the entire physical media landscape is being turned into little more than a speculative market ala Funko Pops. I'm glad they're finally realizing this, but they have no one to blame but themselves

imagine being 10 years into this and only asking yourself now if you were being conned into buying multiple variants of albums you only kind of liked

this website is run by a racist, transphobic CEO that openly believes in shit as stupid as Roko's basilisk. So what's next?

honestly, it seems more and more like Jay & co. thought they could speed speedrun this app to a.circa 2016 Twitter user base at best, or a circa 2022 Twitter base at worst, without really interrogating whether that would be possible in a post-X/Truthsocial world

Yeah, timeline is a bit messy but Zander was in Bun E. Carlo’s Air Force but it failed. Bun E. headed to Philadelphia to join Rick and Tom in Sick Man of Europe. Zander headed up to the Wisconsin Dells for a 3-summer residency at a club there; Sick Man went back to Rockford and became Cheap Trick

Here's a quick AI remix I did of a pre-Robin Zander Cheap Trick playing Badfinger's "No Matter What" at the Jewish Community Center of Rockford, IL on December 27, 1973. At this point, their vocalist was Randy Hogan, who performed under the name Xeno:

to translate: Moldbug's argument here is that the administration needs to exterminate the american left to be successful, and they're not willing to go that far, so they're bound to fail.

he's not wrong.

but I have a hard time believing that he'll see any consequences. he does like his fanfic tho.

Historically, so many Bureau agents are tightly wound, morally arrogant and overbearing weirdos with a penchant for pearl-clutching. Fuck, a disproportionate number of Mormons work for the FBI!

I guess they better check their grip on those pearls and make sure their fingers aren't bleeding?

for real though, i've read several books that deal with FBI investigations (lots of which were carried out for highly dubious pseudo-moral crusades) but the thing I took away is that the unwritten rule of the Bureau is "don't embarrass the Bureau"

I guess those days are over?

and before someone invariably comes over all indignant, i am absolutely not saying that i think it's bad when people do make money off posting stuff on the internet - but i think that Everything I Do Online Is Money On the Table Brain has been highly corrosive

It's good to know that comic book fans on reddit are still as assholeish as they were back when I worked in a comic book store. keep that dream alive, fellas!

I think it's pretty funny that Jay ultimately wants Bsky to be Twitter circa a week before Musk took over, even though this site was built by people fleeing that Nazi bar and swore Never Again.

Wouldn't it be nice if 2016 didn't happen? Yes! But that wish is clotheslined by the reality that IT DID.
