Sure, there were a few monsters who fell into the early internet because it offered them a chance to torment strangers at a distance, but they were vastly outnumbered by the legion of Tron-pilled nerds who wanted to make the internet better because we wanted all our normie friends to have the same kind of good time we were having. The point of this is that there were lots of people back then who had the capacity to imagine the kind of gross stuff that Zuckerberg, Musk, and innumerable other scammers, hustlers and creeps got up to on the web. The thing that distinguished these monsters wasn't their genius – it was their callousness. When we brainstormed ways to break the internet, we felt scared and were inspired to try to save it. When they brainstormed ways to break the internet, they created pitch-decks.

It Was Worse Than We Thought: Kristi Noem’s Husband Saga Gets Darker
the Daily Mail obtained dozens of recordings and messages revealing that Bryon Noem had had a secret nine-year online relationship with a left-wing dominatrix named Shy Sotomayor, who works under the name Raelynn Riley.
Sotomayor recalls being surprised that he chose a female name so similar to that of his wife, Kristi, who is known for drastic changes in her own appearance, or so-called MAGA makeover, before and during her 13 months in Trump's Cabinet. ’I was just jaw to the floor, thrown for a loop that he wanted to be called that, so close to her name, when he could have gone with Stephanie or something,' she said. Once they reconnected last fall, Sotomayor said, it became clear that her client wanted frequent, near-daily sessions with an intensity that far exceeded their earlier correspondence. Their conversations in November alone cost him about $7,600, she noted.
Their conversations continued through Kristi's Senate hearings and the ICE shootings in Minneapolis. They kept going past March 5, when President Donald Trump fired Kristi from the Cabinet, and their last contact came March 22, when Sotomayor finally drew a line; his neediness had worn her out.
