Twitter C/D

lines of ppl at the betsy ross museum bothering the poor old lady working at the gift shop if they can fuck the flag, etc

somebody run up on Dave Matthews and tell him everyone on ilm thinks he is bad and hated.

joek would have worked better if he'd shouted "fuck off" per the balloons

one of my favorite things to see are photos from drones of people throwing things at the drone

***Attention Wayne Hills Residents***
PORTSMOUTH OHIO
Please stop throwing beer bottles at the drones. They are property of Portsmouth Police Department and they run surveillance on the property for your protection. We repeat, STOP KNOCKING DOWN OUR ANTI-DRUG ACTIVITY DRONES! pic.twitter.com/QaCUl6mDeM

Definitely continue throwing things at drones plz, real American heroes

that's a way old viral pic

Though I wouldn't be surprised if that dude's name was Wayne Hills.

used to be every time there was some baffling series of words in all caps trending i would click through and it would just be a reaction to a k-pop star getting a haircut

nowadays it's the same thing but with minecraft youtubers

welp, i got dragged by hundreds of people spelling out

and they all reported back to the same cryptlord

am i doing twitter right yet?

lmao thats fn crazy

it all started because i was teaching aphex twin a lesson about normalizing shitty things like - map, don't read this - NFTs.

since it involved cryptocurrency, my reply got the attention of this guy

who quote tweeted me and was like "gedda load of the gams on this guy, whadda fucking loser!"

within minutes the inverse mike gravel teens descended on me

when it was done, they tagged this guy to let him know:

whoops, the person cryptodork who got involved was

https://i.imgur.com/GBp2BEK.png

what a world

dude

i'm having fun staying poor tbqfh

these are some of the weirdest ppl on the Web imo

Z, I have no idea what NFTs are and how this made you and Aphex Twin enemies.

I tried to look it up and my eyes glazed once I got to the part about how long it takes to boil a swimming pool.

not sure if you can recover from this, karl. they got your ass

what if u dont have fun being poor, thatll fuckin show em

i think you won that exchange

i don't know, they declared victory immediately afterward with this, and i have to admit that i was impressed that someone actually photoshopped my real tweet in the crosshairs! these kids are good

https://i.imgur.com/SkW5ozS.png

Convert that into a NFT and sell it back to them

They'd probably lose their shit and pay your rent, actually.

lmao

i'd encourage on of you to do it, but first, please, plant four trees up for it

I get the feeling that these people might have been selling Amway in the days before crypto.

"So Karl, we were about to offer you this high paying job, however we ran a search and see that you were pwned by cryptodorks on Twitter. Have fun staying poor!"

even though we ain't got money
have fun staying poor with me honey

otm

gotta post this here for the high quality video content, aphex twin eat your fucking heart out

Karl, why can't you understand the future?

So what we want is to build a massive monument for this particular work of art which exists only in the virtual world. We have a wish list—a dream, so to speak, of some of the most prominent architects on the planet. We’d like to collaborate with them to design something that can exist only in this virtual space and then install this art in it and open it up to the world. The dream is to build the monument and, in two months’ time or so, share a link with you so that you—wherever you are in the world—at the click of a button, can experience the grandeur of this work.

This is going to be a billion-dollar piece someday. This has the potential to be the work of art of this generation. We are very happy to be part of history and we’re still digesting the fact that we are part of history.

the funniest bit is all the beeple crap is banksy-meets-digitalblasphemy, down to the fanbase

I finally looked at “beeple”s deviantart it’s uh

very much has an audience, but it’s funny how rote it all is

yeah, i definitely read that! it's just perfect. the people/person/company who bought it were themselves NFT advocates and investors, who surely knew that by setting a record-setting price it would drive more interest into NFTs, and drive up their own investments. the future of commerce, humanity, creativity, and the death of the Petrodollar, via hyperspeculation! because there was not enough speculatiojn

also, the "work of art of this generation", it's just like...a COLLAGE?! for this "generation"? lool

he got “weirder” in recent years if you think weird is figuring out what people on socials are memeing about and generating more crap based on it

figured out shrek memes several years late

very much has an audience, but it’s funny how rote it all is

it's corporate art. it's something he can crank out and brands know what they're getting. the bbc arts critic favorably compared him to andy warhol, in that regard. i disagree. the difference is that there are a million beeples

but also, look at this and wonder about what the point is

https://i.imgur.com/r0QftJW.jpg

are there, though? I didn’t realize dude had sold concert visuals to a handful of music artists

the art and it’s message isn’t the medium, the reach is

why need a point when you get a paycheck

teal and orange, instantly appealing.

and divisions! and people who stand this way. of different sizes. all in a row. there is a hierarchy in this society, it is clear. and also a giant black orb with a circle on it

He’s fine? It looks like video game production work, but 35% less commercial.

that's true. it looks like a good bioshock level

Imagine if DC or Image had figured this shit out first, there would be a 90 million dollar spawn somewhere

honestly, give it 20 years, maybe you could fully inhabit these beeple creations as a videogame. it's already in a 3D space (either C4D or maya), with textures and 3D models and that shit. it's just a game that doesn't have any players. seems like it would be easy to hop into any of the characters in the one above and see what happens if you step out of line - with a flamethrower

i guess i did like this one, because it seemed to reveal something about them. i can't tell if the style of it is a parody of the kinds of paintings where jesus is helping a hockey player, or whatever, or not, but i guess that's good

https://i.imgur.com/CAgF3bl.png

since the blockchain is all about undoing the convenience and efficiency of already available technologies, perhaps they can add a sort of permanent damage tracked on a blockchain. So you can enter the 3D space and permanently torch it with a flamethrower. Or there could be random "acts of god" that destroy NFT art beyond repair.

Ask and ye shall receive

Hey Panera, if you could take a break from making stale ass bread bowls for old white people and salt your sidewalk that’d be great. Almost cracked my skull coming in this morning.
