Keeping this account strictly for lulz. It makes even less sense to be under the “hakujins” name than the twitter account it used to be linked to. I had another one under “jimhaku” (I guess) that I’m sure I had excellent and well thought-out reasons for deleting. I think it was one of those sites that didn’t seem like it would last for legal reasons (like the original muxtape) but they seem to have gotten around it by linking mostly to youtubes that get deleted a week later (seems to happen less with more legit accounts/faster deletions you never even see/people wising up and ordering less takedowns). Anyway, I rejoined because a few people kept using the thing pretty decently and bookmarking one of these pages feels pretty dumb (do they even have feeds?). Namely, there’s Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelly and sometimes Sonic Youth producer John Agnello, who I used to see all the time in Jersey City and never knew who he was but he just seems like one of those guys, “who is that guy? I that guy…some guy? I should know that guy.” Like he looks like a guy from a band you saw once but can’t remember the name. Except he’s not in a band. Or maybe he was but now he just records other bands. One a those guys. Maybe Steve Shelly reblipped him and there’s his pic, I dunno how I figured it out.

So my early blips are all Principle Skinner quotes for some reason, then it became other Simpson characters, but only ones voiced by Harry Shearer, then quotes from other Harry Shearer acting roles, then briefly quotes from his radio show or maybe just stuff he said randomly in an interview or something. Seemed funny at the time. This was before I realized you could post without commenting at all. Most people get pretty silly with trying to be profound or quoting lyrics, I dunno.

You’ve also got Giant Robot’s Martin Wong on here holding things down. Lotta people have ditched the thing, just unfollowed a bunch that were dormant. Seems a lot of people joined just to have an account there but it hasn’t become a big thing so they don’t bother. I think it’s in a steady nerd-niche state. I don’t have it linked to twitter anymore because I think it must be just annoying to people that don’t use it. Why did it even keep working after I changed my twitter name? I guess I won’t use it for RIP posts at all anymore. Better to keep them all in one place. (Is this anything but pure asshole shit with the self-links? Seriously what am I doing.)
