There is a concept of a "network state" that the broligarchy is building that seems to have some elements of what you mention: theweek.com/tech/network...
Network states: the tech broligarchy who want to create new countries
Communities would form online around a shared set of 'values' and acquire physical territory, becoming nations with their own laws

Every weekend morning is a little scavenger hunt! My pro tip is that my phone switches apps much faster than the TV so I will locate the match on my phone while I pour my coffee and head to the couch

All I'm saying is...with all the shitty tech we have to put up with, especially in education, this is a nice, non creepy app and all parents should have it. ~fin~

Also on more than one occasion the bus broke down and you could see it was 30 minutes late and still 5 miles away and so you could organize an impromptu car pool to get the kids to school on time.

Honestly 5 stars was a life saver for kids who would wait until the bus was 2 stops away before getting their shit in gear

Great analysis. This joke was old even when I was young: Republicans claim government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it. A party that stands for competence in gov't has the harder job b/c as noted, it's much harder to build than to destroy. There is no way to do Trumpism from the left.

I think there was a phenomenon as well of bands having a hit or two and discovering their back catalog was even better, thinking Jane's Addiction, RHCP, smashing pumpkins

So true. If you want to be David Attenborough there's a whole wide world of subjects that are okay to study from the centroid of human experience. Covering politics is inherently political and never taking a side just means you always accept the framing of the side in power.

Agree with BB as the first conceptual generation. I recall the Time and Newsweek stories growing up: "Baby Boomers turn 40" (50, ...). Other gens did not get the same treatment and Gen X name didn't even settle until 90s. I owned a copy of this (from Waldenbooks ofc!: share.google/IhETJYGXyCYd... )

I...just don't understand how one could read that post as critical of Mamdani. The entire point is how mercurial Trump is. And it's spot on. Trump will not remember any of this tomorrow.
