Silicon Valley and dehumanization. Name a more iconic duo. Seriously, though. Every part of the human estate that technologists touch turns to shit or gets pilfered. Throw this on the pile.
Radio City Music Hall. Art deco exaltation.
I was really gobsmacked listening to the Ultra podcast by Rachel Maddow about Nazis infiltrating the government during WWII. The parallels were so frighteningly similar to today, but in a way reassuring in that some things never change. There will always be schmucks in politics trying to ruin everyone’s time. The struggle for decency is perennial.
Fun fact: Former 3M CEO Jim McNerney was later the CEO of Boeing. He cut his teeth at McKinsey, of course.
Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” comes to mind.
Yes I was a big fan of Obama the orator, but Obama the politician was completely incompetent. The other side mopped the floor with his whole 8 years. I really Hope™️ we’re not going to do that again.
If Americans are too poor to shop at the dollar store, I guess we might actually have to eat the rich.
We’ve known this since February 2022 when the Russians were shooting at the goddamned Zaporizhzhia power plant. It was on fucking live TV. Nuclear terrorists, the lot of them. Disgusting pieces of shit.
No it’s Russia-contempt. I have contempt for the Russian regime and sympathy for its citizens. We all suffer to some degree because of Putin’s criminal regime of nihilist miscreants; they’re deserving of a full measure of contempt.
No we haven’t. There’s still that big ELECTION we have to win. Please vote on November 5th so we can reach the other end of the bridge.
For what it’s worth, I used to work for the former Boeing CEO who blew up the company. He seemed unrepentant. Totally just a normal dude having a normal time. His WIFE however. Holy shit was she a ball of anxiety. She was so anxious she would give her elderly dog drugs to “calm him down.” The lady was a wreck.
By forcing the town to endure something they clearly and repeatedly rejected, it’s sort of like Starbucks is molesting the town with an unwanted incursion. Maybe they could forgo store #798,463,299
She doesn’t lose. We lose. She’s so bad at politics that America itself loses whenever she plays the game. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so consequential.
Jill Stein is either the dumbest person in America, or she’s being paid by Russia. God I wonder which it is.
I’m enjoying Ultra. It’s about Nazi infiltration of the government during WWII. It’s very well done.
Also, Lawfare and the related podcasts are never miss for me.
That’s a terrifying fact about your legal system.
To decent people, their regularly scheduled programming should be Kompromat enough.
Have they asked Charles Koch and the other oil men to sit for this experiment? They should have a taste of the future they’re forcing us to endure.
