Many news websites would not cooperate even with the internet turned off. I spent a long time plugging in content into the NYT’s structure only to have one wrong click erase all my snarky comments. The first alteration I made took a while…they all took me a while I’m getting better at reading the code.
My alteration of The Guardian home page was a dumping of my most impulsive and angry thoughts which should never be shared out loud. Most of these bitchy comments are what might be found in the comment section of any platform containing the news, but I tried to provide some levity that points back to the unhinged and unproductive nature of the commenter.
The facebook alteration is a little more bitter. I imagined the program actually being designed to truthfully reveal it’s entire infrastructure again in an unproductively grouchy way.
My last two alterations were just efforts at silliness and elegance (and I was struggling to place images in the correct locations in my other attempts so I just wanted a big dog tick to take up space and remove the productive uses of the google search).
