Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

If we can’t address the wealth — mostly unrealized capital gains — how can we address the wealth gap? It’s a distraction (or worse) to say “we need to do it but not in a way that affects me”
No my man, the answer absolutely involves taxing those gains.

The goal isn't to be Pollyanna, it's to kick off weights that you may not have realized you were wearing, to unshackle chains that you didn't know were holding you back. It's to get out from under the fug of constant gloom and despair and a feeling of pointlessness.

If you want an easy task for making 2026 a less dire year, do a social media audit of sorts. Do your best to notice what you're feeling when you're reading BlueSky or Facebook or scrolling Instagram or TikTok. How do you feel when you're done? Better? Or worse? And why?

Holding onto "masochistic epistemology" as a great specific thing to name and keep an eye on, here.
It's why we fall for masochistic epistemology: truth hurts, so if it hurts, it must be true. It's not. It's just easier to *believe*, because it takes 5x as many positive things to equal the weight of one negative, and we don't stop to balance it out, we just take it in.

I'm a firm believer that this liminal period between the holidays and New Year's is how we're supposed to live. It's peak existence.
May the word "efficiency" die in 2026 and all its horrible relatives "innovating" to solve the perceived problems of rest, joy, creativity, and humanity.

twitter could literally add a feature that sprays acid in your eyes every time you post and people would still use it
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
