Metakur's still kicking, last I heard his body was riddled with cancer and he suffered a heart attack but is still managing to stay alive past what doctors expected him to. He doesn't do videos or streams anymore cause of that.

huh. from what i heard he kicked the bucket, but it was also mentioned by one of his gamergate "friends" so they could have been lying/exaggerating/memeing/etc.

That was one of the weirder Gamergate sidestories: learning what a massive gigachud Adam Baldwin was and how literally everyone hated working with him on Firefly because he really was just Jayne Cobb in real life, a massive toxic hostile piece of poo poo.

also that character he played on chuck. there was one (perhaps more?) episode where they showed him at his desk, where he has a framed picture of Reagan that i always remembered cause it was funny as the rightwing CIA caricature. but then years later he mentions in an interview (i think with Breitbart :barf: ) that it wasn't just a prop from the studio, but that he actually owned it and brought it from home :lol:

this channel about cute jumping spiders has experienced having their videos stolen and uncredited on tiktok for the first time, it seems. they made a video of putting a droplet of water on a jumping spider's head, which is very cute for sure, and someone nicked it and put it on tiktok where it's been viewed 24 million times. then they did not take it down despite saying they would.

well, enjoy the video of the cute spider, while the creator rants.

Wow, that's hosed up, but also what is up with this line in the article:

quote:

Long before a neo-Nazi at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville allegedly killed a counterprotester named Heather Heyer[...]

Is this just a case of covering one's rear end legally, as the perpetrator wouldn't be convicted until a few months after the article was posted? Because I don't think there was much alleged at the time about Heather Heyer being killed at the rally

having watched it, i wouldn't say it's Dashcon level, solely because they didn't actually go ahead with the con despite having no money, which was the thing that made Dashcon so infamous. it certainly WOULD HAVE been, had that happened. it is a similar case of extreme mismanagement and ineptitude and possible fraud

there is a tangent in the video that is wild though, about a con that forced artist alley into a separate building that used to be a hobby lobby and was extremely ramshackle and looked like a dungeon. in one clip a person is hit by a falling sprinkler head that came loose from the ceiling

I finished watching it, too, and it left me with the broad impression that perhaps something about Oklahoma makes anime convention attempts there innately cursed. It does suck how a close chain of convention implosions makes it harder and harder for other regional conventions to operate in an area because nobody trusts future attempts.

The only story I remember about Milo that seemed worth remembering was that when he was doing his "Dangerous F*ggot" book tour, Baked Alaska another alt-right internet loser gadfly and guy who served two months in prison for storming the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021 was his tour manager, and Milo very quickly came to hate his guts so he started booking him in hotels on the other side of whatever city they were in on that particular stop to make him have to commute as long as possible to their events and the airport.

yeah this is what led to him becoming persona non grata among conservatives. after that he tried going on debate panels with c-tier youtubers, then hit rock bottom with hawking pottery on some rightwing christian QVC channel. but then god somehow granted him one of the greatest failing upwards opportunity with getting in touch with kanye west, but then somehow blew it and wound up getting fired by him :lmao:

On Tiktok there are lots of video ads for household products from China. There are two members in a kpop group called Jia and Fei.

Ex-goon poparena has a series on that as well, though they only do a few a year now I believe.
