Rue @rue63.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I think he’s a symptom of our problems. If we allow politics to be reduced to those of consumption, we’re reinforcing an individual-centric culture that equates wealth with morality and genius, and conflates style with substance.

Rue @rue63.bsky.social · 07/08/2026It seems obvious to me, at least, that treating education as purely a tool for job training is incredibly short sighted.
