A Simple Question for the Hacks at ZDNet

Ignoring, for the moment, the ques­tion of why a tech blog needs a “gov­ern­ment” beat — explain to me how this worth­less tripe even vaguely qual­i­fies as “gov­ern­ment.” You cant, can you, you worth­less link-baiting shit weasels.

Dave Winer on Gender Relations

December 22nd, 2010, by The Angry Drunk

I hon­estly don’t know what it is about New Media Douchebags that com­pels them to com­ment on shit that they have no busi­ness pon­tif­i­cat­ing about (ok, I lie. I know exactly what com­pels them). Nonetheless, they seem inca­pable of refrain­ing. Today I noticed that one of my favorite know-nothing loud­mouths, Dave “Get Off My Lawn” Winer, decided to bless us with his pow­er­ful wis­dom regard­ing the accu­sa­tions of rape being lev­eled against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. I’m not of a mind to debate the ethics of WikiLeaks, and I’m cer­tainly not qual­i­fied to dis­cuss mat­ters of Swedish jurispru­dence. If read­ing The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is any indi­ca­tor, Swedish law is fun­da­men­tally weird. However, Dave’s dis­jointed and facile com­ments need addressing.

Bash on Dash

John Welch, my Angry Mac Bastards cohort, does a fine job of decon­struct­ing Anil Dash’s lat­est pile of dri­vel regard­ing cyber­bul­ly­ing. John cov­ers most of the points that I would have made, albeit with less use of the phrase “igno­min­ious snot-muffin” than I would have, but there is one point that he didn’t expand on as much as I think is needed.

One for the Bucket-List, I Witness A “Scandal” Being Born

October 7th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk
NMD

Today I had the priv­i­lege of wit­ness­ing some­thing rarely glimpsed in the wild. An event so rare it’s akin to see­ing a snow leop­ard (the cat, not the oper­at­ing sys­tem) per­form a back-flip. For the first time in my career I was present at the exact moment that a New Media Douchebag attempted to start another lame Apple “scandal.”

Revolutions in New Media Douchebaggery

September 29th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk
NMD

There was an exam­ple of nar­cis­sis­tic New Media Douchebag fuck­wit­tery this week that actu­ally forced me to pause, take a break to record this weeks Angry Mac Bastards pod­cast, and come back to the fes­ter­ing pit of stu­pid just so that my blood pres­sure didn’t spike so high that my eye­balls popped out of their sock­ets. And what, you might ask, was the dim-witted doltish­ness that caused such a reac­tion? Well, ’twas the infu­ri­at­ingly self-absorbed response by Anil Dash to Malcom Gladwell’s recent arti­cle in The New Yorker titled “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted.”

What New Media Douchebags Know About Economics…

September 28th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk
NMD

…col­lec­tively couldn’t fill a thim­ble. Witness a recent dose of insi­pid­ity from Seth Grodin, who is some sort of mar­ket­ing guru or some such twad­dle. Seth makes the argu­ment that we are cur­rently expe­ri­enc­ing two reces­sions. One, the cycli­cal eco­nomic one that all sane peo­ple mean when they say “reces­sion,” and one that is noth­ing less than the death of the Industrial Era.

Yeah, it’s a Dave Winer fes­ti­val around here lately. What can I say, the crazy old fucker keeps hand­ing me easy mate­r­ial. Today’s gem is Ol’ Man Winer’s first ever post on net neu­tral­ity, coin­ci­den­tally titled: My first piece on “net neutrality”

Reboot RSS Straight Up Your Ass

September 14th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk
NMD

If there is one thing that New Media Douchebags love to do more than every­thing else it’s reboot­ing shit. Why should gov­ern­ment and indus­try lead­ers pay atten­tion to actual experts when they have the never end­ing cesspool of wis­dom from the likes of Anil Dash, Robert Scoble and Dave Winer to pull from? And if you’re Dave “get off my lawn, and by lawn I mean RSS” Winer, then you absolutely want to “reboot” RSS. Thus we have a post from last Monday on Scripting News titled How to reboot RSS.

Dave You Ignorant Slut

Sometimes the New Media Douchebag cir­cus is too good for the freak-show and needs to be in the main ring. Case in point, today’s twad­dle from Dave “Cranky-Pants” Winer, Dear Apple, re your boy­cott of Flash. Ooh, goody, goody gum­drops. It’s crit­i­cism in epis­tle form; my favorite thing.
