i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

“You could be thinking about a nuclear beam dinosaur but I think you should think about Men Like Me and about romance with Men Like Me!”

I wish this characterization was less accurate

"Of course, there was a ball pit. But there were also multiple Gandalf Big Naturals cosplayers, as well as folks dressed up like a children’s hospital — a reference to a viral Tumblr post about color theory and some very questionable design choices. New York Times bestselling author Xiran Jay Zhao attended as Yu-Gi-Oh Robespierre, while YouTuber Strange Æons had a physical battle with iconic Tumblr user the Muppet Joker, which resulted in some pretty great fan art actually. It was a day where everyone who showed up understood the references and were in on the same jokes, where 2010s nostalgia was viewed with 2025 post-ironic clarity. If this all sounds like gibberish to you, that’s fine, this event wasn’t for you. DashCon 2 was, again, for Tumblr users by Tumblr users, so if (like me) you’ve been endlessly scrolling your dashboard for the last 15 years all of this makes total sense."

hiiiii i wrote about DashCon 2 in yesterday's Garbage Day newsletter if you wanna read it!

“The Trump administration’s decision to publicize something like Alligator Alcatraz is not just a useful weapon that they can now threaten their enemies — and Elon Musk — with. It’s also a distinctly new form of propaganda. Something they seem to have picked up from the video tours of Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) in El Salvador. The concentration camp reimagined as a hype house. A place to make content, both real and AI-generated, that glorifies the power of the state. What Democratic super-poster Will Stancil described this week as “pornography for Trump’s sadistic base.” But also content that desensitizes you. That normalizes state violence and, most importantly, turns it into a meme. Trump’s administration knows that most effective propaganda of the 21st century is viral, ephemeral, and, crucially, stupid. Something CNN hosts can joke about on air, distracted by how idiotic the name is. How goofy the T-shirts are. Completely removed from the human misery happening behind closed doors.”

Trump’s big, beautiful gulag

This is what Republicans voted for. This is what they wanted.

Don’t let anyone tell you they didn’t vote for this, they actually voted for [low taxes | strong defense | the party | the price of eggs| some other bullshit], and now they are horrified. They never wanted masked thugs to terrorize and kidnap an innocent mother while her children watch. They never wanted masked vigilantes to terrorize entire communities and beat fathers bloody in front of their families.

They never wanted any of this, they tell us, and maybe they didn’t want it, but he promised it, and his base held up signs celebrating it. He promised to inflict this terror and this sadistic cruelty on as many people as he could, and that even if they say they didn’t want this to happen, his repeated promises to do exactly this certainly weren’t enough to stop them from voting for him.

So many people who voted for him like to pretend that they aren’t Nazis; it’s the MAGA extremists who are the Nazis. It’s not this guy who lives in the middle-class suburb! This guy goes to church and takes his kids to soccer practice! He was appalled by January 6 (though he’s rewritten almost all of it in his head into something less violent). He doesn’t support those MAGA people; in fact, he’s embarrassed by them!

Deep breath. Okay. Hey, buddy, I have some news: there is no difference between you and them. You’re just as deplorable, and you do not get to pretend you didn’t vote for this like they did. You may dress nice and check all the “good neighbor” boxes, just like a lot of Germans did in the 1930s, but you don’t fool me.

Whatever justification you invented to feel good about what you did, doesn’t matter. It’s the result of your vote that matters, and you voted for terror, suffering, and incompetent malevolence aimed at the heart of our Constitution.

I will never forget this. I will never forgive you for the suffering you enabled.
