Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
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 ā 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.

Elon musk voice: āSo euhmmm euuhhh ummm you are ummm euhh saying it has umm some value?ā
E: But wait there is more
Tweet from Paul Graham: āRenaming Twitter X doesnāt seem to have damaged it. But it doesnāt seem to have helped it either. So it was a waste of time and a domain name.ā
And more
Reply tweet from Elon Musk: āYou know nothingā
(And as is tradition when Musk replies to a famous person, the famous person doesnāt even react).
The tragedy of being Elon Musk: he has thousands and thousands of cryptocurrency bros and fascists that worship the ground he walks on, but what he really want is for Stephen King to reply to one of his tweets.
Stephen King is busy working him in as a villain in a new novel.
What if a social media site turned evil!
thatās his one move
I read Cell so reluctantly
At this point the real plot twist would be if a social media site turned out good.
always wondered about those āAwful Systemsā fuckers
Iām gonna change my name to photoselfie and become, allegedly, the fucking worst
careful, you might end up buying twitter for 44p
