sometimes wonder about all the people who wrote impassioned paragraphs of internet about email security protocol in 2015 and how they're doing today

Kiefo Nilsson @kiefonilsson.com · 7h

it's quaint in a way that clinton's email server even could be a scandal at all and yet we know that if the next dem candidate so much as had a livejournal they'll be pilloried just the same

just something properly rotten about how 2016 was the email server election and now the guy who was arguably responsible for giving trump the edge has been indicted by trump using unofficial/unsecured private comms to do it.

Just all the shit, ya know?

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

nextdoor brained people all believe their neighborhoods have never been more dangerous even when they're the safest they've ever been, can't underestimate the capacity people have to just believe whatever

it remains stupefying to me that 2024 was the groceries/col election and this is where we're at now without hardly missing a beat, entire media apparatus, techno oligarchy, major corporations all just sliding right into it as if it is the only thing they can see anymore

i wonder the % of maga who live in portland, are going about their day by day, and see firsthand that it's nonsense but are still liable to get riled up about it just the same. it may not be a large % but you know they're out there

i'll never get over how he dictates reality for millions of americans. he just says shit, whatever he wants, and millions of americans will now believe it unflinchingly and uncritically forever, and even if they don't "really" believe it, they're still impelled to troll his reality to everyone

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

What sucks is how somewhere between 50-70 million Americans will never believe spending is up and instead will simply parrot the idea that Musk/Doge "saved trillions"

on the topic of hyper pop music though, i heard that lady gaga/bruno mars song one time(once, 1, a single time) and it is firmly stuck in my head. there really is some alchemy about earworms that superstars understand how to craft

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

easy to be cynical about it all today but twitter genuinely was a special place/moment/thing for a while in a way that maybe can't actually happen again

Between like 2009 and 2015 or so, yes, it was a genuine font of social connectivity, friends and relationships, gigs and stuff that directly translated to real life. Since algo hell took over though, not so much.

But the best things in my life have still tended to happen because i left the house

what gets me is how/why a billionaire musician would want to just keep making the same pop stuff every couple of years, she should be on her third krautjazz fusion record by now not whatever it is she's doing, imo

This has been enjoyable, a bit brainy and high concept but well communicated and straightforward enough plot
