There is no longer ANY question that Gizmodo Media is not long for the world. They dumped Deadspin, then a week later sold off AV Club and said something about “finding a buyer for the Onion”. After spending uncounted millions for these properties–and watching them bleed staff year after year.

Not only that, few mentions were made of salon.com being sold off to a Maltese company having something to do with online gambling. Hilarious to see one of the most determined left-leaning web magazines being snapped up by the sleaziest of capitalists. Expect layoffs and doom.

Themis Matsoukas was a prominent Penn State chemical-engineering professor. Until the dog-fucking was mentioned. And Erick Jones, dean of engineering at UNR, has apparently been writing phony academic papers. With the assistance of his wife, who also works at UNR. Resume stuffing works!

Do you have any idea how many people are being assassinated by Putin’s minions? Loads of them. Even if they aren’t in Russia.

Ever heard of a popular YouTube “family” series called “8 Passengers”? You can’t see it anymore, because reasons.

Betcha didn’t know that “ladyboys” in Thailand are having violent riots.

And finally (thank christ) remember Will DePue? He recently put up this website showing all the Starlink satellites. Will is apparently a huge Musk fanboy. Shocking.

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

….is an outright genocide run by a Netanyahu who will be drop-kicked out of office when the “war” ends, possibly drop-kicked into jail because he has two open corruption cases against him (that’s why he tried to junk the Israeli supreme court.). You are dead wrong that this is normal for the Middle East, and criticizing Israel is not “antisemitism”, it is criticism of a US ally, like criticizing Saudi Arabia for being a totalitarian dictatorship and corrupt hellhole (which it is.) When the Israeli “defense” chief calls Palestinians “human animals”, I get “Der Sturmer” vibes. 

Because on February 4, the Chronicle had a bouquet of shit on its front page. A brutal storm, PG&E screwing its customers, and this poor bastard being forced out of the city because he built two sheds in his backyard. Fuck that town, okay? And fuck their 12,000 restaurants or whatever it is. It is no longer a “city”, it is a closed playground community for arrogant techdudebros and their billionaire masters. They don’t want you.

Remember those consummate YouTube idiot parasites, the “ACE Family”? No new happy-fun family-friendly videos in months–because they got a divorce. It was “amicable”. Yeah suuuure.

Consider Nick Deluiis. A regular tweeting fool–about how climate change is a “myth”, wind power is “dangerous”, and the oil companies are always “right”. Wonder how much they’re paying him to shriek at a very small readership.

Manosphere-ism is still a “boom industry”. Too many shitheads have seen the rise of Roosh V and the Tates and said “gee, I can also tell idiot teenaged boys that women need to be kept down”. So we have things like Alpha Masculinity–which looks anything but “alpha”. More crap-pa than alpha.

Hipsters suck, and the Guardian gives them column space. To blubber in a hipstery way.

And as for Tumblr…..I keep seeing posts like this. Followed by angry/stupid young people deploring the “Zionist Nazi” state of Israel for punishing the poor Palestinians. NEITHER side is “right” in this dispute, and for uncounted thousands of years that part of the world has been fought over. Usually religion was involved. And it will continue. Israel has received special treatment from the US for more than 75 years. So today, seeing spoiled American millennials whining about “evil Jewish settlers”, makes for a truly pathetic look. Not to mention an antisemitic one. (Do you really think you’re gonna “rewrite history” on Tumblr?)

Hilariously, Hans Reiser wrote a long letter, and the coding world took it seriously. Yeah dudes, I would call murdering your wife a “social mistake”. As usual the nerds line to up to criticize ReiserFS. And not the murder.

Substack boo hoo hoo. There is no “free speech” anywhere, for anyone, because people are shit monsters. “Free speech for me, but fuck you.”

Going back a few years, because I have to “blaze” posts to get any of Tumblr’s resident shitheads to notice them.

(PS: Will DePue apparently reopened his Xshitter, said nothing about the shutdown, and went back to ranting about AI. Plus he and his stupid buds bought one of those plastic “train horns” intended for cars, and took it to the beach to fire it off. Don’t look at me.)

On October 10, AI researcher Will DePue posted “How to legally pirate every font on earth in an afternoon” on his blog. Two days later, he obliterated the contents of his blog and closed out his Twitter. Thus he disappeared from the internet. Why?

As mentioned here, Mastodon is having a “small problem” with abusive users. Calling them “pedants” is too polite. Ken “Popehat” White bailed out, and people screamed at him. Not only that…..One of the most extreme examples of a Mastodon server I’ve ever seen is octodon.social, run by this deeply troubled person. And you can’t just dismiss it as a minor freakshow, because this excellent post is on the same server. Upshot: Mastodon is not much different from X-shitter, just less centralized.

A Guy In Town is a noted expert on laser machining. If you can skip over his rants about vaxxing, Agenda 2030 conspiracies, etc.

YouTube Shit: did I complain about Matt Field and his stupid channel yet? Idiots seem to love watching “survival” videos. No matter how fake.

What about Tiktok stupid? There’s so much…..but this bitch and a whole traffic jam of fellow idiots got lost on desert roads because I-15 out of Vegas was backed up. “GPS is MAGIC!” There’s also Madison. A pimply white girl who will never EVER date a white man. Apparently she was kicked off Facebook and X-shitter.

Darktable is an open-source application for archiving and batch processing of photographs in the RAW file format. Unfortunately, one of its developers hated it so much, he went off and created a “fork”. And ranted about it on his blog. At length.

Nothing says “Gizmodo level of stupid” like “This Sea Creature Could Fight Cancer, Looks Like A Turd”.

Yeh, blah blah, we know.
