People named Sarah Taber/Mock be like…

Everybody needs to boycott buying new cars till they stop requiring subscription fees for all this new tech that we’d all gladly trade for lower prices on these mid-ass whips that cost sixty thousand fucking dollars.

This chick told me I had a “porn-stache.”

I then teased her about the CashApp link in her bio.

She told me it’s so guys she dommes can pay her, and that shaming sex workers is wrong.

I love the internet.

The part where Taber tried to throw “omg he’s good at charming White people!” at me like an accusation instead of a basic life skill for any Black dude interested in living past the age of 22 😂

I've had her blocked for years on every single social media platform after I caught her plagiarizing from me and other smaller ag accounts. She also tried to exploit Black Native farmer Chris Newman at @sylvanaquafarms.bsky.social

Everytime a wannabe rad-leftist mentions tHe GLobaL SOutH, God gives Israel another bomb.

Nope. I’m implying that no one’s mad just because Kimmel was fired. People are mad because the chair of the FCC called for him to be fired, and then he was fired, and then the President of the United States called for more to come.

Companies passing investment to one another while also buying/selling from one another isn’t at all uncommon in business and isn’t an indication that anything is wrong. Far from a bellwether of end-stage capitalism, it isn’t even particularly “capitalistic.”

Nvidia and OpenAI: Is the Tech Boom Eating Itself?

If we’re hoping AI won’t eat our jobs and our planet for lunch, we can’t bank on a repeat of the 2000 tech bubble.

Somebody answered “could prime Jaime Lannister beat Aragorn?” with Michael Phelps is the greatest swimmer of all time but he’s not gonna beat fucking Aquaman.

Given the way they’re reacting, you can’t tell me 75% of conservative men weren’t having sex with Charlie Kirk.

I mean, hell, I’m a local grower and my business is growing… But for everyone of me I can give you 50 anecdotes of first generation farmers having to pack it in in the last five years.

Farming While Beige @sylvanaquafarms.bsky.social · 21d

I don’t doubt that anecdote… but again, my life is in this business and I’m telling yall things have fundamentally changed. Northern California is not a good indicator for what’s happening in the rest of the country.

Farm-to-Table is Dead

Killed by the inevitable aging of millennials and the end of Obama-era optimism

… but it DID manage to get people asking serious questions about our food systems, prompting both consumers and social entrepreneurs to take action.

A serious person knows that Farm-to-Table’s stated goal of millions of small farms feeding their local communities was logistically, geographically, economically, and even politically impossible…

Farm-to-table was a cultural pioneer species, setting roots in the barren, exposed soil of Cold War food policy that produced the alienation so many of us feel from the systems that feed us…

From my latest essay, “Farm-to-Table is Dead”

Farm-to-Table died as both the supply and demand sides of the phenomenon got schwacked at the exact same time beginning in 2019. I think this death, though, is more of a necessity than a tragedy…

How many examples is enough? Telling people not to waste their energy on things that don’t work is not the same as telling them to give up.

To be clear: no one’s mad just because Kimmel was fired. People are mad because the chair of the FCC called for him to be fired, and then he was fired, and then the President of the United States called for more to come.

This is very very different than cancel culture.

Hypocrisy isn't limited to the right. Been warning you for a decade about calling for people that say hateful ignorant racist things to be fired. Hate speech is free speech and now you're finding that out because we're not in power anymore and those in power determine what's hate speech
