Great analysis of the state of the AI bubble that is currently the only thing holding up the US economy. @cybelecanterel.bsky.social really nailed it when she drew the comparison to Enron. Top notch!

Fear and Loathing in San Francisco Unpacking Peter Thiel’s very American eschatology

Real is real. Try as he might, Thiel can’t hoard his way to immortality, nor disrupt a way out of ecological limits, nor build surveillance infrastructure massive enough to control all contradictions. Real was there all along— he’s just trying to avoid confronting it.

As @cybelecanterel.bsky.social notes in her work, and @garbageday.email has written and spoken about as well, the extremely online gamer youth of today is layered in irony - taking cool story bro, rendering it in grandiose terms, putting it on top of another ironic meme… its irony all the way down.

Thank you, Sarah! 💜

Blackpill Aesthetics: A Crash Course in Meme Extremism YouTube video by Cy Canterel

This from @cybelecanterel.bsky.social is by far one of the best pieces of analysis of the connection of far-right ‘political’ (using that word in a general sense) identity movements and their use of online memeification.

Reminds me of the work of @bostonjoan.bsky.social

What's Happening Online?
