Everything is shitty, the great enshittification is complete, and no way to reverse it except deeply remaking society without billionaires.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

I’ve seen a flat tummy before. Also flabby. Both very attractive models compared to the upset version.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

AI will do the heavy lifting and then these folks will decide whether to add the offending post to the Palantir list. Palantir will then keep score and look for related people. That’s an opposition targeting system.

A kid ran into a psychology class in a large lecture hall at the University of Washington making a Nazi salute and shouting slurs.

The WHOLE class chased him through campus.

Here is the FAFO POV. And below is the class’s view.

There is a hierarchy of rights in the conservative mind:

Guns > religion > political(money)speech > everything else

Gloria Pan @glopan.bsky.social · 20d

WTF. So gun rights violating private property rights is up for consideration?

We are already not free to move around our communities due to potential gun violence, and they want to force places like Starbucks to let in firearms.

2A is trampling our liberties and freedoms.

Paul Simon’s Concert in the Park is still an incredible listen. Soft, fast, dancy, rhythmic, emotional. There is so much in there.
