coining the term 'enshittifishittification' to refer to the phenomenon of the term 'enshittification' being so widely and quickly adopted that you are becoming increasingly tired of seeing it everywhere online

what about this: Supertramp's "Dreamer" but instead it's "Streamer" to indicate that the person is a content creator. a seamless modern update? much to think about

everyday life in 2024 is looking out the window and seeing that something is happening, then turning on the news and being told that not only is the thing not happening, but if you think it is happening you are a piece of shit. a few minutes later a company bills you for $400

"Technology provides the capacity to improve our standard of living. But whether such benefits occur depends upon how it's used ...and for whom. Technology should be used to make our work easier and more rewarding not simply as a way of increasing productivity and reducing job satisfaction".

TV COMEDY WRITER: I should write a joke about how ska music is embarassing and cringey

Ska fucken rules tbqh. If you reflexively think ska is embarassing and cringey please step away and engage in a period of thoughtful self reflection

If I was the Australian Government I would simply abrogate myself of any responsibility for media regulation of any kind and repeatedly de-fund every public broadcaster I could get my hands on. Then I would complain when the private sector decided it was not profitable to provide news to my citizens! Truly this is a project that I, a collection of the smartest idealogues alive and an exclusive group of Society's Betters, would embark upon.

the tumblr CEO losing his mind over Operation Car Hammer Explosion has reminded me of the time on Twitter that I said "Oh, fuck offff" to famous fantasy author RA Salvatore and he was so offended that he sent a DM to the other person in the conversation to check if my account had been hacked because there was no other reason for using such language

while I maintain that Silicon Valley CEOs simply do not know how to deal with anyone not immediately genuflecting to them for their role in saving humanity I think a large element of it is also that Americans do not know what to do if someone swears at them

Tumblr's moderators falsely flagged a trans woman's completely clothed and non-sexual pre- and post-transition photos as 'explicit content' and refused to rescind the ban, so she posted that she hopes the CEO "dies a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes multiple times and the hammers go everywhere". The CEO of Tumblr is currently having a very public and extended meltdown about this, and is claiming that the Wile E. Coyote ass scenario of CEO Car Hammer Explosion was a "credible death threat" which required the intervention of the FBI and has banned the woman in question. He has spent the last few hours being Definitely Not Mad Online in all of the comments and replies. Truly incredible next levels of Silicon Valley Bro brain

I just read something from a former employee that apparently he's meant to be on sabbatical right now as well which means a bunch of poor saps are going to wake up tomorrow morning to the world's biggest dumpster fire in their inboxes as they trudge out to clean up the CEO's mess

I haven't seen a public meltdown from a Silicon Valley Bro like this in honestly such a long time. He must have fired his PR handlers or is just letting their frantic calls go to voicemail

@burgerdrome@aus.social avatar

@RodneyPetersonTalent the CEO's meltdown is happening on his blog https://www.tumblr.com/photomatt as of about 8 hours ago but the now-deleted "offensive content" exists only as screenshots

burgerdrome,
@burgerdrome@aus.social avatar

Just catching up this morning that he spent a bunch of time DMing trans women who left comments on his various meltdown posts to continue arguments with them. Silicon Valley CEOs simply cannot stand to be thought of as incompetent or bad in any way, it destroys them as people

ah... just finished creating an economic system which incentivises people to behave in selfish and exploitative ways. now to take a big sip of coffee and wonder why things aren't improving

ME: I think I might become one of those grim, taciturn old men who speak only in foreboding, ominous sentences

MY WIFE: I do not want this. I cannot stress enough that I will divorce you if you do this

ME: Hm. So it begins
