I can’t stand performative mourning for objectivity awful people.

Just say nothing.

You don’t need to pretend to care about someone who directly contributed to the suffering of millions of others.

I swear if it happened today half of you would cry over the death of Stalin.

I have never heard the term "web 3" used in any context other than trying to sell some cryptocurrency, to the point where I cannot take it seriously at all.

Hey mastodon i need help IDing a movie and I only have a few scant childhood memories of some weird details.

I'm pretty sure it was a TV movie but it could have just been a movie on TV. It's old; this would have been the very early 90s but the movie could have been from the late 80s.

There were tunnels and the end had a few people running down one, away from some sort of pulsing creature like a giant maggot or something, and this creature was made up from like... i want to say three people in suits that fused into it or something? I don't know.

I need to find it!

RT @ifixcoinops Earlier on I talked about how targeted advertising is a scam from flim-flam men, and your best bet was to go for completely untargeted and really wide-reach advertising to find the people who don't yet know (or act like) they want your thing.

This article says that companies who turned off targeted ads don't notice any difference, and nearly all of the people who were targeted would have bought the thing anyway:

• A mysterious place full of wonders at night. A natural structure with high living spaces. Cozy lights give us the feeling to be welcome. Could it be a party place for tiny creatures? Do we witness one of the rare occasions when they have the time to celebrate? Well, a cute cat in the front will hopefully let us know. It shall be a witness of this special moment!
