Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Early-morning thoughts: if the tension between providing medical care and making a profit off of illness seems problematic to you, consider for-profit prisons. They make money when there are more prisoners - and they lobby politicians to create new crimes and lengthen sentences. This must stop.

There’s a colloquial French way of saying “zero fucks given” that translates to “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference.” A Finnish version is “it interests me as much as a kilogram of shit.” But my favourite is from old Greek slang and it goes “flowers on my dick and bees all around.”

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67. The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth. But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon. Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
 “Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

When reactionary centrists say "echo chamber" what they really mean is "non-violent community." Everyone needs a non-violent community, and there is nothing bad or shameful about wanting a place where you won't be harassed, judged, or vilified.
