>Some categories everyone accepts shouldn't be working: children, students, retirees, new parents, the sick, and the disabled. There are plenty of people who do not accept this. We…

Yesterday they were expecting the report to show 80k+ jobs added. So, this is much, much worse than expected. The market is up because they expect this will keep the fed from raisi…

Jeff Bezos will be happy to let you rent one from him. He's said this is how he envisions the future of personal computing. You will own nothing, and so on.

This is so colossally stupid, even by MAGA standards. We're literally spending billions to make things worse, because apparently any form of renewable energy makes the frogs gay or…

It doesn't help that we've been drowning in propaganda that says "capitalism = freedom" and "socialism = oppression" since forever.

I don't have to worry about this because almost no one ever reads anything I write. Even if they did, I don't give a shit.

I'm convinced most Americans have no idea what socialism means, or even what capitalism means.

Zuckerberg should thrown in prison.

Oh look, a new note taking app. Must be Wednesday.

https://bookwyrm.social/ is exactly that. It's often sluggish, and not the best UX, but it's usable. I'm hoping it continues to improve.

What are you even talking about? People have been trying to "solve" aging since forever. You are mad that not every single person is dedicated to this one issue? If it's so bloody …

If the past decade has taught me anything, it's that today's satire is tomorrow's reality.

100% yes, it has. I used to post under my real name, but when Trump was re-elected I deleted all my old social media accounts and created this pseudonym. Even still, I don't say ev…

"Orion Everywhere You Are!" Unless you are on on Android, I guess.

6 days and 3 posts? What did you expect to get out of that? Some people spend years building an audience. I don't know why you would think you can do it in 6 days with barely any e…

The inclusion of DOGE's bogus "savings" data renders this whole thing suspect to me.

Good.

Oh, I see. So, it's not another forever war. It's just the second of an unlimited number of short, 2-month wars. Got it.

What gives you the idea that they want to distribute the gains from AI equitably?

I would suggest you begin by researching the actual history of luddites.

I didn't even finish the article because this sort of thing pisses me off too much.

I hope they lose and it bankrupts them. I'd like to see Zuckerberg thrown in prison. However, I would like to know what happens that $1.4T? Like, do the states that sued just add i…

This is only part of the picture. Part of the reason houses are so much larger today is cultural, but I would argue a larger part is that economies of scale scale make it more prof…

The median monthly rent for houses and apartments in the U.S. in 1970 was $108, or around $930 in today's dollars. So, in today's dollars, that would be $11,160/year. Median househ…

I will surely get down-voted for this, but at this point if you buy a Tesla you get what you fucking deserve.
