Paint Drying

Another long week at work. There seems to be too much to do and not enough time in which to get it done. It looks like the story of Hillary Clinton using campaign funds to support professional political punditry on social media has broke. Not surprising, of course. I still have a running capture that’s ongoing, but I’ll need to think of the most effective way to parse the data before I write about it. Analyzing social media has been fun for quite a while, so the extra dimension of politics should produce interesting results. I’m absolutely planning on compiling an entry with all the harassment I’ve had come my way from Hillary supporting psychopaths. I suppose strong delusion makes for some pretty intense attacks. Nearly two thirds of the animosity originated from the forty-plus age group. No surprise there. I’m sure many of them blithely cheered Bill on, even during NAFTA and the DMCA. I haven’t had much spare time to update anything online, even writing this is a challenge. Life has been ridiculously busy lately. I’m sure things will calm down again soon. Maybe I’ll get a minute to start poking at my data. Truthfully, I think the only blog entry you can expect in the near future will be my collection of hate messages. I’m certainly not going to expose the few who were kind, though, but rest assured that not everyone is an asshole like you or I.

FAQ

I feel obliged to clarify things, since you’re all not very bright. Either that, or you’re on the verge of illiteracy. Either is likely, I’m sure. In any case, here goes.

Intention

No, I’m not looking to “dox” anyone. I’m not stalking. I’m doing what millions of other individuals and corporations do on a daily basis; I’m dipping my net into the stream of garbage that is social media.

In fact, there’s only one reason you should be afraid of me. If you’re accepting money to promote candidates in elections; You have every right to be afraid.

Response

I’ve been getting a number of complaints lately about my Open Source Intelligence gathering so I figured I would address everyone’s concerns with this single blog update.

Fuck you.

You democrat pieces of shit did nothing to prevent the Patriot Act. You’ve done nothing to hinder the NSA’s domestic spying programs. You’ve even called Ed Snowden and Chelsea Manning “terrorists”.

So I’m going to give you a taste of your own medicine. Every piece of shit halfwit “semi-Republican” I see who seriously doesn’t think Hillary is a bad person can live with the fact that I’m watching all their interactions with others on social media. I’m tracking you by your ID number in case you decide to change your username. I’m watching every geolocation tagged tweet, every reference to your daily lives, I’m going to scrutinize everything you do. I’ll create histograms to display the hours you’re most active. Are you an insomniac? Are you collecting disability? Are you tweeting all day at work? I’ll know more about you than you ever wanted anyone to know.

Politics

I never wanted to get into politics, I’ve enjoyed abstaining for a long time. It had only become complicated when pieces of legislation like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act managed to sluice through the cracks and fuck up my life. Yes, this act directly effects me. Yes, it’s detrimental to my lifestyle. It’s detrimental to my data aggregation habits.

In any case, I’m voting for Bernie for some pretty damned decent reasons. He’s totally opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership; a horror-show of 7,000 pages dedicated to NAFTA-esque freebies for exporting U.S. jobs. Bernie also supports net neutrality. Why would he support net neutrality, you ask? Nearly all the momentum that has propelled him in this election originated from free and democratic access to the internet. The idea that I should have to pay extra to AT&T or Comcast for people to access my Twitter feed at a reasonable speed is not only asinine, it’s unconstitutional.

More Accounts Crop Up

It looks like more anti-Bernie twitter accounts are starting to fill up some choice hash tags mentioned in my previous post. Maybe we can figure out if some of these people are paid shills, or if they’re actually this delusional.

Right off the bat it looks like @CraigCrawlspace is a paid shill or a bot. @demliberalways is also highly suspect. Lastly, @danielsloebey is absolutely a paid shill.

Anti-Progress Sentiments

It looks like there are more “Anti-Bernie” twitter users now than there ever have been. So, now more than ever, I’m interested in watching them. I collected a handful of users active on #NotUsMe, #VetBernie, #VettingBernie, and #BernedOut.

It certainly looks like a few of them are just paid shills.

But, just in case, I’ve thrown together a quick script to convert their User IDs to ID numbers. That way, if any of these anti-bernie assholes ever change occupations (other than bashing Bernie), we can still observe them knowing full well what they’re about.

Trump Deletes Racist Tweets

Apparently Donald Trump unleashed a little racism on twitter before thinking twice and deleting the offending tweets. Veracity of claims shown here has not been confirmed, but I haven’t seen a “Donalt Trump tweet generator” in Spanish, so I’m inclined to believe it.

Trump is Racist 1

Trump is Racist 2
