4chan, the internet’s most infamous forum, is down following an alleged hack

This. Is. Glorious.

4chan, the online melting pot of humanity’s living diarrhea, has been hacked so fucking hard that the general speculation is it won’t recover. If so, it would be one of the largest acts of de-platforming right wing extremist and the most deserved since god fried all those Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The hackers leaked source code and doxed the admin and many users, who apparently used their actual email addresses to create their accounts. From engadget:

“While it seems some users took steps to protect their identities, many appear to have used their primary email address to register for the forum, with .edu and even .gov addresses reportedly appearing in the list leaked emails.”

As you know, 4chan (and later 8chan) allowed a random asshole who went by Q to plant and falsely validate wild conspiracy theories that did real damage to our democracy. All this birthed Qanon, a political faction that believed all of the dumbest shit this guy posted. And that led to the rise of Trump and his MAGA cult.

Of course, another version of 4chan will undoubtedly grow from the pile of dog shit left behind. But, this is a huge victory in the fight against hate, bigotry, and general stupidity.

Hi. I have seen a hateful anon telling you to k1ll yourself. I’m just here to say that, even though I am literally a faceless, nameless stranger, I hope you know your life is very much worth it. You are a human being, and I don’t know if these messages get

Thanks, Anonny.

I’ve got a thick skin, so those cowardly hate messages don’t bother me. (For that last one, I just liked the opportunity to use a Severance reference.)

But, you’re totally right: Everyone who sends hate messages — especially ones that suggest self-harm or violence — is miserable. Like, they should really examine their life choices.

And anyone who receives those types of messages should know there are far more of us out here that truly care about them.

So, I appreciate your message and I hope others do, too.

When are you going to terminate your pathetic existence? You would be doing humanity a major favor.

Wow, Mr. Botty McBotman.

Those are some big fancy words to say something really unoriginal. I’ve got a few big fancy words, too, for whoever programmed you.

Trump blinks on tariffs, proving what we already knew: He’s a chicken | Opinion

He said to trust him, he said America would win this trade war. But, once his MAGA base and his GOP allies started revolting because he lost them pretty much everything, he backed down without gaining a fucking thing.

Not one country conceded to his demands (unsurprisingly, not even those uninhabited islands off the coast of Antarctica). So, all he and his beloved tariffs achieved is a wrecked U.S. economy.

No one could have seen this coming except literally all of the finance, trade, and economy experts who said this would happen.

Well, I guess Trump now knows you don’t mess with Antarctica.

Today in History: April 9, Robert E. Lee surrenders to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox

Today is the anniversary of the General Lee’s surrender, an event that led to the fall of the Confederacy. So, remember, the final flag flown by the Confederate south was not this one…

It was this one…

So, anyone who waves the former in the name of “southern pride” or “southern history” is flying the wrong flag.

I’m getting an increasing amount of anonymous hate messages and, if you’re one of the people behind them, I implore you:

Please program your bots to state exactly which post upset you.

How else am I going to know how to further piss you off?

Though in the godless liberal stronghold of Los Angeles County, the quaint city in which we live was largely red.

But, thanks to a lazy Republican Representative and Trump’s disastrous first (and now second) term, it’s shifted from purple and likely to blue as evidenced by the fucking insane turnout for the local Hands Off protest today.

And I know they say not to post pictures of yourself at protests in case the fascists come to get you. I say bring it on. I’ll fucking Steve McQueen my way out of whatever shoddily constructed concentration camp Trump’s team of idiots make.

Also, repping Tumblr and @improvisingfatherhood with my sign*.
