An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It’s 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don’t expect everyone to everything for you.

Well, now I feel like an idiot. I've always assumed that was just an expression!

Yep, it's a little too accurate for my liking. My cat's got me wrapped around his tiny little adorable paw and he knows it.

“I hope they stop. Don’t advertise, If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is." - Elon Musk, November 27th 2023

OpenAI, meanwhile, accused Musk of essentially being jealous that he was no longer involved in the startup, after he left OpenAI in 2018 following an unsuccessful bid to convince his fellow co-founders to let Tesla acquire it.

So a spoiled brat had a massive hissy fit after not getting his way? Yeah, that sounds like Elon alright.

This dude isn't just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he's exceptionally stupid.

Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

    “Gamer precursor” is a bit of a surprise.

    "Increasingly" is the key word there, pal.

    Did it actually radicalize, or just take the mask off?

    When a community allows you to feel comfortable "taking the mask off" and embracing your inner bigot that is radicalization. So yes, The_Donald did radicalize people. Your comment is an attempt to highlight a distinction without a functional difference.

    It's 2024, anyone feigning ignorance about what constitutes a "far-right vocabulary" is just being disingenuous.

    Yeah, I've always described r/Conservative as The_Donald dressed up in their dad's suit and tie. But once The_Donald was finally banned (after they already left for their own website - thanks for nothing spez) r/Conservative dropped all pretenses.
