Thank you!

Post surgery sick leave. My body is still a bit fucked but it’s also the most time off I’ve had in one go in years.

When Elon Musk experiments by taking a day off ketamine.

Can you tell us how the Dems are going to reform the voting system so that people’s choices are fairly represented? No? They have no plans for that because they perceive themselves as beneficiaries of a broken electoral system? Wow it’s almost as if they’re self interested crooks themselves

Edit: people downvoting this are the same people who’d hear about coca cola paramilitaries in South America and then switch to Fanta, thinking they’re voting with their wallets

At some point, a bunch of tech bros out there are going to happily put neural interfaces directly in their skulls (probably by deregulated cranial technicians with dirty hands) that will plug them into the marketing and skills dependency directly.

Technically correct because greed is the cause of capitalism. But don’t be fooled into thinking there’s a long term, greed restrained capitalism that is going to work out for us; wealth is power. With sufficient wealth, a man can raise an army.

As soon as you allow him to accumulate it, you raise the possibility that he will buy your politicians and corrupt your citizens through amplifying his messages to make society ever greedier in his image. He will hire people to make unlawful works, and pay the fines and dodge the court room.

When you resist this corruption, they respond with fascism.
