If anyone can confirm that everyone is alive and in a safe place, it would really take a weight off me.


i am reliably informed that everyone is alive and in a safe place, doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances

If everyone includes me, that sounds about right. I'm reading about political economy again and think I'm gonna study it (or as close as I can get) in school and do it for a living if I can. I probably still won't post a lot but I still check once in a while and I'm responding here because I'm touched that anyone cares. Thank you.

this is really sensible. i would also be in favour of deleting rep entirely but i'm ok with leaving it alone


yeah, add another vote for deleting it. I don't like laughing with a crowd

i sometmies use it to find other ppls posts, this is just a hypothetical example but ill remember "a couple months ago emanella made that post i liked about skinny jeans" and ill open your rep page and then search my own name and find the time i upvoted you and ill be like "there it is, thats the post about skinnyjeans"

It's bad that inbetween when I try and make people feel bad with articles they're somehow getting positive reenforcement from other webizens and feeling good about themselves. If we could make fixing that a priority on this closed web forum with six members and no administration, that would be ideal.

articles don't make me feel bad. israel could nuke tehran and i'd still have a pretty good day. it's called putting things into perspective and focusing on the positive.

ok, I deleted sensitive passwords and stuff, and I got joey to comb through it to make sure I got it all and give the ok for turning it into a github. we're good.

please PM me a github account name if you're interested in getting access to the code (it's all python and javascript). again, if you care about real name stuff, make a separate account etc.

no tourists! i don't want to add many people, and i definitely won't add anyone who i don't believe is completely trustworthy. sorry mustang.

fixing search would pretty much solve the problem of having to find posts by rep tho

search works, you just have to sit there on the search page for 10 seconds before hitting go. google searches pretty well too if you include site:rhizzone.net at the end of your search string. but sometimes i just cant think of the right word to use

deleting rep is a shit idea imo. if people don't know what makes a good post they never become better at posting which is a skill that will take you far in this world of ours.

ok no one is deleting rep entirely. i mean i'm not. so don't worry. that was just a shot in the dark. the only thing i am putting on the to-fix list is rep pages crashing the site, no functionality will change.

unless for some weird reason rep pages are never fixable for people with lots of rep, in which case we can just replace tpaine's rep page with THEY'RE ALL GOOD, OK? and a list of all his posts.

(this is a joke. every bug is fixable with enough time.)

i hope to be getting keys to a building to run an art gallery + event space soon.

what would a rhizzone exhibition look like?
we have white walls and windows and projectors and speakers etc and a prominent location.

we could print out frontpage articles and memes a2 size and show revolutionary youtubes and arrange the exhibition rhizzomatically

of course it could be a communist exhibition rather than an obscure internet forum one.
this was very effective and interesting

would there be any interest or ideas for doing some kind real world interaction and engagement with public some time this year?

i don't know anything about art but i don't think people go to art galleries to read. they want to look at something and feel smart, it's just a sort of bourgeois cargo cult, except for a few rare cases of people who actually want to be pushed and/or actually make sincere effort art. imo.

i guess optimistically (I'm not good at being optimistic but I'll try) you have a platform and reaching one or two people with an idea is better than zero, but i think the sort of art you have to put in people's faces to be most effective has to be ostensibly mainstream on the surface and quickly and sharply subvert that mainstream set of clichés in a way that highlights some obviously bullshit part of late capitalism and calls it out explicitly. like our famous poster's GHOSTS but maybe a little less torture porn.

or more idk, maybe you can just call the show "The Passion of Mollie" and have a bunch of paintings and drawings and other various depictions of Crudbabble herself, being horrifyingly flayed and raped and mutilated and tortured. say it's inspired by GHOSTS. it'll get you some news coverage somewhere I bet
