is a prankster & activist who has run for president every four years since 1992. I appreciate that he & the CA Pirate Party are calling out this event.

A lot of "anonymous" organizers and funders are listed there. I get it, I wouldn't want my name on the same list as the Heritage Foundation or the Peter Thiel Alumni Association either.

@docpop this website (the content, not even the display or style!) made me feel quite ill

@powersoffour The 1980s called and want their graphics back.

@powersoffour @docpop Bonus points to Reboot for starting off their supervillain monologue with an appropriated, misquoted William Gibson line. This whole circus—the people, the ideologies, the tech—sounds very Gibsonian indeed, and not in a good way.

(I do wonder who chose the static-filled CRT screens as a key visual motif for their website. Feels very much like a sly "you and I both know what we are" detail.)
