ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 26/08/2026A great description I've heard of the stock market is that it's a mood ring for rich people. The investor class seems to have latched onto a handful of key things like AI and seem to feel comfortable ignoring the rest. It's bizarre 001

ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 19/03/2026A weird thing about rich people is that they only ever want to spend other people's money. If he spent his own, he'd be less rich! Can't have that 031

ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 30/11/2025It's also a reflection of their wishful thinking about the "strong floor" - that various classes (women, unions, Hispanics, etc) will automatically vote for them, so there's no point doing anything to keep that vote - gotta go after your racist uncle instead 061

ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Legit curious if a notable number of users actually asked for AI anything. Having to sift through about:config to turn off obscure settings isn't really the same as having a choice, especially if the settings get changed back if some MBA decides usage isn't high enough. 0301
ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 09/09/2025A nice thing about Masto is that likes are likes, and the poster sees them, but bookmarks are just for you, and nobody else sees them.

ellio-p.bsky.social @ellio-p.bsky.social · 17/06/2025To me the important question is "how do we shepherd useful candidates through the system to victory in the next 2 elections" - today's democratic party isn't doing it. A splinter republican party would be a big help. Without that, in 3.5 years the election is more of a formality. 000
