Does that blog post have a glowing smiley face with "A BUNCH OF N***ERS" written in on it in pixelated text?

Would think twice about linking that one in polite company.

In case it is pertinent for anyone clicking, the source article does not censor the text, but it is a little blurry in the image.

Not defending it, but the meme itself is derivative quote from the developer of TempleOS. He suffered from Schizophrenia and believed the CIA was tracking him. He believed you could tell a CIA agent due to them glowing, and would refer to them as "glowy nwords" very regularly.

The term "glowy" has taken on a life of its own despite the original context. The image itself is from it's 4chan days. Probably poor taste to include a version with Terry's full quote.

Hot damn, I did not notice the Terry Davis meme on the blog post had that. I wonder if they noticed the font at all or not.

Didn't notice it, to be honest.

No, it doesn't, and honestly, your comment comes off as trying to steer people away from clicking the link and learning the actual point of what's being linked to.
