If you can’t think of anyone better you should fucking resign right now. Yesterday before you said something so stupid would be better.

Underbaked sounds about right. But it’s powerful as hell. I love having music everywhere all at once. I mostly use it with Navidrome and it works a treat. But using YouTube music is a little touch and go.

We’ll have drag performers form a bucket brigade of fishnet stockings to keep everyone safe.

Just in case you’re being flippant (I can’t tell if you are and it seems like you’re being light-hearted), I thought it might be good to remind everyone that Palantir now has all of the data from the CDC. As well, Peter Theil is a major investor in AbCellera Biogenics among others. The techno feudalists have the desire and quite possibly the ability to start wiping out chunks of the population.

I have no idea if they’re putting that desire into motion but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did.

Just tossing it out there, maybe we should take a look at the silicon valley techno feudalists.

I’m no politician. I’m just a fella. I think that beer should be cold and boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad. And freedom, well, that’s just a little bit better.

I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this pain and frustration. Like others said, I think therapy would really go far in your life. You need someone to safely talk to and get feedback. Positive feedback especially when it’s warranted.

All of these things are temporary. The world sucks right now, it won’t always. Parts (hell maybe all) of your life sucks but it won’t always. Everything changes, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, sometimes you’re in control of the change sometimes you’re not. I know it probably feels permanent and probably feels like it’s always been bad but that’s your brain lying to you because you’re feeling shitty. It’s a feedback loop. It’s absolutely fixable as are a lot of the issues you’ve listed. It’s okay sometimes for today to suck. Because that makes tomorrow more vibrant. It makes you more compassionate because you’ve been there. Just please remember, how you’re feeling and how you’re seeing the world is temporary.

I have been wondering about this. Many ships have gotten through during the US “blockade”. I wonder if our Navy captains didn’t refuse some obviously illegal orders and the lack of food is punishment.

Honestly a lot of Mexican food looks kind of rough. Molé sauce looks like something you’d have to eat during a fraternity hazing. Birria, looks greasy and almost violently red. Nachos even, are not the most appealing food. But they’re all amazing. So much flavor. The texture is exquisite despite appearances. Largely we’ve learned to maybe adapt our visual palates, I feel.

Whether you directly use these things or not you benefit from them. Schools train people in the services you use or employ. Roads get all of your goods and services to you. You are not an island.

How much should we bet that Russia isn’t also funding CPAC?

I don’t have good articles to share on this. I feel like a lot of what I’ve read is scattered data largely. But this is the single best source I’ve seen as she brings the receipts with the actual tech bros literally talking about their plans for years.

Close the iris!

In this specific current case, imagine collapsing the economy is the point and purpose.

In previous decades, instability always benefits businesses. Laid off people are hungry and will take the same jobs for less pay.

This is the techno feudalism version of that.

When it’s more than 8 I think the plural noun is a murder of earthquakes

The fuck is this? A Decepticon?

That is exactly what I would argue. And many others of course. That’s the “well regulated” purpose. They didn’t mean a bunch of fucking idiots with a fetish. They meant the people could always band together to fight for their freedoms. Because the nation didn’t have a standing army at the time. It was a volunteer militia that gained the freedoms to begin with.

There are a lot of people who want this level of destabilization and interruption of goods and energy security. Techno feudalists want this. Trump needs to feel powerful, so someone like Peter Theil who is trying to bring about Armageddon could easily convince Trump that this move makes him look powerful instead of a target by the rest of the world.

It doesn’t really matter, if any part of it gets built, we’re going to tear it right the fuck down.
