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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
OK. So, this next thing is pretty much completely out of the sneerosphere, but it pattern matches to what weāre used to looking at: a self-styled āscience communicatorā mansplaining a topic they only have a reductive understanding of: Hank Green gets called out for bad knitting video

TIL Hank Green, the milquetoast BlueSky poster, also has some YouTube channel. How quaint.
I think every time I learn That Guy From BlueSky also has some other gig different from posting silly memes I lose some respect for them.
E.g. I thought Mark Cuban was just a dumb libertarian shitposter, but then it turned out he has a cuntillion dollars and also participated in a show unironically called āShark Tankā that I still donāt 100% believe was a real thing because by god
I figured heād be a lot better known for his YouTube career than for his bsky posting. I see his stuff all the time in my recommendations, though his style isnāt my cup of tea so I seldom watch any of them.
I havenāt seen the YouTube recommendation page in so long I wouldnāt know. Invidious my beloved <3

Whatās up with all the websites that tell me āyouāve reached the limit of free articles for the monthā even though Iāve literally never entered that site before in my life. Stop gaslighting me you cunts.
Anyway, hereās the archive
The limit is zero, thatās all.

I mean if it gets too hot he could try the traditional fiber arts dodge for internet hate and fake his own death.
