There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.
Who knows. It’s harmless drama if it’s a marketing gimmick, or they could just be rivals playing off each other. Childish, sure, but spite can be motivating — the guy does make great quality products.
Like James Randi and Uri Geller. Randi made a career out of debunking snake oil salesfolks but there was no question about how much he despised Geller.
I think it’s a region thing, I wasn’t blocked. Someone here posted a screenshot for those who can’t get in.
Could be a vpn or location issue? It’s just a listing for another super matte black this artist made to fuck with Anish.
I don’t know where you got that idea.
Your logic assumes there’s only one light source, no atmospheric dispersion, light is a particle, and everything around the object is non-reflective. And it’s moved to a white background, something we know reflects light.
Edit: This sounds bitchier than I intended so I’m adding in: questions are great and I upvoted you for it.
I need this community because hydrohomies is dead over here.
I don’t know how to answer that question. Because of the tides? Because of a love of dance? Because they knew you were coming?
He made a competing black that anyone can buy, too.
Vance Boelter. Killed/went after democrats.
I can’t find anything linking him to the movement except for a picture of him wearing a meme Halloween costume and a whole lot of wild speculation.
I’m not saying he isn’t part of far right subculture, but there’s way more available evidence at this time that points to him being anti-fascist.
Long Ass Edit: Post Deep Dive.
Alright.
Messages on gun casings: A lot of news sources are saying, by varying degrees, these are associated with Groypers.
Groypers use memes to obfuscate and soften their horrible, horrible views. I ran searches on symbols of the groyper movement, only looking for results posted more than a week ago. None of those phrases were noted as part of the movement or culture - except in one suspiciously post-edited article that mentioned only the messages on the bullet casings without providing references, despite having citations for everything else in the article. I’m not inferring anything nefarious from that, just pointing it out.
There are more iconic symbols of the movement: The groyper toad, pit vipers, swastikas, that weren’t used. However, since Groypers have been largely deplatformed their culture is even more obscure and hard to pin down. I acknowledge it would be difficult to find what might be inside jokes.
Bella Ciao is more difficult to pin down because it’s become popular again an both an ironic and an anti-facist message. It could go both ways.
All I can tell is that he was into memes.
The Halloween Costume: It’s (potentially) a pepe and it’s from 2018. I’m not even going to analyse this.
He was into guns: Not a good point for either side. He hunted. And guns are fun for everyone (as long as they’re regulated and operated safely.)
No one seems to know what the hell Tyler Robinson believed: He’s described as “political” by his family and “MAGA” by his grandma (who said their whole family is MAGA) without any specific examples. His online presence is null.
He was a registered non voter with no affiliation. Important to note here that Nick Fuentes called on his followers not to vote in recent election. But there are plenty of reasons someone might not vote.
A mysteriously anonymous letter from a “friend” was posted and later redacted by The Guardian, claiming he was left wing. Other second hand anecdotes say he was progressive. He supposedly donated money to Trump, but that was (I think?) discredited as someone else with the same name. He apparently hated Charlie Kirk, but that could go both ways.
Conclusion: I don’t fucking know. With partisan politics controlling media, half want him to be a socialist and the other half want him be a right wing extremist. There’s a lot of weak evidence pointing to a right wing extremist which could solidify in the coming days, and I’m open to that. I can see this swinging the other way, too.
I could see debating forever and never really understanding why he did it.
Personally, I’m going to keep a eye out for clear citations linking the messages to any movement if nothing else comes out about his motives. Until then I’m not convinced either way.
You mean Tyler Robinson? Everything I’ve read says he’s an anti-facist. Am I missing something?

Final line: “I hope you die in a raging inferno of pain.”
I’m surprised no one made the same joke first. Guess I’m ahead of the game.
I’m not calling for violence, but I would be so very pleased if we have nazi hunters again.
Not too soon. Just in the neck of time.
But when you lock in to a new rhythm it’s like a mini orgasm in your brain.
Check out my teeny tiny text box.
It’s beautiful, thank you.
Drums. I got a used electronic kit, a lower-end Roland model, and only play it for me. I learned the basic rhythms so I can throw some tunes on my headphones and try to play along. More meditation than anything else.
Didn’t say he was an enemy or a friend. He’s a guy I don’t know who shot someone I don’t like.
