Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

utterly off-topic but to usher in the weekend (and because I’ve dropped Spotify): what’s some music

no wrong answers just start listing artists and albums you like

Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions, Telefís). His solo album Black River Falls is beautiful (The Ghost of Limehouse Cut, Black River Falls, Frankfurt Cowboy Yodel)... To say nothing of Microdisney or the Fatima Mansions.

Actually one of the songs on his last album with Telefís was a mockery of TESCREAL beliefs. Space Is Us: "I will live forever in those racks of tin"
