So The Purge started as an astroturfed pogrom? That’s fucking brutal.

My pappy† always used to say, “you can’t have a nation without culture, language, and borders”. I think this sort of project could really bring us together by keeping our attention on our ideals for the future. We could call it futurism!

†My pappy was a fascist if that matters

If it didn’t fuck up the car, that’s pretty neat

Imagine the size of their codebases. Imagine the amount of things that can be added automatically following a flag set by a manual human review or audit. Imagine the canary branches and the internationalization and the regional offers and the legacy contracts. They may be looking at months just to be able to definitively list all the possible ways they may in theory fuck over their customers

The FCC may as well start fining them now

Mouthy AND effective? I maintain a cautious pessimism.

providers must itemize the fees they add to base monthly prices, including fees related to government programs they choose to ‘pass through’ to consumers, such as fees related to universal service or regulatory fees

The amount of times ISPs falsely blame price hikes on regulation and falsely attribute good deals to their own generosity instead of regulatory windwall is wild.

I’ve received skepticism when bringing this up, but American fascism is currently doing a distributed breadth first search to figure out how to best coopt socialist language without calling it socialism and create false consciousness.

James Woods is an actor best known (afaik) for playing Hades in Disney’s Hercules. He’s also a Trump supporter. He recently tweeted that if Elon Musk removes blocking, he will be leaving because it would make Musk’s Twitter just as bad as Jack Dorsey’s, to which Musk replied, “Then delete your account”.

The woman in the cartoon is Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino. Woods also tweeted out a picture of her LinkedIn, which included the fact that she’s previously worked at the World Economic Forum. Trump supporters have opposed the WEF because of some false consciousness about how the WEF is run by liberals and isn’t mask-off enough about supporting the American Empire. Woods captioned the tweet, “Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I wonder how they got to him?”

As far as I can tell, this is the only association between Yaccarino and Woods. So Garrison is saying that Elon has hired her to do the dirty work of silencing conservatives while still publically pretending to be a free speech warrior. So he’s…. kind of right? Just not in the way he thinks. Also, he’s inadvertently positioned cat turds as equivalent to Trump supporters? I don’t know, I don’t go on Twitter.

Also, it sucks to see all the pro-Elon bots here insisting on calling it X. Don’t you know Musk is an authoritarian?
