      That’s about 800 characters, though. X the everything app has helpfully made it easier to ignore bluechecks by allowing them to make their posts tl;dr and saving me the trouble of accidentally reading them.

    Amazing. They think thinking about science fiction and technology is the same as actually doing the work, and compare themselves to the industrial revolution. Railroads, factories, blockchain.

    “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

    [Kung Fu Monkey – Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]

    E: I hope I don’t have to explain how extremely reactionary for the industrial revolution this dumb cryptocurrency ad is. (Also how conspiratorial, nobody is stopping yall from building cryptoshit, in fact the richest people on the world are on your side and it looks like they are trying to support you (ignore the hands in the treasury), it is just that people you think are socially cool(*) think you are lame). E2 forgot to mention, amazing how bad twitter has become, a lot of the bluecheck replies that float to the top there are just crap.

    *: myself excluded, I am very uncool.

    The ad sounded extremely … off. The voices had the shitty mic scratchiness that I’d come to expect from a fresh 2010 YouTuber. The scene was abysmally acted, sounding like if someone with zero training was told to “speak with emotion”… wait is it autoplag?

      ”… wait is it autoplag?

      …I mean we’re talking about a product made by techbros, for techbros, they most likely used autoplag in lieu of getting anyone with a shred of artistic talent involved
