Please read this and share. Fark.com and the Daily Grail both came up in the same early era, and everything @drewcurtis.bsky.social says here mirrors what I wish all our readers (or actually, all internet users) knew. TLDR: Support genuine websites financially, or they'll soon be gone forever!

So with regards to what I said about how Fark won't survive this year without more TF subscribers, I wrote up a longer explanation about what we're all up against. Not just Fark, all of digital media.

“Initially I couldn't believe Google could be so dumb to kill the thing it makes literally all its money from, but lately I've arrived at another conclusion: Google knows it's killing the open web and is doing it on purpose. There's no way no one at Google realizes what's happening.”

Social media apps distilled down into: hit refresh->dopamine Like I say in the piece: Old Web vs Social Feed is the difference between doing something because you really really like it and doing something because you can't make yourself stop.

for sure, but yknow, I miss the climate, too. I miss forums, I miss individual websites, blogs... how did we all become so stratified while also coalescing into like 3-5 social media sites? dang. go make a proper FARK forum! the comments just aren't enough to discuss things!!

You know where I get most of my news? @atrupar.com You know who wasn’t at the WHCD shaking Trump’s cursed monkey paw of a hand? Also @atrupar.com Subscribe.

Between a number of high-profile hearings and Trump being on camera for hours a day, this was a crazy week. If you appreciate my efforts to chronicle it for you, reminder that the best way to support what I do is with a subscription to PN, which I think you'll enjoy. Paid subs make my work possible.

Can‘t remember a viral tweet, but my Fark comment that got the most LOLs came when someone said he hated vandals and posted a picture of “Bob & Ed 1982” carved into the side of a pyramid. I said, “Calm down. They were beheaded for vandalism in 1981 BC.”

Yo. So. Fark.com is a wonderful site. It was one of the first sites I spent significant time on because weird news amused teen me. I met some lovely people there and folks there were (and are) incredibly supportive of my writing and of me as a trans person. Support them if you can

Here’s hoping - we won’t survive this year without more TF subscribers however. Spread the word
