Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
A) At this point I would be more surprised to learn that AI psychosis wasnāt infecting the upper tiers of the white house tbh. Like, at this point we could get a leak that Hegseth had been developing a literal god complex alongside his LLM mistress and I wouldnāt bat an eye.
B) It seems like a particularly bad sign that this is coming from thr Saudis given that theyāve been a consistent ally that the US has spent a lot of material resources and political capital to support. Ed: not actually an official Saudi government source. When you assume you make an ass of yourself, etc.
Not the Saudis, just a Saudi focused outlet.
That this comes from the Saudi Royal Family is especially rich because of the amount of plain-olā sycophancy around Neom.
