Wanna know what I realized from the courtroom SMS logs of Elon just getting basically anyone he wants to talk to to pick up the phone? Because omg it's Elon Musk he's rich !!

The power move under capitalism for those who can afford it is ignoring billionaires. Especially ones you know are bad faith. In the weeks and months ahead, although this is unlikely, it is possible, that Elon will start trying to talk to people like me.

If Elon himself or someone high in his newly reorganized Twitter wants to talk to me I will ignore him.

By the way, I'm not leaving this app as I stated a few months ago when I predicted that the sale would eventually go through

I actually think that the tsundere thing that Elon did was a massive troll on corporate Twitter and they completely fell for it See because at first they didn't want him to buy, right? Argument was that he might technically have the money to do it but he would destroy the long-term value and so they don't have to accept his offer however high and are still doing right by shareholders

TIFU a ton but learned more networking than in last 5 years lol. My laptop is currently my router that's how badly I fucked up lololol

the hubris of "he's a furry so let me mansplain cross compilation to him as i'm clearly smarter as a based™ huhwite Christian" led directly to this take lolol

A LOOK INSIDE MARK ZUCKERBERG'S BRAIN (LITERALLY)

In attempting to explain the metaverse, non-developers have tied themselves into knots trying to explain (1) why it's so bad (2) why Zuck doesn't care (3) why Zuck is so out of touch.

I believe I have an explanation.

https://twitter.com/fr_brennan/status/1584624147384373248

My explanation will hinge on three core ideas:
(1) Mark Zuckerberg is a micromanager.
(2) Mark Zuckerberg is, indeed, a talented software developer.
(3) Mark Zuckerberg's skills have atrophied and he feels threatened when he can't understand the technical details.

hello

welcome Chloe

i don't take anyone at face value

you are correct that Winter is deeply problematic; so are many people i need to contact to get information in the online hellworld we all inhabit

https://twitter.com/bobposting/status/1567737393611939840

it's been a while since i've needed to get information this far across the aisle but it is far from unprecedented

when Q was in full swing, often anons were the only ones with information that desperately needed to come out to inform the public

At 10PM I had a call that lasted about 20 minutes with Winter (the keffals Discord leaker). One of the things we agreed is that I could record it but not release audio unless he lies about what we discussed. (My usual policy for private audio calls with possibly hostile anons.)

https://twitter.com/fr_brennan/status/1567679534433959937

I am redacting the video part of the call now because the leaker asked me to do so, and I am going to give the leaker reasonable final cut privilege. (I.e. send Winter the final cut before anyone, let them make sure I missed nothing before showing the public).

i don't think what she's doing is as bad as what KF does and i never would've called her KF 2.0

i said her tactics in the leaked DMs are "much like KF's" and "KF-tier"

i even can empathize with why she does them. it can feel good to go lower than ppl who hate u

https://twitter.com/Fractilion/status/1567677208415862785

but it's quite ineffective esp when those who hate u are literally dehumanizing/wishing death upon u

i don't believe in "when they go low, we go high"

but i do know that having text logs or audio out there of you telling someone to commit suicide for any reason looks bad

surprises me too!

i mention it on OHL—it took a while to put together

when @timheidecker first offered, my original reaction was no

even tho @nezumi_ningen was like "wow fred good opportunity" i was like idk and didn't feel comfortable asking her my questions (also we made up)

https://twitter.com/30rackalt/status/1567668374469066752

eventually, @Fractilion, who also saw the tweet

asked when it'd be

and i was like "lol i don't think i'm doing it"

and so then he explained to me why Heidecker has a podcast, that he was mercilessly attacked by channers for dumb fucking reasons, that it's not a sketch show

I need to make #DropKiwiFarms movement aware of sth as I think there is possibly a danger to the reputations of good people who have opposed far-right websites and personalities for years.

@keffals is engaging in tactics much like those of Kiwi Farmers. She is "optics poison".🧵 The above is a message from her to me.

But that's not why I'm posting this.

She got into a slapfight with a Kiwi Farms user and called him a racial slur ("Sanchez"), an ableist slur ("r-tard"), and more.

She bragged to @burnbern8 about telling someone to kill themselves.

are you kidding with this or is being mad over this a real take

"furries don't help mentally ill ppl as much as Salvation Army"

yes?

the Salvation Army is a multinational charity organization that has existed since 19th century

furries have been an organized group since…1990

https://twitter.com/netwyrm/status/1567286844811022336

even if furries had orgnaized online back to 1865

we should not expect furry charity orgs to be more impactful on a per capita basis than the Salvation Army

as being a Christian (and therefore donating to SA, a Christian charity org) is much more common than being a furry

idk if this will help or hurt but it's a fact regardless

i speak japanese (intermediate; know meanings for ≈2k kanji, readings for ≈1k) and in Japan

kemonomimi and kemono are not viewed as separate but on a spectrum

the word for furry in Japanese is kemono (1/?)

https://twitter.com/JulianRiversong/status/1567028903511818240

sorry if u know this stuff i just think it's interesting way to get into it lol

獣耳 (kemonomimi) lit. animal ears
ケモノ(獣) (kemono) lit. animal

basically there's art all along spectrum it's hard to relate Japanese kemono to Western furry i think its why e6 has a kemono tag

lol my stream is so unprofessionally run it's incredible

i forgot to play the outro music even

it's

lmao

thx to everyone who appeared. also it seems like it spread to the right circles this time. other old-school IB users want to come on. i'm very glad

https://twitter.com/fr_brennan/status/1566962645340753925

also the art is by @lilblucat i notice midstream that i forgot the credit so i add it with the text tool in OBS lol

my streams as thrown together as ever

i understand thanks

well

i wouldn't want to work w/someone who doesn't want to improve actual anatomical errors—so it's fine they bailed

i'm really forgiving, had they reacted differntly i woulda been fine posting it b/c i like to not just post an artist once but lots of times

https://twitter.com/essence_seer/status/1566878305051189251

so ppl can see how they progress as well. @maaudaan_tg is rare because he never made an error in a finished piece, but when he started out he didn't get the character as well so made him too tall/heavy lol. but that literally happened once.

lmao idk what it is

i literally read this book as just fun casual reading as a foster care kid

https://twitter.com/essence_seer/status/1566871242560442369

and since then i've branched out to Lauricella

i read these even tho i can't draw and am not trying to learn as i find the subtle differences different body compositions make fascinating

i also want to respond to something in his post

it is not a conspiracy theory against you, Josh Moon, or a surprise to those of us who have functioning brains, why all successful names online are from 10+ years ago

the answer is literally in Das Kapital. ever read it? good book

https://twitter.com/jamz3243/status/1566780074610905088

i'll give u the Fred's Notes

social media is now a consolidated industry. unchecked capitalism tends towards industry consolidation.

CloudFlare is a monopoly. unchecked capitalism tends towards monopoly.

you got fucked by capital here, Mr. Moon

become a fatfur commie i guess

so what's next for the Kiwi Farms in my opinion

VanwaTech is almost certainly out due to the feud Jim Watkins and Josh Moon have (search my old tweets if you care it's petty af)

But even if not out, once the KF starts ruining Jim's QoS, it'll be out (Nicky will pull the plug)

https://twitter.com/NaiaGoesAwoo/status/1566774029620756480

so honestly i see no plausible future

that's fucked but i feel like i know a lot about schizophrenia/schizotypy (at least much more than the average person)

i sent @kunstderfuge1 this book for example. first read 2015, year it came out!

i don't believe Stew is schizotypal, but rather narcissistic

https://twitter.com/hiitslissy/status/1564440436395151360

i believe this because he never seems to have 'episodes'. he never seems to be having a bad day or a good day. he's just… malicious ole Stewy.

my theory about him is he is partially pilled but as an ARG dev is making his own ARG called StewAnon to "fight" Q and "end" the ARG

i haven't posted serious analysis (just memes) about this yet but i think that "suicide trolling" is a really interesting—and troubling—addition to the Stewaverse and its lexicon

i had never heard the term before. do we know who coined it? (1/?)

https://twitter.com/hiitslissy/status/1564435984678273026

i think it can be a smart term but needs to be carefully applied and probably more as a verb than as a noun descriptor.

to imply your opponent is a 'suicide troll' is to basically tell ur followers 'this person doesn't value their life or time at all so y should we'

i find ur tactics quite often harmful but seeing u do a 180° on Kiwi Farms has been beyond based

u used to even stan Metokur to me but admitted he was also conned lol

the whole Kiwiverse is a shitty little world. it didn't used to be like this but there are now 3 tiers of users

https://twitter.com/burnbern8/status/1564396539157614593

u have bakers in the threads, usually highly motivated, highly angry users with good opsec who are so obsessed for their own insane reasons

most of what they find is obviously dumb and they get told so

but sometimes their finds break into tier 2, the sub-influencers
