  • You don't recognize it?

  • Oof, really?

  • Damn right. He needs to quit, he's the one who sucks.

    The fash don't have magic doodoo fingers that obligate decent people to surrender every time they touch something we like, and we should never concede as if they do.

  • Tf is a sneer machine

  • The Oppenheimers we have at home

  • When I steal the trickle-down lying machine, it's called a "piss take."

  • Like a restaurant that is a money laundering front for the mafia. You're not supposed to actually eat there, ya know?

  • It's been a long time since I opened a website and sincerely whispered "cool."

  • Lol, lmao, and also yarrr

    Glorious banner material

  • May we live to see the day!

  • "Apolitical" is peak red flag these days, eh?

  • Yes, but I wouldn't say that to someone I want to still like me after.

  • You've got to be shitting me.

    Edit: maybe all these weirdos in the techfash groupchat are experimenting with the wrong nootropics and gave themselves brain damage. They all seem to be unravelling simultaneously.

  • A new pokemon game for switch/switch2 came out (Pokemon Legends Z-A)

    Lots of gamergate smell wafting around gamer reddit, particularly regarding conspiracy theories about reviews. Dudes being completely unhinged that it isn't whatever version they played when they were 10 years old but with AAA graphics. Real normal stuff to reply about 100x in a day.

    It could just be me being defensive about a thing my kids like lol.

    It's just that my intuition nudges me when I come across that variety of authoritarian confidently incorrect guy who can't imagine people liking things that they dont like (or vice versa), and who will move worlds to enforce their one true take. It feels like they're everywhere, fueling most dumb internet social movements. It's like it could be a small piece of a General Theory of Weird Online Assholes.

    The phenomenon rhymes with Musk Reply Guys, Music Experts Who Hate Taylor Swift Professionally, Claude Code Evangelists, and Star Wars Fandom.

  • Hell yeah

  • Usually you get tech creeps insisting that they could've done physics. Isn't it kind of uncanny when a physicist insists on their capacity for tech creeping? Edit: also thanks for the explainer!

  • What do you reckon the overlap is between the grown men who are mad about the new pokemon game and our regular subjects?
