@adenng.com's first video on AltNPS was an exhaustively researched dive into the topic, and this is a great follow-up that I think hits on some really important aspects of this strange, fascinating, infuriating subject.

PLEASE watch the video for yourself, but I want to highlight a few things🧵:
Part 2 of my deep dive into AltNPS. We look at the phenomena and full shady history of AltNPS accounts as a whole, some of the more problematic fallout of unchecked idolatry, and the dangers of misinformation in fandoms. And maybe finally answer, "Who is AltNPS?" (Credit in 🧵)

Taking a 10mg edible and putting on loop #1&2 is a cool experience if u want to have your soul leave your body and experience purgatory for an hour that feels simultaneously like a week and 10 seconds

"When he glanced at the tape, he saw the iron oxide flaking off, that he was catalyzing the very process he hoped to pre-empt. He let it happen for nearly an hour, then repeated the process with five more loops."

Some of the most alarmist takes on Rad's limited battery recall are coming from pedalers who have never liked that Rad (or anyone) sells bikes with throttles. They would rather see 1% of the population pedaling than 100% of the population using throttle-powered bikes to get where they want to go.

Jamelle is 100% wrong about Rogue One but the reaction he's getting over it is absolutely worth overlooking said bad opinion about a silly kid's movie franchise
no the new york times does not make money off of my once-a-year post about rogue one
The whole business model is just rage bait at this point. Just don’t engage with these people.

If Trump makes this happen, it will all be worth it
“Trump appears to want to revive the raucous comedies and action movies of the late 1980s to late 1990s. He’s passionate, for instance, about the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme sports flick Bloodsport.”
A person directly familiar with the conversations tells Semafor that Donald Trump has personally pressed Larry Ellison to revive Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

'Death Of The Author' isn't "i will pretend the author is dead so i can enjoy this slop"

That framing is to grapple with works that had ambiguous meaning or provide value as products of their time. Joanne has made sure to clarify that she's exactly the bigot who wrote the problematic content in HP
Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear

"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

Amazon retail margins are slim and they fully understand this will lead to unprecedented return rates. That's the reason
Amazon has ordered Perplexity to halt its AI shopping agent, which was making unauthorized purchases on the Amazon platform.

Perplexity's agent allowed users to request purchases, such as "buy the best noise-canceling headphones," and then researched and purchased items on Amazon.
