Maybe there will be a missile strike and Ireland’s population will shrink back to 19th century numbers

maol@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systems•The shocking rise of one of the tech right’s favorite postersEnglish4·1 month agoClose enough, welcome back Rachel Dolezal. Although in fairness to Rachel Dolezal*, she at least went to work for the NAACP, rather than becoming a footsoldier of fascism.
No wonder this guy thought Zohran Mamdani was trying to lie about his racial identity: he lies like he breathes, and assumes others do too
*You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Rachel Dolezal

Not the most important part of the story, but his elaborate lies about being Jewish are very very weird. Kind of like white Americans pretending that they’re Cherokee I guess?
maol@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 13th July 2025English0·2 months agoI have become aware that there is a very right wing Catholic podcaster who has a Catholicism AI chatbot app. It’s called Truthly.

If someone could call up Pope Leo and get him to excommunicate the guys who invented this, that would be great.

maol@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systems•In which Scott (other Scott) can't imagine why committing a crime would lead him to be treated (gasp) like a criminalEnglish1·2 years agoIf anything, this is an example of a situation in which talking to the cops is actually your best option. If he’d sullenly plead the 5th there’s a good chance they’d have arrested him properly and maybe even charged him, causing him to miss his flight.
I can admit this sounds like a fairly unpleasant experience, but airports are high security, unpleasant environments. I’m still not sure how someone could accidentally take a tip jar despite paying with card. Did he black out for 30 seconds?
“It’s like: my accusers arrive on the scene committed to a specific, hostile theory of me: that I’m a petty thief of smoothie bars, let’s say, or a sexual-harassment-loving misogynist.”
But he did take the smoothie bar money. He might not have realized he was doing it, he might not have done it on purpose, but he did take the money. In this metaphor, he commits sexual harrassment but it’s ok because he’s too gormless to realize what he’s doing.
Saw this on my YouTube subscriptions: that creepy racist breeding kink couple are continuing their international press tour. Go away!
