Would anyone even notice if I restarted my Tumblr y/n

[fuckyeahfortran]

Oh, shit, remember Tumblr? I barely do. Anyway, here’s some stuff I’ve been working on.

Anyway, I’m primarily on Mastodon nowadays.

I’m not explicitly shutting down my tumblr, but I’ve basically moved on to mastodon at this point. @phooky@octodon.social.

I took him apart for a cleaning and it seems like he’s getting intermittent position data now, which is progress! He also made himself very dizzy.

It keeps getting weirder. This is the post-cyberpunk vaporwave aesthetic that we never wanted.

Artist: Cem Tezcan Title: Commodore 1702 Monitor “This piece is the last of the Commodore 64 retro computer components that I modeled lately. I never own this one, so I modeled by looking to the photos I found over the net. Hope you like it.” Outstanding…

Towards A Poetry Of Debunking. Henry Jenkins interviews Wu Ming 1 and Benjamen Walker on conspiracy theories

→ How Do You Like It So Far? podcast, Episode 22

Henry Jenkins is the Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism, Cinematic Arts and Education at the University of Southern California.  He is the author and/or editor of many books on various aspects of media and popular culture, including Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide, Spreadable Media: Creating Meaning and Value in a Networked Culture, and By Any Media Necessary: The New Youth Activism.

«This week we talked about conspiracy theories with Wu Ming 1, of the collective Wu Ming, whose books inspired one the main conspiracy theorists on the internet, and Benjamin Walker, whose podcast often focuses on conspiracy theories. We cover: The art of blurring fact and fiction, and non-fiction, discrediting gatekeepers, can we ever really debunk, the role of satire, the hunger for complexity, pizzagate, the “deep state,” QAnon, and of course, president Trump.

Benjamin Walker tackles just these sorts of trends on his podcast, “Theory of Everything,” many of which trace back their current toxicology to 9/11. In a recent episode he delves into: when the truthers were gone, and how truthers merged into “hoaxers.” He identifies that with Sandy Hook, these hoaxes turned it into a “darker form.” He is a bit pessimistic since: “Looking for a way forward… I haven’t found it yet.

Wu Ming is a pseudonym for a group of Italian authors formed in 2000 from a subset of the Luther Blissett community in Bologna. Four members of the group wrote the novel “Q” in 1999. On 28 October 2017, references to Q emerged from the message board 4chan. In a thread called “Calm Before the Storm,” Q transformed into a government insider, with top security clearance who knew the truth about a secret struggle for power involving Donald Trump, the “deep state”, pedophile rings, Robert Mueller, and the Clintons.»
