(17,085 posts)You are a seriously terrible adminstrator Prof Hennessy. I had my mid-month monthly reset with medical marijuana (both THC and CBD! Reefer Madness is bullshit. Prof. Hennessys fellow travellers make shit up).
Well I did this a gazillion times OCD style. But this is real.
And well one lives in civil society. You are a terrible administrator! I cant believe this is online and it is totally forced and inorganic and unnatural. My writing now more closely represents how I am lately. But I wouldnt be posting it online.
And you will go around fraudulently claiming it is democritization via the web and try to boost funding for your creepy Marc Andreessens Substack, as those other creeps Jeff Bezos etc destroy journalism. Which is admittedly full of self-important randoms (I have artistic license! Hennessy tortured me. Mostly entirely inadvertently, because that is his administerial style).
But well more sombrely..it is a lot of disperse greed and callousness. That part is less funny.
I totally lost my mom to it. Which is why I will be outing this via DU (and if any of them ever get back to me - I should add Priya Ramani to the roster. She could help. She took on a total creep and quasi won).
It is just that part is not Hennessy (or I doubt it..He seems like this CS type with terrible politics who starts shit and is nowhere to be found by the time everything is breaking).
He mostly would just show up if bullshit like Substack could bilk this and it cant.
I found Yasha Levine via the Baffler and I have read his book. The part on Norbert Weiner is my favorite, since he is pretty much the sole positive character in the book, like Prof Ryan Williams and Prof Yan Lecun (please help! Hennessy is a terrible admin. And you are white and male which is cool. I would stress anyone else out
. Yeah no..civilized majority group males are fine. I would be too much of a liability for most people more like me and trying not to get fired. Hell I am trying to at least avoid being like my fellow travellers Sam Kuffel, Priya Ramani and Briahna Joy Gray etc more publicly. Man I hope I can avoid detection outside the few who know. Without lies.
My field is niche. One tries to blend in, but not like an actual..you know horribly crass and cynical person. I never had to in my labs, though the last one was ruined by Hennessy).
I found Chris Ketcham via Counterpunch and TruthDig. And every other person I follow has their own site and other articles (Matt Stoller, Alec Karakatsanis, Ed Zitron, Marina Bolotnikova, Nathan Robinson, Alex Skopic, the Steel Snowflake writer, Nandita Bajaj).
And Andy Nikiforuk writes for The Tyee. He is Canadian.
Substack just aggressively monetized it exploiting a fugue state Google and Prof Hennessys shitty Google School forced.
There is absolutely no serious use case.
But it was fun to run across Yasha Levine and Christopher Ketcham etc. I got emails back from both of them!
Hey..they are those heroic people who actually change the world. That was the only fun part. Actual real, famous people not like the horrible people Hennessy boosts who are famous for all the worst reasons.
Ed Zitron has his own site. These guys are totally full of shit. Adam Becker and Ed Zitron point out why the ai is a joke. And Yasha Levine, Chrs Ketcham why everything else is bullshit.
Seriously. This is really bad form. It is like a sitcom from hell. And you dragged me into it and now it is online and in some sort of vague attempt to deflect attention away from myself I have insulted all sorts of totally unconnected randoms for stuff like writing annoying opeds and they will form a mob and tar and feather me and it is all because you are a terrible administrator. I hate being conspicuous. I will be mobbed and murdered after being totally inadvertently tortured by Hennessy and some local creeps shilling healthcare and communication technology from hell.
. That is not how I was planning to go.
And I really hope it affects DU positively if at all. I have to now figure out how to address anything serious semi-secretively (not the anything to hide crap, but how to strategize so Hennessy and his ilk the world - especially this local totally indvertent crimes against humanity, torture porn and harassment friendly crowd
. These guys are all ridiculous.
They are like cartoon villains and too stupid to get that that is sad and tragic not cool and artistic.
