I know when I put stuff out on a public forum like this that it’s like– well- like, anybody can eavesdrop. I mean, you’re listening now, aren’t you? Why do I say something if I don’t want to be heard? I’m glad you’re listening!
But not my girlfriend. I want her to stop. It’s like she’s spying on me. She makes me feel as if she’s gathering evidence. Like we’re both sort of shady, and there’s a crime here somewhere. Would she go through my dresser drawers? If she wants to know stuff, why doesn’t she just come out and ask me? To my face! You know, I never really thought about this before. Not until she– well, let’s call her Karen. It’s not her name but let’s call her that– “Karen” got all angry with me about what I said about my ex-girlfriend on her blog. Which means that “Karen” is not only listening to my blog, but to this other girl’s blog as well. Is that creepy, or what? If she had a blog of her own for me and my friends to listen to, maybe that’d be ok. But as it is, I just don’t see how we can move forward. When she listens to this comment, I know she’s gonna be as pissed as a cat in the bathtub–but, hey! I don’t like being spied on. Or accused. Pull my chain, you get a chain reaction! And what’s with those photos on My Space?

- IshowSpeed coming to ZimbabweMarondera – Darren Jason Watkins Jr., the American internet personality better known as IShowSpeed, is expected to visit Zimbabwe as part of an ambitious tour spanning 20 African countries, a move that signals a growing shift in how global digital culture engages with the continent. Watkins, just 20 years old, has become one of the most influential livestreamers of his generation, commanding tens of millions …
- Us vs ThemThere’s no “us.” There’s no “them.” There’s only the comfort of pretending there is. People need enemies the way lungs need air. Conflict gives meaning to the meaningless.Without opposition, identity collapses. So we build one. We draw lines on maps, then forget who drew them. Every tribe begins as fear, then calls itself culture.We love belonging because it saves us from thinking.It’s easier to chant …
- We Turned Horniness Into An IndustryLet me explain this slowly, because if you blinked for five minutes in June, you might’ve missed the moment humanity officially gave up pretending it had standards. An actress, Sydney Sweeney, famous, attractive, very online-adjacent, partnered with a men’s grooming company called Dr Squatch to release a limited-edition bar of soap. Five thousand bars. Eight dollars each. And the marketing hook, the thing that made …
- Smoke ScreensThe Epstein Files were supposed to be a revelation.A ledger of the powerful written in ink, not whispers.Promises were made. Promises were repeated.They claimed the truth would come out.The fog would lift.Transparency was the campaign slogan. Then the files arrived.And almost everything was blank.Pages upon pages covered in black boxes.Names, conversations, details, gone.Block after block of censorship.Critics call it about 90 percent redacted. That is …
- The Redacted States Of AmericaThey finally released the Epstein files. And by “released,” I mean they handed the public a stack of black rectangles wrapped in patriotic bullshit and said, ‘here you go, transparency.’ Not truth, mind you. Not accountability either. Transparency cosplay. The kind where the light technically passes through, but you still can’t see a fucking thing. Page after page after page looks like it lost a …
- We Cant Have Shit AnymoreSomewhere out there, a very tired underpaid FBI agent had to write a sentence that would’ve sounded insane just ten years ago. “Criminals may use AI-generated images to fake kidnappings and demand ransom.” That sentence alone should qualify us for a species-wide timeout. And of course the internet did what the internet does and immediately joked about how this will disrupt the real kidnapping industry. …
- Africa is The New Cold War FrontYou ever feel like the whole damn planet suddenly remembered Africa exists. Not because they actually give a shit about Africans, but because the minerals are running low everywhere else and China has been scooping up the continent like it’s a Black Friday sale? Because that’s exactly what’s happening. And now, out of nowhere, every global superpower is acting like they’ve always loved us, like …
