gravely finished reading I'm Starting to Worry about This Black Box of Doom by David Wong
Content warning pretty online
a few of my favorite very-online writers—but I'm think of Pargin and Jeb Lund (who for all I know don't know each other at all) specifically here and not like, uh, Lockwood—are pretty good about using their veterans-of-forum-wars (or at least that era of online) past to be pretty strong voices for not being assholes on the internet.
this is a lot of that
cw: mens rights nonsense
my point: so if you feel like you don't need some old guy rubbing your nose in a “deuteragonist" (I had to look up the word for that) “hey look at this kid who is a twitch streamer who is kinda black pilled, don't be lame like this”, because you yourself are also over that, maybe skip this one
Ultimately it's a fun read and a break from the John and Zoe books and pretty mad at the same stuff a lot of people are on mastodon are mad about re: the other social networks, so, I'm glad I read it.
