Reddit's been banning a bunch of alt right/incel boards since they started making Serena Williams a racist meme.
Serena Williams married the co-owner of Reddit. Good going, dumbfucks.

I just finished the book version of The Circle. I could recommend the movie version instead but it got a 'happy' ending instead of the...dark?...version in the book. Either way it's an idea of where social media could go and how brainwashed/culty the people who work there are and how best intentions are always lining the road to hell. It's also obviously overwrought and written from an out-of-proportion point-of-view so it's hard to take seriously. I am beginning to wonder if I blame the narrator on the audiobook for that or if it was just written that way. |

I had the opposite take, reading the book. It scared the hell out of me specifically because nothing in it seemed out-of-proportion except for the stupid, unrealistic love story arc. |

I also enjoyed the book and felt it was a little too realistic. Alas, here I am still loving the internet. |

I keep seeing that the book seemed realistic but I never felt that way. Maybe I'm just far enough out of the loop that the whole thing sounded ridiculous. I mean "We sent a bunch of frowns to that nation's government so they know what's up" was a legit sentence that was supposed to be taken seriously? Or how about "Oh no, 6% of the people here gave me a frownie face, why do they want me dead?!" And yeah all of the romance in the book was terrible. Either she was chasing a guy that her "friend" was constantly giving her grief about or she was chasing a guy who couldn't perform his way out of a paper bag and demanded her rate his abilities. edit: Though I guess it's telling that almost all of the top quotes on Goodreads are from Mercer. |

To make sure all of the conservative voices are silenced in the coming election and to create as many illegitimate voters as possible, duh. |
