  • Emotionally estranged offspring of farming folk here: yeah I would not be shocked if some decide to quit while they’re ahead and don’t even bother putting seed in because there are enough cracks in the story to question whether they’ll get their usual bailout in time or with enough cash to make up for shit yields.

    Maybe some small-timers call it quits. Maybe they rent the land to someone else to farm it, maybe for real cheap. Maybe it’s a real great time for some of them there South African immigrants (white farmers) to “pick up the slack” and farm it. And heck, maybe they won’t even need the help of SA “visitors” who have been year for 15+ years already, traversing the countryside custom harvesting. Or maybe they will, and it’ll be one more way for a Big, Beautiful Partnership™ to emerge from this totally unmanufactured crisis!

    But Trump wouldn’t have done (and most definitely isn’t doing) any favors for his frenemy Musk and his poor disparaged countrymen, right?

  • My guess is they don’t want data scientist types to find trends pointing to the possible “moderation” of viral posts of a certain political potency, not to make them more popular, but to suppress or wholly censor something impactful from being spread further. Censorship. I mean censorship.

    It just wouldn’t surprise me if posts that started being shared at an explosive rate for insert highly-affecting thing here were quietly “turned off” for many an audience’s algorithm at some point by meddlesome human hands. The public having this data could reveal that or other types of manipulation when compared to other platforms, in aggregate, etc.

    But idk, not a data doctor



  • Oh thank god someone has had a worse realization than my remembering opening my mom’s “make-up” sponges she kept in her headboard drawer along what I newly realize was probably not lotion AAHHH. (Also, where tf did fancy ass headboards, with built-in drawers and jewelry tray and a big ass mirror, yeah no when did those big honkers disappear?) Out the drawer I grabbed them, opening up the crinkly plump sealed packages aaand playing with them like they were my spongy powderpuffs. Dabbing my face. Probably saying shit like, “mom look!! why do you have so many–”

    Oh god why. Why.

    I was maaaybe 4 or 5 though, weird thing to explain at that age I suppose. Still though. AHHH nonono.





  • I’m really starting to think that naming it TDS was the purest form of projection, in that they (at least the ones not in the “know”) literally don’t recognize in themselves that they are almost objectively more deranged than someone standing their ground against trump and all the people behind/above him in this weird little worldwide pyramid scheme of shit shams and shame.

    Basically, every damn thing is projection.

    Also, at what point is targeted psychological manipulation (including echo chambering, rabbit holing, generally radicalizing) via news, forums, feeds (every kind of social media) from companies fueled by bad actors finally considered a psy-op?

    We all know that some of our previously normal dads and somewhat rational cousins didn’t get sucked into the misdirected hate machine all on their own.

    I look forward to learning the codename someday.
