I have this theory that tech will destroy civilization - just not the way you think. Tech has become a ubiquitous part of life. It's shopping, dating, friendship, logistics, and more. But the tech, thanks to AI, is becoming less reliable via tech debt. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/maxmurph...

The president of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis wore his wife’s clothes. Adolf Hitler liked getting pooped on. Trump did God knows what in those Epstein files. These people are insecure, little perverts and always have been.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

there’s a stark contrast where typical liberals in the democratic party would deride you when you told them democrats were feckless losers that always capitulate, all these people seem to also be mad at the democratic party now. this is a great change. the party establishment needs to go

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

My mom is a hardcore trumper: -Bought trump coin at the top -Is likely going to losing her federally funded job -Also losing her state pension she needed 18 more months to qualify for She still supports him. Still. Trump was right when he said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue.

I was 19 when I faced death for the first time—my father drank himself to death. It shattered me, leaving me lost in an endless void of questions. Ernest Becker helped me find meaning again. I created an illustrated essay to share that light w others lost in the dark 🧵 #comedy #philosophy #comics
In The Denial of Death, Ernest Becker argues that life is basically a meaningless march
toward an inevitable end.
It's a bit of a sick joke: awareness of your life also means awareness of
your death.

A two panel comic strip.

Panel 1: A light gray human shape (like a thicc stick figure) labelled "THE WEALTHY ELITE" reaches greedily, mouth open in excitement, towards a large floating yellow ball that is labelled "A SECOND GILDED AGE"

Panel 2: same as above, but behind the gray figure (who now has a sweat drop to indicate nervousness on its head) is a VERY large pink blob labelled "THE RETURN OF OUTLAW FOLL HEROES" with one arm wrapped around the gray figure, expression quietly threatening
