2. following on from 1, it’s kind of funny that the EAs, who you could pattern match to a “high school nerd” stereotype, are intellectually beaten out by an analog of the “jock” stereotype of sports fans: fantasy league participants who understand the concept of “intangibles” that EAs apparently cannot grasp.

On a wider note, it feels the "geek/nerd" moniker's lost a whole lot of cultural cachet since its peak in the mid-'10s. It is a topic Sarah Z has touched on, but I could probably make a full goodpost about it.

This hits a lot worse after JD Vance became Vice-Pres Elect

Happy cake day, Charlie!

They're too stupid to understand anything beyond "the code", its unsurprising they're treating it as a technological hammer in a world of nails

Got an extended edit of 'meet the grahams' that hits even damn harder than the original

Granted, this was back when Musk's public perception was at its most positive - it would take until the Thai cave diver incident in July 2018 before we saw the first hole being blown in Musk's "IRL Tony Stark" image.

Somewhat fittingly, that incident played out on Twitter, whose acquisition by Musk has done plenty to showcase his true colours.

Just say he's yapping, because that's all this dipshit's doing

"Not Like Us" was less scathing than this. Fucking hell.

I need context.

After the general shitshow regarding Hard Drive back in November, I'm not shocked they missed this hard.

Even if one had the means necessary to carry out a bioterrorist attack, simply bombing a place is much easier, faster and safer.
