The complete and utter failure of the metaverse is a reminder [...] that quite often these oligarchs quite simply cannot relate to real people, don’t know how or why people use their products, and very often have no idea what they’re doing https://www.404media.co/rip-metaverse-an-80-billion-dumpster-fire-nobody-wanted/

RIP Metaverse, an $80 Billion Dumpster Fire Nobody Wanted

I'm in awe of how Afroman played this. This is someone who knows how to control the narrative. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116251155620526484

Look at what he's wearing. He doesn't want *any* of your respectability politics. And what are they gonna do? Find him in contempt of court? He's wearing the flag!

It's not a joke, either. He's there to remind you of your First Amendment rights.

White moms are singing "lemon pound cake" to themselves as they drop off their kids at school today. (it's me, I'm white moms)

This Afroman trial is giving me life. Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money. He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/2m8NpGplUOM

One of the cops that is suing Afroman, because other cops now make fun of him, and call him "lemon pound cake":

Reminder that part of the reason FDR called the Pearl Harbor attack "a date which will live in infamy" is because the U.S. and Japan were still engaged in peace talks right up until they attacked us. Which was... exactly what the U.S. did to Iran. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...
