Jesus, by far the worst William Gibson dystopia I’ve ever read a synopsis of.

Or maybe PK Dick.

Probably depends on how many of these young Musk staffers have Neuralink implants.

This contained five different conflicting sleeper agent activation words and I'm not sure which foreign intelligence service I'm supposed to be working for now, thanks

I tried using Google translate and I still don't understand this post...

hovercraft skirt deicer was a nice touch

Absolutely losing it at "Soviet hovercraft skirt deicer"

Worst Neal Stephenson EVER!

On some level I regret ever working on TNO, that meme is never going to fucking die.

sashotodorov.bsky.social•117 days ago

In general the Youtube algorithm is most responsible with how fucked things got, but Paradox, especially Paradox mods, are underrated with just how goddamn weird the right's staffer base has become.

roninmacbeth.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yeah I used to hang out a lot on Paradox subreddits (and used to write for TNO) and I remember just how weird a lot of those folks were/are. Sometimes it was the good weird, I made some good friends there. Other times it, uh...wasn't.

Did William Gibson write this? I feel like this is straight from Neuromancer. Also can I have some Soviet Hovercraft skirt deicer too?

Fucking VA doctors got that insane letter from the OMB goons. And read this- it doesn't sound like something a native English speaker would write. Elon is certainly a Chinese intelligence risk. Hmmmmm.

segyges.bsky.social•117 days ago

in fairness this is most likely some chinese h1b dude who is just stuck with elon and not geopolitically interesting

imthewalruz.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yeah probably. I've been reading a lot of pynchon lately though so my paranoia is at a high level.

segyges.bsky.social•117 days ago

i mean it's directionally correct i just think the person who literally drafts the memo is unlikely to be the problem

It screams “the phys Ed intern & newly appointed director of OPM wrote this”

I guarantee they just asked an AI to type it up because they couldn’t be bothered to

snarkranger.bsky.social•117 days ago

it evinces absolutely no understanding of why many people take federal jobs - because they care about the mission. these people are entirely transactional and clueless.

I get four weeks paid vacation already and barely have time to use it because I'm working so hard!
