i would like to report that after 7 years, hundreds of hours, an immense amount of data processing, and an all-but-extinguished spark of hope… i’ve finally found that one stand-up comedy recording i’ve been looking for in my backups.
i’m (psych meds allowing) fucking exuberant.

“subscribe now” pop-ups, cookie hasslers, etc. are the drug store deodorant lockboxes of current web design. apart from the fact that we litigated this in the 90s — you’re looking at the minority of the equation if you think it hasn’t gone too far.
i couldn’t care less if your newsletter signup conversion rate goes up. i’m sure it quadruples or some shit. but you’re pissing the rest of us off. “you wouldn’t believe how much deodorant lockboxes reduce theft” BUT DID THEY ALSO REDUCE SALES, STU?
DID THEY MAKE PEOPLE STOP GOING TO YOUR STORRRRRE?

i finally found a broad-scope rundown about leon rn, including why what he does works (in both good and bad ways), how he’s changed the world, and the general depths of his ego, psychopathy, and danger.
i suspect the reason this particular video scratches the itch for me is because i’m finding it hard to trust any piece of media that is one-sided anymore. even on something so overt as elmo’s clear and present danger.

i can draw a line from cis folks performatively putting pronouns in their email signatures to the current brand of anti-transgenderism flourishing in trump’s second. when i cringe that hard, its more of a flinch, y’know?
