We should never have let the AOL normies bridge to the internet.
I am all about recreating the exclusive anarchist underground invite-only internet of nerds, queers, freaks and outcasts of yore.
You only get to play with us if you can prove that you are devoted to culture jamming and dissembling the surveillance capitalism state.

The Independent:
The insinuation that primarily elderly people watch Fox News is not an exaggeration. According to Nielsen, the median age for Fox News viewers is 69-years-old.
Earlier this summer, Tucker Carlson — once the darling of Fox News prime time before he was fired — took at shot at his former network's personalities and primary demographic, according to Mediaite.
During a segment on his podcast in June, he torched former colleague Mark Levin, who he said is "terrible on TV" and who "controls Hannity in this weird way."
He went on to call Levin "screechy" and his commentary "not appealing," before saying the network was using him to get the network's elderly viewers to "submit."

An old lady named Ida was somewhat lonely since her cat died and decided she needed another pet to keep her company. So, off to the pet shop she went. She searched and searched. None of the pets seemed to catch her interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he was in, she looked and he winked at her.
He whispered, 'I'M SO LONELY, TOO. BUY ME AND TAKE ME HOME.. YOU WON'T EVER BE SORRY.'
Ida figured, what the heck! She hadn't found anything else. So she bought the frog. She placed him in the car, on the front seat beside her.
As she was slowly driving down the road, the frog whispered to her 'KISS ME AND YOUWON'T BE SORRY..'!
So, Ida figured, WHAT THE HECK, and kissed the frog.
IMMEDIATELY the frog turned into an absolutely gorgeous, sexy, young, handsome prince1/2
