In a letter to the judge, Ellison’s mother, professor Sara Fisher Ellison, wrote that Ellison has completed a romantic novella and is already at work on a follow-up. The finished novella is “set in Edwardian England and loosely based on [Ellison’s] sister Kate’s imagined amorous exploits, to Kate’s great delight,” her mother wrote.

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 you’ll 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

lol YouTube just served me an AI voiced 1:48:28 article solely dedicated to attacking @davidgerard on Wikipedia

EDIT: and:

These were all posted 4 hours ago on a variety of sites so I assume someone has a personal grudge

thankfully gives that one too, i.e.

Now I see a community whose commendable openness to unbiased discussion of any idea is being misused by questionable actors to platform their views.

seems to have been the last straw

(even as you or i might say "my good bitch have you met rationalists")

"pronouns" is a right-wing word meaning "f*ggots"

why don't people who think what we do is terrible and corrupt make us feel better about ourselves? this just shows their bad faith,

if only literally the fucking sidebar of the sub had a link explaining precisely what this was all about

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 21 points 1 year ago

it is indeed a place for rational and reasoned discussion of why the fourteen words are correct, yes.

a perfectly spherical heresy in a vacuum at absolute zero, and also it's racist
