Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? 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 you’ll 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 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
david heinemeier hanson of the ruby on rails fame decided to post a white supremacist screed with a side of transphobia because now he doesn’t need to pretend anything anymore. it’s not surprising, he was heading this way for a while, but seeing the naked apology of fascism is still shocking for me.
any reasonable open source project he participates in should immediately cut ties with the fucker. (i’m not holding my breath waiting, though.)
@mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 bad news, he’s just financed a coup of Rubygems…
(well, shopify did. he’s on the board. so, looks like, best guess.)
(edit: fixed wrong company name.)
@fishidwardrobe @mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 Do you mean shopify? https://joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-takeover/
@koantig @mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 bugger, yes, editing.
I was in London last week and I can confirm it still has the Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and streets. The Tube is as shite and loud and warm and tight as ever. I even got called a cunt once. Had a blast. On a scale of Bordeaux to Beans on Toast I rank it 9/10 Britishness
Urgh, I couldn’t even get through the whole article, it’s too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another “no politics at work”-guy turns out to support fascism!
just yesterday I saw this toot and now I know why
(I mean, they probably should’ve bounced the guy a decade ago, but definitely even more time for it now)
@mawhrin just casually pitching “great replacement theory” there. What a little Nazi
@mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 Important to note:-
This is the #omarchy Linux distro architect in chief.
That’s what you’re aligning yourself with, even unintentionally, if one chooses to use it.
I use Windows, not Linux. I think you’re confusing me with someone else.
For the record, if you see participants in the thread (and the author of the post) tagged just pretend it isn’t there. Mastodon models its notification feature after email To: and Cc:
it was a general statement. (you got tagged because you boosted it, not because it was a direct reply to you.)
