Apologies for the posting gap. I had better things to do, none of which were particularly interesting. I've had a new mixtape roughed out for two weeks... maybe tomorrow.

Robot rot (and other confusions). / ♟️ Chess on the internet is mostly like everything else on the internet: predictably awful. ❝Chess' problems aren't unique. But it is uniquely positioned to act as an accelerant for the internet's worst impulses: sexism, abuse, cheating, elitism, and toxic nerdery.❞ / Related: Everybody hates Hans. / Less related: Scrabble, Anonymous. ❝The unwilling, unconscious anagramming of words is the primary side effect of a life devoted to Scrabble. This is ultimately what the game is about: memorizing words with no concern for their meaning.❞ / 🍿 3,000 free movies on YouTube. / Roger Corman's Fantastic Four. / Filmgrab, collected stills from films. / 💻 Dead internet, zombie internet and vampire internet, oh my. / Related: Rotting internet. / Also related: The ruin of DeviantArt. / Google fixed. / The Communal Plot, a daily visualization we all build together. / 🛻 Have you seen a Cybertruck yet? ❝If there is anything to take away from this, it is that I once had an attribute that might have allowed me to make it extremely big in the contemporary automotive industry, which is "acting like a precocious doofus child while saying possibly-false car-related stuff in a way that favorably inclined observers found compelling."
