And one of the bigger flaws of the American Experiment is they (accidentally) made the foundations too hard to change, so we lack the institutional memory to apply lessons learned like _concentrated economic power will undermine everything_.

They are a natural result of unfettered capitalism. We figured that out, once, and reigned them in; but that was generations ago.

BLUESKY HELP Every few days I call my 83 year old grandma with a joke. I am low on jokes. Can you give me a joke to call her with? I will thread some jokes she liked to give you an idea of what lands. If I tell your joke to her I will give you a score out of 10 on how much she laughed.

Everything boils down to finding the right “first people” which is obvious but disheartening.

It's silly how many people are bothering to dunk on this one tweet's misuse of "Olde English". Especially when the source article by a senior writer is so ripe for ridicule. "As befitting a filmmaker who is known for his meticulous attention to detail…actors speaking in Olde English." 😆

As someone who once enjoyed driving 125mph on US interstates, I feel qualified to +1 this. Extra oomph to escape accidents in progress can be good, but there is no reason to enable dangerous sustained speeds.

Romania is lovely and I really appreciate finding milieus that are on the edge of cultural legibility for me. Is this place more like my American Midwest roots? Or Mexico City? Or other Eastern European cities? It is its own place, but also like so many others.

My plan to move public opinion on matters important to me is to spend a portion of my day reposting every article and zinger I see go by that agrees with me to an audience of people who follow me because they find this behavior tolerable. I’m pretty sure this will work eventually.

FWIW, one of the only services I depend on is Feedbin, and they do the email-to-RSS thing. I set up an email alias so switching from one service to another works, but I lose read/fave state.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

it's a very old rule of moderated digital spaces that you need an "i know it when i see it" clause for harassment or else bad actors will aggressively toe the line without ever technically going over. that's why i don't think the "why cant you give me an exact definition" replies will go anywhere

I only knew Hasan Piker, and that’s of course because he’s proven useful for xenophobic dog-whistling by the Fox News set. Probably I won’t care for much of the “content”, but it *does* make me feel out of touch that I know none of them! @garbageday.email hasn't been keeping me up-to-date enough.
