I just put on a movie because Prime told me it was being removed in 19 minutes. Thing is, I’m not concerned that I’m vulnerable to such suasion; I’m worried that I’m feeling combative with a technology platform. “Don’t tell me how to live!”

Agreed. Problem: liberalism (small-L) tends towards dissolving the bonds of affinities people feel with respect to such groups, them being un-natural impositions on one's liberty. If said groups are important for the actual politics of promoting liberal policies (They are.) then there is a tension.

Jesus that’s a lot of drones

An image of a clear night sky showcasing countless stars scattered across a dark backdrop. Prominent celestial objects include bright stars and star clusters, likely part of well-known constellations. The image conveys a serene and expansive view of the universe, with faint variations in light intensity suggesting a hint of the Milky Way. The bottom edge of the image shows a subtle gradient, potentially indicating the horizon or light pollution.

Just tried to watch the new Aaron Rodgers show on Netflix, and only when I pulled it up did the magnificence of the title set it: “Enigma” He’s not an enigma; he’a a shithead. That’s not the same thing. I burst out laughing. Frankly, got my money’s worth. Can’t wait until the next episode.

“We need to support the Kurds because they’re on the right side of the medieval Holy War” wasn’t the support for ethical anarchistic libertarian communitarian democratic confederalism premised on environmentalist and feminist philosophies that I might have been hoping for.

I do find myself wondering whether the term "fast faith," like fast food or fast fashion, actually rather nicely captures a strain of contemporary American religion that is theologically impoverished, but rich in cultural politics and lifestyle identification.

I described it as that babies are just the most incompetent people on earth. Eating? They mistake disembodied rubber nipples for food and will suck on them for hours. Breathing, terrible at it. Holding their head up, no clue what they are doing. Remembering things they can’t see exist, can’t.
