There's someone generating endless the(four-letter-nonsense-word)shop accounts selling novelty stuff via ads. Possible to report it? Not with today's Twitter. They need all the advertisers they can get.

Every year I look forward to Roguelike Celebration. It's simply fucking great and the organisers are too.

this web site is certianly on track to replace Banks, as it now struggles to maintain the functionality of a 30 year old geocities guestbook

I swear if this was a TV show, Musk would announce his ultimate success: X Bux, critics and trademarks be damned. And then a freak wind would blow that ramshackle X down off the building onto his head. Cut to credits.
