@grumpasaurus are you not entertained?

I really struggle with this question, myself, even though I know the answer by heart: "Did you join this discussion to learn? To listen? To understand other perspectives? Or are you here to berate us and recite your talking points over and over? Are you more interested in fighting over who is right than actually communicating?"

Citizens United, or as I like to call it, "the worst SCOTUS decision since slavery". Infinite money in politics turns out to be a massive self-own on democracy. Lawrence Lessig, you are an incredible person doing amazing work, and I love you, man.. but .. I don't know how we can realistically dig ourselves out of this pit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

The math of concentrated, exponential growth is brutal and merciless. More begets more, but only for a tiny few.

"... the reality is stark. According to the 2024 Knight Frank Wealth Report, there are about 225,000 individuals in the U.S. with net assets of $30 million or more, just 0.07% of the population. Far from expanding opportunity, this excessive wealth locks millions out of the chance to innovate and build, weakening growth for all." https://time.com/7325632/universal-basic-income-millionaire/

@adamshostack ok this was really good

If you need someone to yell at the rich white people, I am all in. Call me maybe?

Had a great call with Mastodon today! Happy to support a non-profit open source project that gives us, the users, control. Cheers. And thanks for this cute elephant in the room! @Gargron @mellifluousbox @renchap

Where do the bad rainbows go?
Prism.
They get a light sentence.
It gives them time to reflect. 🌈

TL;DR we need a LOT more therapy for a LOT more people. Also, better, less abusive parenting for all children, everywhere. There ya go. That's my most charitable, positive interpretation possible of this statement.

I don't want to name any names, but my gut feeling on the "I can't love this person" is usually on target. For example, I knew from day zero that DHH was not a good person. I won't mention any others, but if you follow my blog, you can probably think of a few others that I was right about, too. https://blog.codinghorror.com/douchebaggery/

I can be very charming, the Atwood Love Assault is quite a thing to experience. But the unavoidable flip side of this is that if I do not like you, you will DEFINITELY know that, too. That said, I do try very very hard to love everyone unless they give me good reasons not to.

Guess which muppet was my favorite as a kid?

“Hold on I can’t board the flight yet, I need to write ALT text for these images first! Wait!!”

The Getty Museum in LA (we had never been) was great fun. Recognize this classic meme artist? I did immediately!

@gknauss also, our team has Taco socks. And it’s Tuesday. 🌮🤘

We donated $1m to Wikipedia and all I got was this stupid staring contest. But I WON! Take that Jimmy!!
