The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

He was a reflexive liar even when compos mentis. I wouldn't be surprised if it's his default reaction.

Internalized ableism feels so incredibly difficult to combat while we're being bombared with so much negative and prejudiced info about disability!

That was my first thought too!

Oh yeah! Those would be great!

I'm watching dudes on YouTube build a log cabin with my dad, and it totally reminds me of the Big Art Attacks!

Chokepoint Capitalism by Cory Doctorow | Books & Company

A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big MediaCorporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

gonna be so cool to have to try and refute stories from the NYT, wapo, CNN, FOX, and now CBS
