did everyone hear about kontextmaschine? I'm feeling really fucked up about him- like, I couldn't say I liked him, he was a tremendous fount of borderline unacceptable misinformation, motherfucker was found because he was active in the specific bigoted rationalist circles that mean 'r/SlateStarCodex is actively spearheading the effort to locate you and make sure you're alive', something is very wrong in your life if that's how it goes, but also, nobody would be surprised by the statement 'something is very wrong in this guy's life'
and so: we never really interacted, but he was a defining crank of the website, and I don't think he was ever as racist and inappropriate as say Human Pet Guy. I might have missed something. but I saw him as so much a creature of an older internet- a classic SomethingAwful or hacker forum guy, but at home here on this now also antiquated ecosystem, with more weird intimacy. so I had a pleasure in his weirdness in small doses, despite being frequently annoyed and alarmed when I scrolled back more than a few posts.
and the intimation- highlighted by the person who informed me on Other Site, who was like, 'fuck the medical system making every chronically ill person a biohacker'- that he may have been taken out by either an extremely stupid supplement regime to combat Long COVID or COVID itself- he said he was on infection number 11, who fucking knows how he got that number, but- is so fucking depressing
and it's also chiming real bad with my current headspace? I want people to not be like, so, this weird poster has been silent a while, anyone know he's okay? he, uhhh.... Japanese major? liked pinball and Taylor Swift? had a really shitty house he was working on and a cat? any bells?
that fucking depressed me no end- I know Legendary Internet Guy is not an identifier that is easy to triangulate to, have I met this fucker and do I know where he lives, but. jesus. I also have ambitions beyond posting- like, a big Internet footprint is not aspirational to me, though I think it's certainly a kind of accomplishment if you're on his level- but also I would like a nicer litany of biographical details to aid people in finding my rotting corpse, which, I think I am bleakly resigned to that as a possibility, but at least *people should have occasion to say nice things about me and paint a nicer picture of my life*
ugh. not to make it about me here? I just, I don't know what the fucker deserved but I think safely I can assert, not that. at minimum a more functional response to getting his brain and body broken open by COVID than, supplements and hardcore WL/exercise regime based on landscaping.
FLAPPER FANNY SAYS, by Anericn cartoonist, Ethel Hays (1892-1989).
I do not understand why Flapper Fanny has turned into a Lovecraftian Elder God in the Sugar Daddy cartoon.
god forbid a woman do anything
The little directional nose and skinny legs get me. What a horrifying little charmer. I like him well.
Waow taht is a creachur
that is one of the most animals
well that certainly is a Thing
Well, It's That
If I saw one of these in a sci-fi or fantasy movie I would just accept them as a made up part of the fantasy without question. The possibility of them being a real thing would never even enter my head
good news! it's real and it's a black and rufous elephant shrew and it's god's gift to your dashboard
More closely related to elephants than to shrews IIRC!
for any mobile only users. here is the clown.
The what
I love opening up this website first thing like the morning paper and immediately seeing multiple posts like "how to get rid of the evil clown on the dashboard". like oh is this what we're doing today
I'm gonna start adding this to every post I see about this advertising bs that tumblr are pulling
not only is it annoying, and in some countries probably illegal for not declaring a paid partnership
TUMBLR IS CROSSING THE PICKET LINE
They are taking money from Netflix to promote a show.
Actors and writers are unable to promote work because of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Netflix is under the AMPTP, so it is a struck company, making One Piece a struck work.
So they are using alternate ways of promoting their products, including paying companies like tumblr.
Both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have made statements saying that they consider anyone or company taking payment to promote struck work as crossing the picket line.
Tumblr is spitting in the face of struggling actors and writers to make a quick buck from Netflix
happy to announce that my latest bout of dreaming about tumblr induced in me the conviction that tumblr had just instituted a "pet" button that appeared below all pictures of an animal so that tumblr users could pet the animal. the most notable use of this was a post with a picture of a porcupine that had a thread of users below it saying 'ouch'
I didn't stretch and Yakko Warner personally beat me with a sack full of hammers

horse in its stall reaching its head around the door to attempt to grasp a nearby apple in its mouth one can see from the crazed look in its eyes that this horse has a hankering for some apples and who is to blame it in its pursuit of a delicious treat
