We all (or most of us) remember when Musk took over Twitter. People got fired, the website became increasingly unstable, the algorithm got tweaked to be less “biased” toward fascist propaganda, lies, and hate, and then everyone left in droves. Then, in response to this, Meta launched Threads, a Twitter...

Keeping up with my finnicky tradition of always moving my store around in Second Life about once every six months (at this point), I’ve transferred land ownership back to the account that actually runs the store, and moved to a better parcel! This comes, after realizing I made a huge...

We’ve all seen it at this point: Chronic shitposters (largely coming from Bluesky) using AI generated imagery to poke fun at the incoming administration, or generative slop users themselves. And, every single time, I imagine these people think they’re doing something productive, or revolutionary, or funny. But here’s the news...

So, last week, I wrote about Meta inadvertently planning to confirm the “Dead Internet Theory,” with cringy fake people (AI bots), and how enthusiastic the Zuck was about all of this, despite there being no value, or any verifiable reason for it all to exist.

And Mark Zuckerberg continues to provide glaring examples of why that’s true. From his sanitized Second Life clone, Horizons, to the present day, with AI generated social...

A long time ago, in an age far, far away … Ten years ago, to be exact. And, keeping within the theme of traveling back in time to the world of Tumblr fandoms and Gamergate, it’s time we switched gears to the once growing “trans exclusionary radical feminist” movement, and...

Some people weren’t around for what happened in 2014, and the “initialization” of “gamergate” that would, seemingly, never go away (see this link for more information). But I was there (and this is why I say that Twitter was never actually good), and I remember what the discourse and shitposting...

A while back I had a real shoddy, and not-so-well integrated search function on my website. It kinda sucked. The text bled off of the page, there was no pagination, and the result querying was live, which also didn’t look good. I’ve been working on a lot of things on...
