Grimes has gotta stop drinking the brain-smoothing juice.

Exactly, that was most of why I decided to make this post. This is ultimately a distraction, intentional or not. They all say and do the vilest shit, and yes, it sucks, and yes, it does normalise outward actions of hate, amongst other terrible real-world effects, but that all pales in comparison to the power they hold and the decisions they can make to harm people.

Infighting-wise, that was a false hope, and hope is a mistake. If Trump were to fight Musk over something, it would be between something that benefits Trump and something that benefits Musk. Neither is likely to be good. Maybe we will get a bit of delay out of it, but that'd be about it.

No problem. But in case you were disappointed that you didn’t get the shitpost you feared, here’s tomorrow’s headline: “twitter character limit increased to 1488”

The insight is appreciated nonetheless. I would love to live in a world where America is not a Nazi bar and we had the luxury of finding humor in pinpointing exactly which neonazi playgroup musk is trying to join.

Fucking hell, lol. Back in October '23 I reposted some pro-palestinian content on social media from the "jewish voice for peace" organisation, and a guy who recently went on Birthright immediately started DMing me and was posting links to the ADL page claiming that JVP is an antisemitic organisation. Because I am a well-adjusted person, I didn't need verification that the ADL was full of shit, but vindication is always nice.

I don't know how to construct this joke/pun well but the gist of it would be that Trump wearing a rug (aka a hairpiece) is foreshadowing for the eventual rug pull

In case anyone else comes here to say this: amongst many other things, this shit is funny. Even out of context: someone defending their choice of ex by saying they were good at gaming is already funny. Ladling all the other layers of context only makes it more and more farcical.

the writers of hey mickey have a writing credit on it, but the ting tings got shafted.

of course it is one in a long tradition of tech-tangential songs, including this banger about the inevitable collapse of tech bubbles

This is extremely tangential to the areas of sneer interest, but seeing as this is the only technology related community I am in, I’m putting it here.

This song has been making the rounds on the charts/social media and I refuse to believe that it isn’t about the package management tool apt
