  • season 2 is unwatchable, didn’t make it past halfway of the first episode. total loss. i was very up on the first season, which i found draggy, right up until the sprint across all of middle earth, to a battle, to the mountain exploding into a volcano in the span of 10 minutes (HotD pulled this same bullshit with a 5 minute montage in the finale which had more movement of forces than the entire rest of the shortened 8 episode season). that sprint. fight, mordor, bit ruined what was already teetering on a bad experienced. found myself about 30 minutes into the first episode of the second season thinking, this is all shit, the acting, the writting, the direction, all of this is just straight garbage, i don’t like any of this, it’s pretty, but that’s all that it has going for it, i guess i fixated on the stupid acorns still green in the proto hobbit’s hair in the desert, and the rock try sprouting bugs, that did it for me, i was like, nope, i’m noping the fuck out of this bullshit right fucking now, nope nope nope, i’m done

    The judge, it seems, is flying by the seat of his pants a bit, as he also said that businesses and individuals using VPN’s to access Xitter, would be fined $9k a day or something like that. Not sure how he thinks VPN’s work. I guess they can institute the Brazil wide block, then watch to see what accounts from Brasil are updating after the block, then make the case they must be using VPN’s to circumnavigate the block, but that’s A WHOLE FUCKTON of surveillance, enforcement and prosecution, I’m not sure Brazil’s courts are up for.

    Judge has the right idea here, fuck Elon Musk, and fuck Xitter, it is not a sovereign nation, it is a communications company poisoning and allowing through racist incitement the poisoning of the body politic of the entire free world, and should be held to task.


















  • While any forced retreat by musk, is something to celebrate on it’s own, it should be muted by the fact that “The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, the platform said on Saturday.” seems like they’re just closing their offices so they don’t get fined or arrested, but will keep their access operational in Brazil, for now. Brazil can always shut it down any time it likes, and hope they do, but Musk closes offices and lays off employees literally all the time, literally on a whim. This is nothing for him. Sucks to be his employee, but again, anyone still choosing to be in his employ knowing the cunt fascist he’s become, deserves all the bad that’s coming to them.
