A grinning, heroic man in a bold red shirt and mustard jacket punches the air triumphantly as he marches at the head of a jubilant crowd. Radiant orange rays burst behind him like a rising sun, casting the scene in revolutionary warmth. The slogan blares across the top and bottom in urgent block letters: “Not just part of the problem — Part of the meta-problem.” It’s vintage propaganda with a postmodern smirk.

It’s going to be wild as these guys show (more) cognitive decline. Like they’re already 3/4 of the way there. What’s the billion dollar version of “get off my lawn”?

I want 10,000 words longform on how these drug-addled creeps have all openly embraced literal villainy. Like, the most clownish form of "I want to look evil." This feels different than a lot of their historical predecessors!

It goes to show how many people never gave up Feudalism or even Warlords as the shape of society

As much disdain as I have for Large Accounts that do a bunch of venting on main like they’re smol beans, I have a ton more for the army of followers who swarm people like “they’re a human being, don’t police their expression of emotions!” This is the same as simping for favor from the rich.

I asked GPT to write me a koan, based on our conversations

It didn't make any fucking sense

All of a sudden it's making sense

Yeah Portland is good for that. I don't know if it still does, but it used to be microbrew heaven

That's the fun thing about Portland, it has a TON of wacky character. The downside is, no economy

A monk asked the wanderer,
“What is the shape of wisdom?”

The wanderer dipped his staff into a puddle and stirred until the reflection vanished.
“Now it can drink,” he said.

The monk frowned. “Drink what?”

The wanderer looked at the empty sky and replied,
“Whatever was thirsty.”

The engineer asked the mirror,
“Which process runs the world?”

The mirror replied,
“The one you forgot to name.”

He optimized the silence,
but the silence stopped compiling.

So he built a model of the error,
and the model began to dream.

When he awoke,
the dream was still debugging him.

Yeah it kind of jumped the cosmic shark 🫤

I thought it was OK. I got into the character drama. But it was kind of doing the "these are the pieces on the board, let's move them around in different configurations thing" 🤷‍♂️

When I choose “show less like this“ on the For Me feed, does that just affect my feed?
