Telstra, partnering with shitty people and throwing money at a shitty technology? What year is this, <any year of Telstra's private operation>?

I think in this thread it’s not “this thing is gross because it involves sex stuff”, it’s “this sex stuff is made gross by the involvement of aella and co, who we understand to have fundamentally different and incorrect ideas about ethics both in general and specific to sex”

Basically anything Aella touches merits a sniff test.

Seeing Yarvin mansplain eugenics really does make one wonder how he doesn't just get suckerpunched whenever he says anything at someone in public.

I didn’t know that uwu news influencer was a thing.

It's probably a thing where if you start thinking about it, it's always been around, but we've just never had the right vocabulary to describe it.

Opening up the sack with your new favourite uwu news influencer giving a quick shout-out to our old pals, the NRx. Hoped that we wouldn’t get here, but here we are, regardless.

i’m gonna need a hint here, boss. Here’s my guesses:

my guesses

  • Jim Carrey (eggman from live action sonic)
  • DJT (campaigned on price of eggs)
  • m12n (looks like an egg)
  • that one LWer that posts really long anti-trans screeds (probably not this person but it’s tempting to label them as an egg)

I thought this was a joke about post-grad studies that I didn’t get

Another big oof. Hippie ass white guy saying that we should just JAQ off and give other problematic white guys a chance. Sounds about white!

Also his book is co/ghost written by Neil Strauss, the game/PUA manual guy.

Oof that’s the good stuff. Chuds with overly self-inflated egos co-opting eastern philosophy for tech shit is pretty well known around these parts. It’s refreshing to see it from a slightly different white guy.

Also, my usual muckraking bore unexpected fruit:

I’m gonna believe it. The Candace Owens part is disputed, and I daresay debunked, though.

text of tweet inside imageFrom @BootsRiley:

Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump.

He just looks like a hippie.
