Duh moment today. In the phrases "MAG-" and "MAH-" the word "again" does the heavy lifting. I suppose a very hypothetical argument could be made for when America was "great." But when exactly was America ever "healthy"?

....patriarchy is not a side issue, not a “women’s issue” or window dressing for progressive platforms. It is the wellspring of authoritarianism. You cannot fight oligarchy, fascism, the consolidation of power in the hands of a few without also fighting... paultshattuck.substack.com/p/progressiv...

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

It's all blind machismo. If Corina Machado and Delcy Rodriguez were men, this would all go down differently. History will record that they are going to do as much damage to JDT as E Jean Carroll and Virginia Guiffre.

"Mad" always seemed like a quaint phrase. King Lear and Alice in Wonderland. Now it's on the news 24/7.
