RANDOS FUCK OFF
wild thread about events that I kinda tangentially lived through, I guess
there's definitely some truth here, but from my perspective as someone who was active on both sites, 4chan specifically started because the dorks in ADTRW (the SA anime forum; guess what it stands for!) became enamored with 2chan and some of em decided to start an English-language version.
4chan only exists because people wouldn't stop talking about Azumanga Daioh on something awful to the point they had to start a new site. It's also where the term "waifu" comes from. Azumanga's importance is slept on.

"Immigration is good, actually" could be a very easy message to land in an environment where Americans increasingly just look at Trump and think "what the fuck is wrong with this guy's whole deal?"
I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
This is also a place being rhetorically pro-immigration could be good. "I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks."

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

I always think it's funny that the US developed pretty much the optimal--by revealed preference--kind of suburb (close-in streetcar suburbs) in the early 20th century and then spent the rest of the century trying furiously to undo that good idea
as will notes, people tend to *say* they want suburban living. they want a big house and a big yard and etc. this is not however what is suggested by their actual purchasing practices, which invariably result in something like this:
