Just another of these internet weirdos you read so much about these days

I’m into #metal, most kinds of it. Also, video games, walking around the city aimlessly, and reading classic literature.

@jeffowski it makes sense, they were Maoists and Maoism is all about building dual power as a revolution strategy. You basically want to start replacing bourgeois state institutions in areas you control.

Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.

Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.

Google Maps, showing the storefront for Golden State Lock as an empty building.

@pluralistic yeah I looked for a laundromat near me once, the closest one Google Maps found was 4km away. Then the next day I’m out for a walk and find one myself not a kilometre from my apartment…

🎯Via Shannon Watts:

Sen. Mitch ’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil.

@GottaLaff those last two things never happened. There was never a fascist US president and there was never any insurrection. Why are you spreading misinformation?

Vice died the way it lived: being suckered in by smarter predators, even as it trained its own predatory instincts on those more credulous than its own supremely gullible leadership. RIP, we hardly knew ye.

Incredible.

A deliberate campaign to create a permission structure to support rightwing extremism for people who don’t want to think of themselves as supporting rightwing extremism - combined with the eternal mainstream media quest to demonstrate “neutrality” and “balance.”

The result is a bizarre monstrosity.
