Oliver Tree has reportedly died at the age of 32. He was among 5 others that died in an air vehicle crash in Rio.

I feel like what has happened in melee to me lately is a manifestation of problems that have existed for a long time. I don't expect this to change anything. I wrote it for closure so I could move on knowing I did everything I could and to say goodbye. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Ethan Klein posts a leak about his kid from a discord

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text its called asciline, and here's the trick: > the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets > the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p > ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch > it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

It took me a while to say this, but after seeing years of @MoistCr1TiKaL fence sit and utter the least offensive takes possible, I’m just going to say it. Charlie is a pussy. He has absolutely no backbone. The Klein family has been the subject of attacks for years and ever since October 7, the antisemitism against them increased significantly. Keep in mind, Ethan has been very critical of Israel but it’s not enough for the snarkers. Charlie knows this, unless he’s been living under a rock for the past few years. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s his reality. I’m so tired of seeing this guy drop the most lukewarm takes possible. What an absolute pussy. I commented on his latest video last night and what I learned was disturbing. His fans genuinely don’t understand how Ethan has a case against Ian. I doubt they know that it will be litigated in Canada. I doubt they understand how differently Canada treats speech as opposed to the US. They don’t possess the ability to critically think. They are all just parroting the same talking points. His bubble in the commentary space might be the least educated out of all of the platforms combined and that’s saying something because there are some genuinely brain dead content creators out there. Oh and fuck @theneedledrop. He’s a pussy too.
