Down Is Up

Chill Clowns, Evil

At first, the solidarity was breathtaking. Out of concern for ourselves and one another, we suspended nearly all interpersonal activity for months, wiping our lives almost entirely clean of the very people we were trying to protect.

Covidians: THERE WAS NO LOCKDOWN! IT’S A MYTH! A LIE!

Anyone sane: Looks like a fuckin’ lockdown to me.

Of course the clown-ass crazy-fuck Covidians mean that no one came around welding your door shut as occurred in China. Which was their greatest wish, their fondest desire. They only care about taking things away and harming people so of course that’s what they wanted.

Let’s be glad we didn’t cede that much ground to those barking-mad bullshit artists.

Pill Bugs

Chill Culture, Evil

Probably is the smartphone/social media combo. That’s a cognitive poison pill we’re wholly unsuited to deal with.

He Found the Self-Destruct Button

Chill Evil, Political Economy, Politics

I thought the idea absurd in 2015-2016 that Trump might be a Russian agent, or least on their payroll. Now I think it’s probably substantially true.

Has a country so large ever destroyed itself so quickly? Maybe Germany in the lead-up to WWII, but even that was slower if I’ve read my history correctly.

Early Onset Alzheimer’s

Chill Evil, Tech

Smartphones and social media are enormous cognitohazards that are now actually destroying intelligence too. Not surprising, but more than alarming.

Phone addicts, cry harder.

Decline and Fall

Chill Evil

UMass disbands its entering biomed graduate class over Trump funding chaos. Schools across the country are cutting back as US research takes “severe blow.”

What we’re doing now is some of the dumbest set of actions I’ve ever seen any country do on purpose to itself. No one can tell me Harris would’ve been worse than this. We didn’t need an enemy to destroy us. We’re doing it ourselves, and for no particular reason at all.

Bikejacket

Chill Evil, Tech

It is a terrible loss. I’ve said and written this before and I will probably do so again, but Steve Jobs envisioned computers as “bicycles for the mind.” Instead, we’ve made them into manacles and straitjackets that serve the rich and the authoritarian.

I’m old enough to remember when I could easily make my computer do anything that I could think of or had time to figure out. Now, you’re lucky if you can get a machine to run something “unauthorized” at all. Mozilla and Google clowns et al. will tell you nothing else is possible because of “security.” Why, they are protecting you from yourself “for your own good!1 But remember: the only security they actually care about is keeping the computer secure from you, the user.

  1. Anytime someone trots this line out, check your wallet, your data, and the location of your kids.

Flubber

Chill Evil

Microsoft Edge is also removing the ability to use uBlock Origin. Without that add-on, the internet is not usable. Firefox is the last browser standing and it’s also terrible.

We could have done so much better but flubbed it. As usual. Evil won because good was too weak.

Degro

Chill Evil

Degrowthers are some evil fucks. They are fine with billions dead and don’t mind saying so. They see it as just punishment for past sins.

Humans are so prone to religiousness in various forms, even if they themselves cannot recognize it and handle it like an adult.

Putin Got Ya

Chill Evil, Lying Liars

The Talks That Could Have Ended the War in Ukraine.

Anyone who believes this terrible article is a Putin propaganda victim. I’m sorry for you but it’s true. Russians are masters at propaganda as they spent so very long perfecting it.

And it works. These “peace talks” were to buy Russia time so they could regroup and invade again after Ukrainian defenses were down.

Russian intelligence (FSB) even said that themselves. Believe Putin why? Gawdamn y’all stupid.
