I have no qualms about it at this moment because I need it.. but if I tripled this for YEARS I am still asking for less than “breaking” people make in ONE
They make more for twenty four hours than I even ASK for in twenty four years
And I’m NOT alone
So maybe when that stops we win

The purpose of DOGE was to exfiltrate the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans to Palantir's servers
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

I didn't have an opinion on open-access journals until I saw half of covid conscious twitter passing around an open access lit review illogically claiming that covid is really a prion disease, and calling it a new study that found that covid is a prion disease that causes Alzheimer's.
apropos of this shit, one of my hobbyhorses - that i recognize i am in the minority on - is that open-access publishing is a fucking scourge on academic integrity. closed access journals used to make significant effort to determine "is this a quality paper", now anyone can print if they pay the fee

For broader coverage of this topic, see Lack (psychoanalysis) and Castration anxiety.
See also: Lord–bondsman dialectic and Anima and animus
The ineffable, unary signifier of lack (phallus) stitches the unconscious drives to jouissance, dialectically bridging language and desire (logos and eros, the Apollonian and the Dionysian).[60]
Drives
Main article: Drive theory
Barthes reflects that the inner voice of the subject is structured in a triad of "Presence" (frustration) created by the maternal Other, "Intermittence" (castration anxiety) over the loss of the phallus as an imaginary object taken by the real father, and "Absence" (privation) that occurs from losing the phallus from the imaginary father; (symbolic desire separates from real need and becomes imaginary demand) (q.v., Lacan's graph of desire).[61][62][63][64]
In neurosis
Main article: Différance
For broader coverage of this topic, see Neurosis and Jacques Derrida.
Hurst argues that the Lacanian Real parallels Derrida's concept of différance.[65] Lewis states that lalangue is the arche-writing repetition that reveals the real subject through différance.[66] Guattari states that temporal différance is secreted from obsessional neurosis.[67]
