periodically I look around at the state of the internet and the way it is clearly contributing to making the world worse in so many ways, and I think back to dicking around in a computer lab in the early 00s and how full of promise it all felt, and I feel sad

and, honestly, maybe I'm wrong, maybe this was always the endgame - the destruction of shared reality and the rise of conspiracies in every walk of life - but I feel like it could have been something better

I can’t actually says the words I think about this, suffice to call it despicable poison.
Rep. Claudia Tenney says there should be conditions on federal disaster relief to the "Marxist regime" in California and adds, "California is a disaster. Those same people weren't concerned about the people in North Carolina or the people in Florida who we've tried to help."

Musk's opinion piece for the German paper Die Welt, endorsing a right-wing extremist political party, matters a lot more for us than you might think, so I spent some time putting together a look at German politics, Musk's views, and the reaction to them. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...
Musk in Die Welt
It did not take long for Eva Marie Kogel, the opinion editor at Die Welt, Germany’s paper of record, to decide what the right thing for her to do was.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.
Know the truth.

Some doctors say a focus on profits is hurting health care in U.S. ERs
A doctor fired after criticizing care at the ER he ran said execs are focused on the financial outcome, “and the outcome is ‘Hey, we’re making money.’”

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees the President Biden should NOT consider granting a pardon to Donald trump, no matter what.
He STILL refuses to admit he lost in 2020, he's going to pardon the January 6th attackers, and will probably try to pardon himself anyway.
FUCK. THAT.
