Nobody needs to hang out with Nazis to "convert" them. It is 20 fucking 19. They are specifically choosing to remain that way. Fuck all the way off, John Q Internet User. You are CHOOSING to hang out with Nazis. Ask yourself why instead of patting yourself on the back for TOLERATING RACIST GENOCIDAL FUCKHEADS

"woo the internet is dying, now we gotta make a new one just for techies and nerds just like it was in the 90s" is a bad take.

the internet and whatever comes after it needs to be accessible.

"normal" people aren't killing the open web, capitalism is.

kinda weird how the right adopted "facts dont care about your feelings" as a slogan when literally all they do is ignore material reality and history to satisfy their racist bloodthirst

The only song I knew by McCarthy before now was "Red Sleeping Beauty", which is about rising up (or not) against Margaret Thatcher

When I am looking to buy a car, I highly prefer ones that are obvious death traps, with lots of sharp corners so that it is for all practical purposes a heavy, high speed knife.

Fuck what Ralph Nader said with that unsafe at any speed crap. My car shall be pointy and lack any way to escape when it crashes.

thinking about the destruction of 5pointz this morning

5pointz was this massive set of beautiful graffiti murals in New York. It was on an old building that had been converted into a bunch of studios, and it was visible from the 7 train in Queens.

in 2013, in defiance of appeals to the contrary, the landlord decided he didn't want 5pointz anymore, and he wanted to convert that building into condos. He whitewashed the building overnight, and that was that.
