  • Is the dogwhistle the word “consoom”, I take it? Super curious to hear more. I understand dogwhistles but haven’t heard about this one.

    But I always got weird feelings from the people on the internet spelling ‘consume’ that way. For instance there’s this guy on YouTube called Luke something who makes videos on Linux and some other open source stuff, but began at some point to seem extremely condescending about everything and misanthropic generally really. Then he had a video that showed a house he bought and at some point you could see his tiny little bookshelf and it was just full of right wing garbage, lol. That and he moved to apparently middle of nowhere because that’s what he decided to spend his sweet doge gainz of what looks like maybe $100k max on, lmao. Super weird vibes. Oh and lots of Pepe the frogs, too, IIRC…













  • This kinda made me think. We all know the individual today is ‘atomized’ (alienated and isolated from society - in direct contradiction to the aphorism “no man is an island”).

    But how many jobs I wonder have become ‘gig-afied’ and atomized, too, so that there are now people working multiple jobs that would previously be one single, well-paying job?
