Kevin Roose sure wrote a poo poo ton of words about how great crypto is a few years ago lol.

He spent a year undergrad at Liberty University so that he could write a book about it.

I would say that that was loving stupid, but it got him into the good ol’ boys club, so who is to say if it’s bad or not?

I like their investigative journalism & Jamelle Bouie owns but not a fan of them running giant Phillip Morris ads or “surveys” about how whether Exxon Mobil’s environmentalism is wonderful or merely brilliant.

i think maybe we should go in the opposite direction and promote the concept of SA being a heap, a shitheap

New York Times mentioned on Something Awful:

worst toilet paper I've ever used. Scratchy, sharp edges, no absorbency. I don't know why they waste time printing patterns all over it if it's not even fit for purpose. If you're in an emergency, I don't know, sacrifice a towel or something rather than grab this crap.

There's a Facebook group that was called a cesspool and they embraced it ironically. We should do the same, we called ourselves goons after all.

SA is very uncesspool now. Like it used to be but as goons aged they developed more empathy and homophobic , transphobic ,misogyny and racism are not tolerated.

Exactly. This is the only major Internet destination that I know of where I *don’t* have to read infuriating neo-Fascist rants and lies.

… incorrect opinions about movies, TV shows, and games that I need to immediately correct, yes. But neo-Fascism? No, and it’s a loving relief and respite from most of the rest of the online world.

What I’m trying to say is I love you, goons.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
