There was a period of a month or two when I lived in Japan where me and this autistic kid from Australia helped a bunch of Midwestern trolls adjacent to the Portal of Evil forums achieve 24-hour coverage of their trolling operations against furries on Yahoo Clubs. I was pretty non-online at that point and tired of polite Japanese society so it was just about the most fun I'd had since I started going to punk shows. I'm still friends with some of them, and the autistic kid came to the US and we went to a couple of indie wrestling shows.

Also during that time, I had a couple of online interactions with Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads (my favorite band) that ended with me trying and failing to help her open a Word file on an iMac.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

The Cooks Source Plagiarism scandal, in which I watched Twitter posts and a shared Google doc update in real time as people identified seemingly random recipe articles that were being lifted by a woman for a small town community magazine. All while I was in Disney World, checking on updates throughout the day. It was the first time I really understood the power of “here comes the Internet.”

I’ll never forget the moment the 2020 US presidential race was called for Biden. People were celebrating in the streets all over the country and watching it occur in real time through multiple tweets and news sources was something incredible to behold.

Thing is, we weren’t celebrating Biden in the White House, we were celebrating Trump leaving it. Regardless, it was like experiencing the ending of Return of the Jedi in real life :allears:

I remember thinking it was the funniest thing in the world to just immediately toss the treasure chest into the ocean and watch the team I was on freaking out. I don't think I ever legitimately tried to win.
