The Scrunglerrrrrr

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something

our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

i’m Team Throw That Guy Under the Bus Immediately but maybe this could at least be a moment to examine the predominant culture of the U.S. armed forces lol

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

a simple drawing of a cat hitting a drum. sound effect is "tippy pat".

a screenshot of Estinien in Azys Lla saying "Machines are not to be trusted, least of all those that can think."

obviously people deserve blame for being antisemitic but it is a world-historical catastrophe that almost every institution nominally dedicated to fighting antisemitism has decided to burn their credibility for the short term interests of the Netanuahu government

i hate that i had 0 context, had a hunch of who you were talking about, and was correct when i got context

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

if the grocery store is understaffed there's a nonzero chance that whatever produce you're buying has been sitting in unsafe temperatures. food safety comes last in too many cases

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

my house has tenna drawn directly over it. i feel like i know which neighbor it was lmao

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.

@ every single fandom and rp discord moderator who has silenced poc attempting to call out racism and/or failed to actively meaningfully call out the racist jokes and statements made by other white people in the chat beyond a lukewarm "no politics please 🥺"

Everyone in the discord seeing it for the first time, ceasing all discussion figuring out mechanics, and going "I don't think you can reclaim that one"

It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have. If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

Good idea:
Remind people that what is happening in Texas is a symptom of climate change, itself a symptom of capitalism, and all of the blame for the event and the poor handling of it lies at the feet of the GOP.

Bad idea:
-Making smug jokes about little kids who drowned.

Single panel cartoon in the style of Gary Larson Far side. Hacker T. Dog, a dog puppet in a flashy shirt, pulls a goofy smile behind a table of 4 crudely made tools as his co-host, Lauren, puts her thumb and forefinger to her nose trying to stifle laughter. Caption reads "just normal tools."

what do you mean 'normal tools'?

just innocent men
innocent men
innocent me

very stupid bakool ja ja joke

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly
