The Black Mirror Halloween Special

It's the Great New Season, Charlie Brooker.

by Dick Bazooka and ANTIcomputer Staff

Last month, Netflix announced that after taking a few years off, Black Mirror would be returning with five new episodes bundled together for a sixth season. Naturally everyone at ANTIcomputer.org was excited for the news and couldn’t wait to set up the old OTA set and watch the latest from Brooker and the Gang.

A:\2x22.exe

Hello there. Welcome back to ANTIcomputer.org, the only site on the internet built without the aid of computers. Each edition is locally-sourced, shade grown, and sustainably-minded media, from analog artisans creating from a cage-free environment. Since 2000 we've been improving our artisan labor practices, and we're proud to say by Q2 2023 we'll be 84% child labor free.

It has been quite a while since our last edition, but times are tough. Due to the supply chain shortages, we've had a hard time keeping supplies. First we were completely out of canvas frames, then we ran out of halftones, and finally we had a major shortage of blue. I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it would be to build anything without blue.

So we ventured out and took the long and arduous trek to the post office, only to find our missing colleague who had been missing since 2x21! We laughed, we cried, we fired him on the spot.

For A:\2x22.exe we've explored some current events and current ideas including the post-C worker pilgrimage back to the office, the Singularity, and how nobody seems to know anything anymore. To help us with those topics, we've included work from two wonderful guest authors: John C. Dvorak and Dick Bazooka.

Lastly, we've vastly upgraded the user experience at the home page. The purpose is to make it easier to navigate, and attract more viewership. I've been reliably informed by the nice people at The Internet that our Instagram page has more followers than Donald Trump and Kanye West. Combined.

ANTI\\nxrm@l.2x21( )

Welcome back to ANTIcomputer.org, the only site on the internet built without the aid of computers. Each edition is locally sourced, fair-trade, and free-range media from a touch-free environment.

Yes, it's been quite some time since our last edition, but we're so committed to staying in, we didn't know it was safe to venture out. While inside, our small group of local analog artisans continued to create. We had so much material, we finally drew straws and sent one unlucky soul to the post office to deliver our work to the internet. We haven't seen him since.

For our Summertime 2x21 Edition, we look forward to this summer by reflecting on last summer, and hope that this season is half as fun and exciting as the last one. At least it would give us all a good excuse to stay in and stay safe and save lives.

Much of the work should be familiar if you've been current on our social media pages on some of the more popular platforms. I'm reliably informed that our content was delivered safely and has received nearly a dozen 'likes'. Whatever those are.

We hope you enjoy every bit of our Summer 2x21 Edition as much as we enjoyed imagining and painting each piece on several massive life-sized canvases, so that you can enjoy it on the phone resting on your knee while you take a shit.

We give, you give. Synchronicity.

ANTI since 2000

Welcome to anticomputer.org, the first website not built with the aid of computers.

Since 2000, we've carefully crafted this site by hand, and personally delivered it to the internet.

Each edition is locally sourced, small-batch media, hand-crafted by analog artisans.

This edition features art from an artist from the Pacific Northwest, who created content with a modern twist on Macintosh aesthetic, entitled 1984.

We hope you enjoy every bit of our edition as much as we enjoyed sketching and illustrating each square inch which, to you, is likely represented by a pixel.

We've recently created accounts on some of the most popular social media platforms on the internet today. And like with anticomputer.org, we send all of our content to these platforms personally.

We hope that you'll frequent anticomputer.org regularly, checking back for new and exciting content. We'll be updating this just as fast as we can, provided we have enough ink, paint, and canvas, and the post office is still running.

End times, civil civil war, and ticking our buttholes with the feather duster of nostalgia
