"japan paid for its war crimes by getting nuked" no the fuck they did not, the people who died and suffered from those nukes were innocent civilians and victims of colonization
weird person behavior: repeatedly adding and unadding someone on social media then getting defensive when they’re like why do you keep adding me and unadding me on social media ?
I've had trouble distilling down the single "thing" I'm after. Is it web publishing? Alternatives to social media?
I think it's partly the latter, and I think the model for me is the personal web.
In real terms, personal websites are superior to social profiles for a few reasons:
- They can be more stable and reliable, not subject to feeds, changes in platform policies & design
- They're much more intriguing, artistically, than some cookie-cutter profile on an app/the web
If the web itself is the social network, the website is the atomic element of that network. We just need it to be easy to create a website, and then connect it with others.
The thing that gives me the greatest creative hope on the web in 2022 are small, bespoke, personal websites, their utterly personal and diverse sensibilities, and the sort of glitchiness that comes from cobbling together something technical in order to support the imagination.
I’m losing my fucking mind right now, like I’m sorry but this is genuinely the funniest thing anyone could possibly say in a resignation speech https://t.co/lP3nsmWSex
