Keeping profanity in the title like last week, Fuck yeah Keming is the title of a new blog that I started, a celebration of horrendous kerning all over the internet.
I decided to start a Fuck Yeah blog because I, perhaps immaturely, think that putting “Fuck yeah” in front of stuff makes it at least twice as cool. A day later someone on twitter said I should’ve named it “FLIck Yeah Keming” and have a double keming, which would’ve been even better if it wasn’t slightly confusing. Still, a missed opportunity.
Anyway, as I hadn’t announced it on my own blog yet, here is a copy of the introduction post I made on the blog:

Keming is a term coined by Ironic Sans. I am not associated with them, but they have an awesome shirt available.

Facebook Messenger always has a sidebar with all your recent chats, including…
Many of the “smart” chatbots with Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence still have a hard time keeping a conversation going. They keep forgetting whatever it was you were talking about even if you can see it plainly in the message right above! …
