The Destroyer Is In Doubt About Net Neutrality
The Destroyer is not used to questioning the best path to mutually assured destruction.
The Destroyer has begun to believe he can live in a phone, in anyone's pocket, in everyone's incomprehensible dreams.
The Destroyer cultivates frenemies and responds to fan fiction in the third person.
The Destroyer didn't always shake out the keyboard for crumbs in preparation for the apocolypse.
The Destroyer is a moderator and asks irresistible questions. Do you like dogs better than people?
Anything to get people voting against themselves.
The Destroyer's love affair with capitalism is in conflict with free access to disinformation.
The Destroyer stirs the pot and the pot is an ocean and here be pirates and clipper ships and hulls hiding ill-gotten gains.
The Destroyer goes over his data allocation in order to fight with distant call centers in many languages.
The Destroyer believes Grumpy Cat is a manifestation of his existential angst.
The Destroyer watches his hand on a mouse and sees a mountain range belonging to an invisible god.
