I know it's an aside, but "Why won't you just let me buy this? I'm trying to give you my money" was an insanely prescient sentiment about how the internet was about to change the economy. I say some version of it on a weekly basis.

Blanche’s written update to the slush fund and IRS immunity for Trump is nothing more than a shell game. My thoughts in @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Trump Still Has That IRS Immunity. Don’t Be FooledActing Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assurance to senators about the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and President Trump’s immunity with the Internal Revenue Service is nothing more than a ho...www.bloomberg.com
I'm reminded that previously the state with the highest vaccination rate was Mississippi. I suspect their populace were told by health officials to do it and they did. When told by govt leaders and influencers not to, it creates dissonance.
everyone forgot this! doctors and nurses got sick and died because of this theft! bsky.app/profile/cras...

Thinking about @izzykamikaze.bsky.social way back in Ep4 of the Echo Chamber pod saying “okay, not all men. But if it’s 2 in 10 men, and they each harass 4 women, then it is almost all women” a lot the last few days. She was right then. She’s right now.
You guys, nominating the person who earned the most votes is now an “ideological purity test.”
these dumb fucking skanks man if my entire career path was ‘whining that trans women might be better than me at something’ i wouldn’t be able to sleep for the shame of it

Since 2016 I've had a few encounters with Johnson at synthetic-biology/biohacker events. I wrote about them & the more general phenomenon of fear of death among the so-called 'tech elite' & tech-based approaches to dealing with it in this essay for In Formation magazine last year.

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

my biggest conspiracy theory is that paypal is at the center of evil. elon musk, peter thiel, and bryan johnson, that billionaire that consumes his sons blood, all were in early paypal
OTOH if Trump can convince hedge-fund managers to pay $100,000 a month for an early look at slop like this, well, what the hell. Go for it.

Another data center approved on public lands. This 86-acre Townsite data center is next to Lake Mead, which supplies 90% of the water used by 2.3 million people in Nevada. Not only does it threaten to contaminate the existing water, but will also drain the falling water table that has dropped 160 ft

Fascists will gleefully take from you your ability to accurately describe a thing as experienced. They will poison your language so you cannot talk about your experience in general and of their violence in specific. Given this, why would I comply by accepting their poisoned meaning of words?
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Every time there's a headline like this, it's suburban store owners who themselves drive to work and can't imagine anyone getting there any other way.
David RobertsGod this is infuriating. The sense of entitlement among US drivers is completely out of control.
