Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/09/2026and like, discussing the death of the monoculture and how culture has been siloed has been done to death. it isn't all too interesting unless you're bringing something new to the table. easier to get people talking about a piece with a much more combative take. 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/09/2026yeah, i read the whole thing and it brings all this stuff up to basically just dismiss it to discuss the reasons she wanted to discuss, not actually analyze it seriously. 141
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 17/09/2026it feels like they're both getting what they wanted here. he gets attention for being purposefully inflammatory and gets to yell about people not defending him. Axios also gets attention and gets to help stick it to the Dems by keeping this whole stupid news cycle alive for another week. 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 08/09/2026yeah like... Hunter not being a good person is a totally fine and normal opinion to have, but the way he is expressing it makes it clear that Weigel is also not a good person. 1141
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 07/09/2026video is the area where I think people are most delusional about capability of the tech in contrast to what we actually see. There's been improvements fidelity-wise, but the overall product is still pretty poor. Like there is a market share that would eat it up, but it isn't replacing Hollywood lol 021
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 07/09/2026this reminded me of Freedom Fuel, which initially seemed like it could be some form of this, but then just turned out to be some scammy business dudes getting presidential promotion for massaging his ego. and now it turns out they just may not have even been paying for all their fuel lol. 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I think it's is going to be so interesting seeing Fielder on the other side of the dynamic. he's normally the one playing an exaggerated version of himself, now he'll be head to head w/ an inveterate liar and trying to navigate what's actually true. 0191
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 07/09/2026never has social media ruined the idea of a content creator being intelligent and thoughtful quicker for me than skull man though. 020
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 05/09/2026i've known of a handful that don't use it, but this is pretty broadly true! you can just buy 50 lb bags of Pillsbury cake mix from a food service supplier. 070
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 05/09/2026yes, that seems far more likely. going slightly deeper, i found pictures that show the sticker when he arrived at this exact same airport in July and they seem to be consistent. 000
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 05/09/2026this feels like a wild conclusion to jump to. the shadow also isn't incorrect, there was another person there. 100
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 05/09/2026If it's worse than what was in the WSJ article, then I think it's actually a dishonorable decision to wait another week+ to drop the info that you have if it's stuff you can verify. 0521
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 05/09/2026so much fucking navel-gazing and worrying about stuff like this rather and What It Says than actually talking about the words the guy actually spoke. 2222

Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 03/09/2026when i worked at Amazon, my desk was by some of the Executive Response team for my department. the shift when a Bezos email came in was crazy to witness and I'd imagine AWS going down is orders of magnitude more intense. 050
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 02/09/2026jesus fucking *christ*, i'm so sick of this whole paradox of tolerance shit these people try to pull. yes, i think it's correct to think this guy is evil and I think people that agree with him should be ostracized! 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I have spent time with toddlers and that's why I'm questioning the distance between them when crossing a street with traffic on it. seems unsafe for a toddler! i think even in that scenario, it'd still be hard for him to judge if the car stopped because of him or not. 020
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 02/09/2026frankly, I feel like this story is exaggerating things so people don't question why his two year old was walking that far ahead of him alone across the street. 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 02/09/2026translation: "this hurts Republicans, so shut up about it" 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 01/09/2026i ended up just walking around the stadium part of the second half and watched the last quarter at one of the standing room areas on the concourse and that part was better, but i got the experience, i'm good. 110
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 01/09/2026i finally went to my first NFL game a couple years ago and I enjoyed it enough (granted i ate an inadvisable amount of edibles that day), but also I'd be fine never paying $100 to sit in the upper deck again. 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 01/09/2026the ref and bench are issues, yeah. I think at least the ref should be reacting better to the action in front of them Idk that it's that we don't have the tech or if it's just not wasting processing on things you're not zoned in on while playing because the on-court stuff is noticeably better 000
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 01/09/2026honestly, the biggest difference I've seen w/ DLSS5 is more during gameplay with reflections. I checked out the original leak and was kind of stunned how outside of some animations and crowd stuff, it just came off like a TV broadcast. At a glance, it's hard to tell! 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 31/08/2026also getting some Calypso from Twisted Metal out of this 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 31/08/2026even if they're not getting paid, some people just will spew shit like this because they want to get other people angry. and none of this is new, but it just feels like that's the dominant way things happen online now. sincerity and caring about the things you say is cringe. 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 31/08/2026it honestly just makes me so tired. so many hot take merchants (especially on X/FB) are incentivized to say the stupidest shit possible because engagement gets them paid. and that perverse incentive can lead to people unironically believing those things. 110
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 31/08/2026it was Jorbs, who I'm honestly only slightly familiar with because he's collabed with some other people in that space. 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 31/08/2026honestly think my limit just got hit after I saw a fucking slay the spire streamer decide they needed to take this challenge, time to go watch Lanterns I guess lol 150
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 29/08/2026like i know the All-In guys are hacks, but never has it been more apparent than by putting Nick Shirley, Martin Shkreli and Jake Paul on this 000
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 29/08/2026absolute fucking nightmare of a blunt rotation 100

Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 29/08/2026yeah, it's been driving me crazy that people don't understand that Rogan already had a very large audience for other reasons and that's why he was convincing to a lot of people when he got overtly political i'd even agree he was implicitly political before, that just wasn't the public perception 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Rogan worked because people knew him as the UFC/Fear Factor guy that smoked weed and had sometimes interesting guests on his podcast. his political pivot came later much after that was established. you cannot be the "left Joe Rogan" if your content is only politics and was from the jump. 120
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026the best/worst part of only owning a PC for gaming is that i don't really even have to concern myself with playing it until like a year or so from now 050
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026sure, but not every offensive statement is made by someone that Fox and the RW media are actively trying to paint as the face of the party. and i think we'd agree that it's bullshit that so much attention is being paid to this over actual R staffers being Nazis. we're not in a fair environment. 130
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026so at that point, do we ask people bothered to just not say anything because he's further left? i think that's absurd, to be frank. he's essentially a pundit that is actively involved in campaigns. like i'd really actually prefer if everyone just said "he's a streamer, who gives a shit", but... 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026like, Dems aren't the only actor here. and i do think it sucks they were put on the back foot of either having to defend the guy, ignore him or condemn him. all three choices have drawbacks. and i think people are sincerely bothered by what he said and don't want to have him hung around their neck 210
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don't really buy the punching left argument here because it's not like this is happening for being too pro-M4A or something. he said some dumb shit that people found offensive. his salience is also already being raised because Fox is trying to make him an avatar of the party as a whole. 240
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026i just don't see how it'd depress both progressives *and* moderates. 100
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I personally have an issue with Gottheimer elevating it to a possible HR w/ Lawler b/c that's stupid as hell, but I don't really have a problem with Reps/Senators saying he doesn't speak for them or condemning the recent stuff he said. if it drags on, then i could agree there's a problem 141
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026so it's a pointless gesture that is somehow important enough to risk the midterms by doing it? lmao. 191
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026lmao i made this yesterday and sent it to a friend after seeing this 090
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 27/08/2026despairing just a bit over the person who tried telling you to go back to Twitter and that the disinformation is worse there. Which like sure, but that isn't a defense in spreading disinformation on this site! 010
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 25/08/2026the tipping point for me was when I initally saw people go past clanker and say shit like wireback or other variations on ethnic slurs. like, whatever, the computer doesn't have feelings, but the zeal people displayed that they could say something akin to a racial slur felt really fucking bad! 161
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 25/08/2026and the thing is, Hasan has been doing media stuff for well over a decade at this point. he's still stepping in shit that he doesn't need to and it could be avoided. you start to lose the benefit of the doubt from people if it keeps happening. 1101
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 25/08/2026i think at a certain point if you want to be treated as a serious force within politics, you need to actually learn to articulate your points better. the 9/11 thing is a good example, it sounds better when you articulate the point, but everyone is just going to remember the inflammatory part. 280
Ghostless @almostghostless.bsky.social · 25/08/2026although I think the Cabela's was more fascinating for them considering their big ass taxidermy mountain and the aquariums. 110
