The Masked Poster

The best way I can think to explain my experience with You Can See Everything is that it was the Godzilla Vs Kong of manipulative weirdos, then King Ghidorah crashes in with the coke sniffles

Haunting. Looking at Gaza on the updated Google Maps and seeing all of the ghosts of dead communities of people living as close to normal lives as they could. Obliterated pharmacies and a cat cafe. A green park now dead between and sporting rows of what looks like tents. So many schools.

I don't understand bluesky

I don't disavow Hasan Piker because of his politics, though they are at times ill-formed, if largely harmless. I disavow him because no one at that age should be ending that many sentences with "bro"

Damn it, Ollie

Richard Dawkins has been mocked a lot recently for thinking AI chatbots are alive, and how this reflects on his career as a renowned skeptic. I've written about how it's not very contradictory at all.

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

Uh-oh! Worst person you know learned the word "hasberra"

Lib: (nudging the news with their snout) votes? election??

I wonder if John McCain is smiling up on us right now

Good time to maintain guest space in your home if you can. I have to keep one in mind for my various trans loved ones. I'm watching and trying to stay prepared to help. No one should be alone in this.

Fun thing about studying comp sci is that it feels more like I'm learning about a system built by tired modern nerds. Chem and physics name everything after scientists or ancient Greek root words. Then you get software algorithms, where something is called a "bucket" because you throw numbers in it

CNN already uses the passive voice when cops kill people, nix coverage supportive of Palestine and sanewashes everything Trump says, so I guess at least that won't change much

I've been playing Dragon Quest 3 (HD-Remake) and I came to a point where I needed to make a merchant to send off for the main story and I just kind of made a guy called "Fat Chud" thinking this would be of no consequence. Immediately I'm faced with the consequence of my actions

this is what happened with JD Vance and his mom

Vote blue no matter who. Newsom. AOC. Hasan Piker. Whatever. All I want to know is who do I cyberbully in order to do the most civic good

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

The piss tank on the ISS is now 40% full.

small brain: "the elves frown upon human-elf relationships because they are hidebound reactionaries" large brain: "any elf that has sex with a human under the age of 100 is a disgusting pervert"

I'm totally okay with sending humans back to the moon. But it should absolutely not be rich assholes doing tourist nonsense. Let's get some footage of sick dune buggy and crater action. Let's get Google street view up there. Let me Cameo an astronaut to hit a golf ball out of orbit

I'm glad I got over my lame "sportsball is dumb" phase. I still have no idea what's going on but it's lovely to watch how much fun everyone is having with it

I don't have a ton of exposure, but my general impression of Hasan Piker is that he's very intelligent and well-spoken amongst his peers, but his peers are streamer debate bros so he ultimately has the critical thinking skills and political instincts of microwaved toothpaste

babies are like dogs in being so great for photos bc you can read so much into their expression while whats actually in their head is “hungry” or “wha?”

I don't care anymore. 2020 was only 3 years ago. Fuck you

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

Gonna start posting in French to scare him

I can't fuckin do this year anymore, man

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

I see people saying that introducing Constitutional amendments is useless because there's no avenue for them to pass with 2/3 of Congress, but doesn't that gesture to an alarming, fundamental issue with our Constitution considering it was made to evolve with the times via amendments

Wrote some stuff about Pentiment, a game that does something precious with the people it's about. backloggd.com/u/Minaplo/re...

Start checking under your couch cushions for better candidates now. Our obnoxiously long primary season starts next year

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Seth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms. This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.

It kills me that they bought and paid for the site and changed it to boost visiblity of nazis, but the vice president trotting out the new marching orders keeps getting double ratio'd by a random YouTuber with a chao PFP Turned TWT into a landfill. Still not King of Garbage Mountain

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Basically correct I think
