I read books and then write things about them.
I think about Decay a lot.
What if we built something’s end into its creation?

Still in awe of the people of Chicago. Trump and his party spent so much time trying to get them to give him some sliver of fake reason to do the insurrection act, and there was so much discipline from the Chicago area: sustained resistance, while not giving trump what he wanted

@yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social I finished reading Dan Wang's "Breakneck," and I'm curious to hear what you think about his position that China has rejected "advanced technology with American characteristics." He goes on to say that China is leaning into hardware manufacturing over virtual tech.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.
They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

This, absolutely. It's why I accepted an offer from a librarian to ship me boxes of discontinued cards. It isn't quite the same but perusing them from time to time has given me some great ideas and reads.
The one thing I really miss about the 'older world' is browsing library stacks, and card catalogues. However much I appreciate databases and retrieving what I want in moments, the serendipity of 'the book next to the one I wanted' and 'the article in the same issue' cannot be replicated. #Libraries

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
