Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Elon musk voice: 'So euhmmm euuhhh ummm you are ummm euhh saying it has umm some value?'
E: But wait there is more
Tweet from Paul Graham: "Renaming Twitter X doesn't seem to have damaged it. But it doesn't seem to have helped it either. So it was a waste of time and a domain name."
And more
Reply tweet from Elon Musk: "You know nothing"
(And as is tradition when Musk replies to a famous person, the famous person doesn't even react).
The tragedy of being Elon Musk: he has thousands and thousands of cryptocurrency bros and fascists that worship the ground he walks on, but what he really want is for Stephen King to reply to one of his tweets.
Stephen King is busy working him in as a villain in a new novel.
What if a social media site turned evil!
that's his one move
I read Cell so reluctantly
At this point the real plot twist would be if a social media site turned out good.
always wondered about those "Awful Systems" fuckers
I’m gonna change my name to photoselfie and become, allegedly, the fucking worst
