Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
For those wondering about the LessOnline event, hereās the actual plan
āWhiteboards, whiteboards everywhere, yet not a thought to think!ā
My man spent 10 paragraphs failing to describe the intended vibe of the event heās organizing. This is what happens when you only read tweets and substacks, you completely lose the ability to describe the immaterial.
dunno about you, but that absolutely informs me about the event in fullness
No, nope, nononono, nope right off, no, nope.
If the moon gets mad at us thatās why
They are a satire of themselves. You really can read only that and perfectly imagine how insufferable the event is.
There is also the āCreating the Fooming shoggoths after action reportā talk where they talk about how hard it was to get the AI to make the songs, and to get all the raunchy popculture references just right without it making references to Ernest Clines poetry.
Iād rather see that than the concert, but thatās a pretty low bar to meet. They are spending more time tricking the autocomplete into working than it would take to write goofy songs directly.
Clearly you are not familiar with Clines raunchy poetry.

Is it worth getting Agnes Callard if sheās not a double act with her second husband/former grad student?

ācozy/spaciousnessā
The Danes do not have a term for this, but if they did, it might be* hyggelig dimensioner*. A good name for an oversized couch at Ikea. Also, the Danes would not include āwhiteboards everywhereā as part of cozy, warm, intellectual conversation, but hey.
You need the whiteboards to schedule the orgies.
