I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today.

“I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

The same AI companies who think we will love and pay for slop, also think we will love and pay for surveillance tech in our homes, listening to our conversations and watching us sleep.

I think maybe they’re the bad guys? And their ideas are obviously fucked up and out of touch, and villainous?

How do you tarrif a person?
They’ve all gone mad.

Tech bros think an ideal life looks like being a baby bird having all your needs met by a robot directly regurgitating pre-chewed and semi-digested reality into your mouth.

I do think it’s telling to observe WHO thinks they “need” more exposure to people with very different opinions from their own.

A lot of people on this website get plenty of “alternative” opinions on their humanity and equality by the simple expedient of just walking around outside.
It’s weird to assume that certain people *need* exposure to people who disagree with them, as if I could go a day in my life w/o encountering that shit and that my actual survival doesn’t depend on knowing what assholes think.

Take the incense, ram of rams; it pricks up your phallus. Ram ejaculator transcended by the odour of incense, you inseminate the women, you create an embryo for the infertile woman. (OGC)

by any conceivable measure SNAP is one of the best programs we have, keeps countless people from food insecurity, and every dollar spent goes back into the community 1.5 times over

if you’re policing what people spend it on because they don’t “deserve” joy you’re a shitty excuse for a human being
“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

This is the essence of the emerging fascist state.

Access to resources and programs designed to make our lives better is being stolen from us so that the oppressors can use, hoard, and distribute them to friends and hold them ransom in order to force compliance.
Healthcare but only for my friends

It's interesting how this has happened in the miniature wargaming space too - D&D and Games Workshop both have functional monopolies in their industries and a bizarre number of people get very defensive when you try to point this out and make excuses for it.
Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.

This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...

That’s exactly why Palantir is where it is today. Decades of funding rounds and networking behind the scenes.
Elite panic.

Hard to say what specific thing, though, considering how much stuff they've been torching.
You know, I have to wonder if these idiots understand that, if aliens are flying around and shit, they would have agency and may choose not to indulge them in their weird apocalypse fetish, or actively fuck over their weird 'trigger the apocalypse' plans in some way.

There are more pieces to the story, but a key feature is that "[Baker & Taylor] has spent decades being acquired by and divested from private equity firms, served as a revolving door for senior leadership." Once again, speculative capital extraction is destroying a critical institution (200 yrs old)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kean is full in on the "the apocalypse is about to happen" and a lot of Thiel's framings, right?

Lmao literally having a "we're rich" party while they cut SNAP is like cartoon level evil it's like the villain in a Dr. Seuss book
