I think the Internet still has lots of promise. We just did a capitalism on it. If we can get the cancer out it’ll be an amazing thing again.

But I do think some of that early promise was overestimated because mostly smart people were on it then. We thought it was the medium, but it was just techies or people with hobbies or interest that made it that special place, now that your average Joe is there it’s mostly shit, but go somewhere with a little barrier to entry (like Lemmy) and it is pretty cool again.

This is why I left. I saw post about people being banned from communities for things like that, or saying eat the rich, iD’ing Nazis, calling Palestine a genocide and calling for action. It was clear they had fascist corporate donors to appease and had chosen sides.

PBF is one of the funniest strips on the Internet for like 20 years straight.

We are going to build a new prison though, and that will fix it you’ll see…

100% of all lesbians accused of space crime have been exonerated.

He also said he’d have people on mars by 2024…

Bad, bad. They just said something come from it. Not something good.

Well maybe something will come from it, it might inspire laws that make it harder to sue pharma.

Probably toilet water if they don’t keep it closed.

If AI is so smart, why don’t we just ask it to fix the power grid crisis?

Netflix had a few really good ones that showed how the cops lied or bungled things.

I know it’s just how the courts work but how can it be the people vs him when the people seem to support him. The state vs maybe.
