      Here's the perfectly SFW link to the analysis. Also, after the inevitable few jokes, the comment thread is fighting over how to correctly statistically interpret the 23 percent traffic that survived the incoming ballistic missile alert. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.pornhub.com/insights/hawaii-alert …

      If I may turn talk of nuclear annihilation and pornography into a discussion of philosophy of technology (yes, yes I can😬), there's a lot of tech theory that assumes new kinds of humans. In reality, technology most changes the game board, not the players per se. From my book:pic.twitter.com/2xBgy98F7x

          Please start that discussion. It would be timely to know that nuclear bombs, C3I & pornography being in our thoughts at the same time is not simply an accident of the media news cycle.

          The Klokers & ctheory used to do this in the 90s using Virilio & Baudrillard. But we need a new conversation for the absurdities of today.
