@catvalente “cracked bowls of screamgravy”

*chef’s kiss* I love this wordplay.

@catvalente Suckerberg is what Musk aspires to be.

And Huffman of Reddit aspires to be Musk.

It's just a giant conga line of suck.

@catvalente

Yep. #CambridgeAnalytica jolted the frankenstein monster to life on the political stage.

They did it by raiding private conversations to figure out exactly what each individual wanted to hear, and that's what they gave them.
#facebook #meta

@catvalente Exactly! I cannot stand so many people saying they hope it ends twitter if they all join threads.
This isn't like an election where you have to vote for the lesser of two evils. You can just chose not to use either of them.

Also, are we really all in a rush to give our time, and attention to meta a year out from the 2024 elections? The election cycle of news is about to start and we already know how badly involved facebook was before. Threads is bound to be worse.

And Brexit

@catvalente

Zuckerberg, with full knowledge and full understanding of what he is doing and what Facebook was doing, has purposely and with malice undermined the privacy, and the ability to control privacy of all of their users.

He is scum.

@catvalente to me it feels very similar to people reacting to trump by pining for the days of regan republicans. they were shit too! they've always been shit!

zuckerberg has always been and always will be a creepy asshole.

@catvalente All of your parents' brains were already cracked bowls of racist screamgravy, *that's* why the fuckery was so effective.

They were fed exactly what they wanted to feed on, platforms just made it ok to be public again.

Casual racism is racism.

@catvalente musk is in part a product of zuckerberg. the spike in far right rhetoric is clearly something musk himself has bought into and lead to the figure he is now. he was always garbage, of course, but the sort of shit facebook helped push has made him all the more extreme

that brand of bullshit also fits his audience really well: assholes who are attracted to successful-presenting strongmen to idolize

without it he'd just be another rich idiot doing bad shit, but not attracting attention

@catvalente I dunno, the murdered monkeys with the brain implants is straight up comic book levels of villainy, but I get your point.

they can both be bad.

@catvalente Killionaires gonna killionaire. They're BOTH evil, exploitative, manipulative crapheads with way more money than they deserve and a lot of willingness to break the world.

(Killionaire, noun. Anyone who is at least a millionaire and willing to use their wealth to cause suffering and death.)

@catvalente

I keep saying Zuckerburg made a diarrhea sandwich and musk is just pissed he couldn't add extra dookie sauce.
