Well, no. I’m more a Dork Web (federated) kind of guy than a Dark Web (holy shit this will get me put in jail) kind of guy.

I’m genuinely puzzled that this is a thing. Some people enjoy sadism, but this is a very specific flavor, one that would be kind of difficult and expensive to maintain. Hey, let’s go get a monkey to torture. Who says that? Who wants that?

Global monkey torture network! Try saying that five times fast!

Also, I’m a little surprised that monkey torture is popular enough to have its own network of fans. Where are they gonna hold Global Monkey Torturecon?

Who ever thought a Confederate would be capable of such cruelty? No, sorry, couldn’t keep a straight face through that one.

This dude gives me the same vibes as Mojo Jojo in that episode of The Powerpuff Girls, where he’s protected by a bunch of dumb hippies.

“Not so fast, Mojo Jojo!”
“Help, I’m being oppressed!”
“Not so fast, Powerpuff Girls!”

But they can’t sell you more shit if they didn’t have planned obsolescence baked in!
(It’s a little sobering realizing that technology is old enough to be, you know, OLD. Nothing about this is novel to anybody anymore. We’re way, way past being impressed by two lines batting a dot around.)

Not so smart to buy, it would seem!

Sure blew up Dr. Oz’s political career.

“Gemini, set an alert for when Google dumps you and goes back to the assistant.”

Is this gonna be one of those tech bandwagon things that Google fails at so consistently? You know, like Google phones, Google Plus, Google Pay, Google Stadia, Google Your Poodle, etc.

Anti-vaxxers, of course. Everyone thank the anti-vaxxers with both middle fingers!

The biggest challenge of the interview was the translator trying to understand what Tucker Carlson was saying with his mouth full.

Well, better DO something about it then!

Amazon’s no longer any good at shipping, and Google’s no longer any good at searching. What a terrible year to be a tech nerd.

God made herpes, and I don’t want that, either.

“If you only knew how tired I was of you calling me that!”

Sorry, been watching too much BTAS again.

Belarus! The country whose existence you only know about from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?!

Have less babies, have more babies! Geez, China, make up your minds!

SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ELON MUSK. END STATEMENT.

You know who throws away computers? WASTEFUL people. There’s always a use for older, “obsolete” technology. Today’s tablet could become tomorrow’s clock or picture frame. Today’s computer could become tomorrow’s server or game system or video player. You just have to have a little creativity and some knowledge of tech.

There are too many of these goddamned social networks anyway. After Twitter/X exploded, everyone else wanted to grab a piece of that pie, and now we’ve got a dozen social networks nobody uses.

If you want a progressive social network that doesn’t take shit from goosesteppers, Cohost is probably the place to go. It’s so neurodivergent and trans-friendly that I can’t imagine them blithely accepting Nazi content. It’s just not how Cohost works. “Blah blah blah, free speech!” Not here, chumps. We’ve got standards. Go somewhere else to push that poison.
