Paulina Borsook told us 25 years ago that Silicon Valley oligarchs would be dangerous. Recently she said of the Nerd Reich types:
“I just don’t see why this toxic ideology had to accompany it. These are tools. I mean, modern dentistry is great. But your dentist doesn’t insist you worship him.”

Why are tech billionaires fixated on doomsday?
Because "apocalypse capitalism" is the business model— existential threats as trillion-dollar opportunities.

Now and then the US Supreme Court makes a good decision. Most of the time though it is just trump's tool. For now same-sex marriage is still safe. The Supreme Court ignored a case from the Kentucky zealot who refused to issue gay marriage licenses in 2015.
Supreme Court Shockingly Makes a Good Decision on Same-Sex Marriage
The Supreme Court has rejected Kim Davis’s challenge to the landmark case.

Dick Cheney...not a fan. He lied and manipulated the country into a war in 2003, and did a lot of other nasty things. But he was NOT a trumpster, and knew very well what a fascist trump and his minions are. I like his daughter Liz Cheney a lot. I hope he has a modicum of comfort in Hell...

very Alphistian-style little train in Britain :)

There is an even shorter route in Germany, but that runs less frequently - which gives the shuttle train in my home town the moral victory

Sold a few things at the Urbana Small Press fest. My free stuff went like hotcakes! Interesting chats, just one crazy trumpster who tried to troll me. I said "Bless your heart". I don't think he realized it was an insult, in the tradition of Dixie ;) #urbanasmallpressfest #smallpressfest #zinefest

Very happy trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. Nor should he ever. He is a malignant narcissist who is not interested in peace, democracy, or human rights. He is a convicted felon. The prize has gone to a true advocate for democracy: Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela.

Portland is such a hellscape. Sad though they will be punished for their sins against America.
