As an avid observer of algorithms I think I’ve figured out part of what happened here.
FB now explicitly looks for and directs posts you’re opposed to into your feed, to rage-bait engagement.
So now my posts are being actively boosted into people’s feeds of who reject climate. Ha! 😄😵💫

In 2018, Meta decided “clean energy” and “climate change” were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them.
I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is 😳

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

In my 20s I took limited-run obscurebaiting techno to be part of some continuum that tests people: backpackers are the ones to pay upwards of $150 on Discogs if they miss out.
Today, 40, seeing a very good album that insists on remaining difficult to get even though a vinyl rip is all over slsk:

My wife went out–looking positively lethal–to a sapphic event where everyone huddled around whatever clique they arrived with for the whole night. Came back with her girls and said “fuck it, let’s drink”

I had some time to myself recently, and a stack of movies to revisit during that. I did none of it, opting instead to touch grass. Why wasn’t I even partway in the mood for films I ostensibly loved?
Days later, my wife put on a Donald Duck xmas cartoon, and I understood: all I want is Looney Tunes

If Liam Neeson is gonna narrate some quack documentary we should pay Jesse Plemons 30 billion dollars to read things for two hours like “the earth is clearly round” “you should eat a healthy diet of a variety of foods and not just wet beef” & “do not suntan your butthole, it does not need that”

Everyone’s trying to clown on the street fighter movie trailer but it looks like it immediately recognizes the dumb fun within and will surprise folks. I will be seeing that shit for free though.

New HEALTH goes 100mph early on, then spins its wheels after a small break. Seems like one of those "you knew this ticket before you bought it" deals.

It’s a weird thing because people also project everything they hate about establishment Dems on the Black electeds as well so they’re always discussed in something like a quantum state.
Notice the framing here chat, remember how the TL pointed out that Black reps often get labeled as “far left and radical” just by VIRTUE of being BLACK—-they’re even calling her a “squad member” now the same “leftists” are turning on her—-stay. Woke.

Met my new supervisor and almost immediately had to admit that I’m not aware of any AI integration project, nor will I help with any such project, then talked shit about AI for the next 45 seconds.

You’re going to tell me that the most technologically agile demographic are going to know about the social media they’re banned from, and somehow not find an “open secret” way to not only crack in but outmaneuver everyone with the same niche subcultures they ALWAYS have??

I am fed up with the simultaneous bouts of arrogance and ineptitude coming from the tech sector, which is full of chronic bullshitters who ragebuild an hierarchy of confused wants, and will turn the world to static for it.

Finally saw the Dragula finale, and: the safe option turned out to be the correct option, weirdly enough. I had my “what if”, I had my “wouldn’t it be amazing”, but really: it was just their time.
