in arcane dimensions

This is an important distinction precisely because companies deliberately conflate LLM / "gen AI" with what the majority of "machine learning" actually is, which is mostly regression analysis. If you throw them all into one bucket and call it AI, the latter is bringing up the average utility a lot

I would love to know how monkey punch got his drawing references

a lot of people’s racist, white supremacist, antiBlack, misogynistic, patriarchal ideas about what it means to be a man or a woman are fundamentally at odds with what it means to be a good or even decent human being, and their inability to reconcile that wreaks so havoc upon society

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now. But there's an even more important reason...

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

Are electrical outlets mad at me? Many users feel like they're looking at an angry little guy

This weed's taste reminds me of a balloon's asshole
