Do you ever stop and think about the ways we seep into our personal electronics? There's that old Reddit line (at least I first saw it on Reddit) "If I die, wipe my hard drive," and I really feel that—not even in the sense of having compromising stuff in there, but in that it can provide such an uncomfortably intimate picture of you: all the half-done to-do lists, failed aspirations, and the idiosyncratic way you order your life. These thoughts came unbidden to me when I saw the Casey Jones Podcast on Twitter share their discovery of gigabytes of early 2000s direct-to-DVD gay porn and attending critique on a desktop they found at Goodwill.
So I bought a computer from goodwill for 10 dollars to see if I could revive it, and I did. It’s filled with HUNDREDS of written reviews for gay pornography. I can’t stop laughing pic.twitter.com/MfFn1WOjiUJune 1, 2023
