it looks like an excerpt from a lovecraft story.

[Draignean]

It's actually Arthur Conan Doyle, thought it might as well be Lovecraft considering the singular mixture of racism and eldritch worship infused in that story.

It turns out that, until at least 1966, the US Air Force dress uniform included a formal cape (for officers only).

Woke up with my heart beating like a drum machine, went to toilet and unleashed a liter of piss from my wiener into the toilet. Then after the breakfast, I have anxiety over literally nothing. Not a good start for the morning.

Because you liked a short compilation of Simpsons clips, you must surely love "Leftists Eat Themselves as One of their Own Resigns".

I don't see how funny Simpsons moments naturally leads into alt-right buggery but apparently YouTube's algorithm sees a connection.

[Yoink]

I guess it's because lefties find just about all comedy offensive, thus anyone who views and enjoys jokes or other humour-related content is probably a nazi.

More seriously, every Youtube video leads to alt-right bullshit. The bullshitters have almost certainly figured out how to game the YT algorithms.

nice work buying into the propaganda, friend

The dark side of youtube is a growing zone of ever expanding entropy.

EVERYTHING eventually falls in.

RE: Leftists find everything offensive

No, there is a very vocal portion of the leftist demographic that has fallen hook, line and sinker for identity politics.  This group of individuals define themselves by an external criteria (and the spectrum of what that external criteria constitutes is enormously vast), and so any joke that might poke fun at that criteria is bound to offend one of them, and because they are so very vocal, it makes things go bad quickly.

The solution is for the MSM to stop feeding the trolls.  They never will of course.

[Frumple]

In contrast, of course, to a huge swath of the right wing demographic that's fallen at least as hard, haha. Current difference probably being that lot relatively actively murdering people and going out of their way to encourage it with "jokes".

_{... nazi and nazi-adjacent jokes have seemed to be getting less and less funny, to whatever extent they were to begin with, the further out we get from living memory of those jokes' punchline, really. Plenty of funny shit out there without needing to contribute towards memeing up a(nother) fifty body funeral or whatev'.}

Though yeah, deplatforming extremists would probably help out, to some degree. I'd expect the fourth estate to get on that right about time the media directed stochastic terrorism efforts start building a regular body count... maybe. Chances probably higher if it's folks like murdoch that starts eating bullets as opposed to children or reporters.

MSM lives off drama.  Drama sells eyeballs, and eyeballs sell advert time.

The MSM is made up of businesses first and foremost. This is why "Dog bites man" is not a story, but "Man bites dog" is. People find the latter novel, and interesting-- and thus expend their attention budget there.

"Angry people on internet cannot take joke, call everyone misogynists, including women." sells.

"No, really, the angry people on the internet are just a loud minority" does not.


The MSM will stop platforming extremists and morons when it becomes state sponsored.  When that happens, journalistic integrity will evaporate however.

the best we can hope for, probably, is some kind of revision to the "equal time!!" rule, and replace it with a "proportional representation with reality" rule.

So, there's a rental real estate agency that has some seemingly decent and very inexpensive properties around here. But it's a corporate agency, and they've got all sorts of fancy window dressings on the contracting and stuff, so I'm not sure how much they're actively trying to screw over their customers.

Unfortunately the name of this agency is literally just "Rental Housing", meaning that any Google search to try and find customer feedback or discussions about said company are completely and utterly fucked. You're either given links to the company website itself (which does not appear to have a forum), or you find threads and articles related to the general concept of rentals... Not that specific company.
