i feel so gross after having to deal with that. i wish i could explain how much i suffered to do that magazine, you people have literally no idea, what i went thru, the heat i took that didn't fall on any of you, the sabotage, the stalkers, the relentless abuse it was absolutely sickening, and i worked SO HARD for YOU people, because i wanted the industry to be better even if it ruined my life. i wouldnt even wash my face in your blood

lmfao my heroku app for model view , the stack got deprecated, i thought i had this updated, i didn't, i don't really remember how to do much of this stuff, i hate thisssssss i need to keep the site up and i link to it semi-regularly so mainly for personal use frankly, but looking at it for long periods of time and having to do any work for it makes me feel sick and tactially miserable

one idea: we take as hostages the maintainers of the top 50 oss projects on github. we will feed them pizza and beer and they can produce software bugs for distribution, basically their natural environment but with a to the head these people will HATE being hostages let me tell you they will tap tap tap their way to freedom

This is from a "2023 top 5 tech predictions" out of Amazon, from its LONG TERM CTO, brilliant man, loves WoW, terrible person obviously.

They are automating all of you away. Unionizing won't stop this. This is rolling out *next year*.

They specifically say that these technologies don't require "mandated breaks", like human laborers do.

They fucking hate all of you okay. Please understand that tech fascists are at war with America. they will break the supply chain so you STARVE before giving any worker rights

30+ twitter: what brand of cigarettes did you used to smoke?

i started on marlboro light 100s, got my HS off Marlboro reds, i didn't fuck with camel back then, i went through a ironic Virginia Slims phase, then parliments, which are pretty badass actually, has a cleanness i did camel turkish royal for quite awhile, a pretty girl i hung out with smoked those, that is actually the origin of most of my cigarette choices, come to think of it. on the whole the camels were the best i ever smoked. i hated american spirits

this was my lawyer for awhile. they absolutely kick ass.

cooley is like the black card, white glove premier cut-throat ass shit, what they must know....

oh boy.

that place is an absolute trove of silicon valley secrets

ongoing ops:
- tech employees trying to convince you they are oppressed members of the working class
- elon kicking up tons of dust to distract you from what is actually happening at Twtter, which is election engineering
- "twitter is going to go away" - the turning of FTX scenario, a tiny part of the crypto ecosystem that was a very small bet for its investors relative to wealth, into some indication the crypto market is fundamentally a joke, right as tech prepares a full integration of bitcoin into the consumer infrastructure

haha thank you! i like to chat with people in DMs but i'm very much not dating right now and my requirements aren't "standards" but they are firm, i only want a partner who wants to spend the rest of their life trying to overthrow this bullshit and potentially die for it anything else would be an ethical failing i could not overlook. someday, but i think it will be a long time from now.

lord. well i like reality tv because its fun to watch beautiful women doing fun things and wearing great outfits and looking amazing. i do NOT consider my twitter account my personal reality show?? this is not a show this is an analysis. i don't deliberate my tweets at all. twitter for me is, absolutely a running notebook, it is more than anything, an archive, as well as a way for me to explore my ideas. and as batting practice.

this is not a persona. a persona of what, someone tweeting about VCs? grow up. i am what i appear.

i've done huge amounts of work on my brain, after how long my brain was absent in any cohesive sense and the brain damage from long-term untreated mania and psychosis, its so niceeee to every few weeks still feel like, damn, i'm getting it back so my cognitive skills really started to decline in 2016, to the point where i couldn't maintain the magazine (that no one wanted anyway, but will now cry that the things it was for haven't materialized), and i got treated in 2020 for the first time, begining a rehab phase

he shrugs if off because this is literally in no way a significant loss to Blackrock.

$25 million is literally, literally, .023% of BlackRock's worth.

If you made 100,000 a year, the comparable loss is $23. These are major financial institutions, they win, they lose

https://twitter.com/AutismCapital/status/1598030440639537153

furthermore, Blackrock has made HUGE investments, along with other major instiutional investors, in Bitcoin as prices have gotten incredibly low and they are assured of a fantastic return despite waiting til this late date to throw down, a generous offer from VCs

its hilarious that software engineers pretend that this isn't extremely standard security practice at almost every single tech company, just to get sympathy and try to convince the mainstream they are victims. The fact they are calling these people "survivors" is terrifying.

this is literally how we lay people off around here. you didn't say shit until the exact moment it affects personally you. fuck out of here. you people are engineers you know what the fuck it is

here is something i found that i like
i am not an anarchism and have a few points of divergence, but on many points agree

and found this to be comforting that there were, at one point in time, people who knew what was going on and what needed done

marxists.org/subject/anarch… some points of interest

lots of revisionism.

Twitter was a haven for Nazi organization for literally years, they conducted hundreds, thousands of terrorist attacks on private persons, particularly in the critical years of '14-'15 in terms of leftist, feminist, revolutionary and/or Black activism. Tech has ALWAYS platformed Nazis. We saw some reprieve in certain more recent years but there is also no cause to definitively conclude this was solely from moderation strategies. Even if it was, Twitter's support of fascists was a source of MASSIVE suppression.

literally false, all writing builds your practice even if you don't finish it , many people build up to finishing things over years

https://twitter.com/straczynski/status/1597035617862701058

learning is not something that is "unlocked" magically when you write "the end". suggesting that unfinished work has no value makes not finishing needlessly punishing. the only important thing is to keep writing.

more in "online harassment" is funded and supported by VCs:

2014 was one of the most active years in the history of tech feminism, this was the start of a whole new world of harassment; GamerGate started in August 2014; Thiel, a16z and Sam Altman invested just a few months later huge attacks had been originating in and launching off Reddit for many years; what a weapon!

PayPal mafia and a16z tied to organized fascist terrorism again and again. Altman ran HN, a VC hate site. Weird!

Now they got Twitter! Weird!

i think i'm almost done clearing up my life from all the toxic influences, people who treated me badly, people who were not there for me, etc. i cut off at least 4 people I've known for 8 years +. i cut off every single casual friend. three serious partners that were lost you don't arrive at a place of 5 years of VERY serious illness (landing me in jails, ERs, kicked out of every housing situation i could establish), without there being serious problems in the way your life was set up. my main problem is that i always gave and never recieved

overall i've been much less sad but still a few times its heartbreak, like i'm about to faint from how sad i am just from the shock of perceiving its shape. i've just been through too much honestly i need a break from just getting my life destroyed but its going to happen again these political developments are very scary for me personally. milo attacked me so viciously, for so long, obsessively, i spotted him early, before all of this when he was writing anti-gay op-eds for the catholic harold

it is the time of year where we can observe the straight mating rituals!

in the outdoors, in order to participate, it seems a man must have at least one dog. somehow this is table stakes. perhaps it communicates "i can keep something alive". or "i am capable of loving something" they see each other from the other side of the street. for a queer, this would be a wrap, but they are just beginning an inscrutable dance.

approaching, they slow slightly. the man inclines his head ever so subtly to the dog, as if to say "i hope you find my dog acceptable"

also we are all now typing like buzzfeed reporters, specifically. also an a16z investment.

marc HATES dissent very much. buzzfeed started out as a tool for surveilling social justice movements. they wanted to figure out how to manufacture virality. which they did

https://twitter.com/shanley/status/1542169364689977345

there's much i don't understand about language viruses.

but i DO know that Buzzfeed created one after YEARS of experimentation and study of users and user data. this whole new.... linguistic container emerged. it EXTRACTS the desired behavior with cognitive blunt force .

do you know how many people that i am WAY smarter than called me stupid in the past 5-6 years? wow.

that was tough for me. i was genuinely confused because i am a lot of things but stupid is not one. which everyone knew. the whole thing was a sick game.

but its over now if anyone would like to call me stupid now, go right ahead. i cannot wait to absolutely burn to the ground the entire life of the first person who tries.

none of these cowards would fight me if i wasn't literally dying of psychosis in an ER somewhere.

literally.
literally.
