‘Bout to risk it all

A world in which I can charge rents for everything will be a world in which I won’t want to make those rents very high

Honestly it rose Jones in my estimation because it shows a bit of honest hatred toward these freaks

jeb_binch @jebbinch.bsky.social · 1d

I have not but shall now endeavor to do so. Sort of a wrongly forgotten figure in my estimation.

But only because Blind Blake is technically Ragtime.

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

Bold of the President to offer handies to furloughed government employees

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 2d

President Trump addressed backpay for furloughed workers, saying that some "don't deserve to be taken care of" and that he'll take care of them in a different way.

Kind of related to this but Lincoln was likely an early fan of the failed novel, Moby Dick.

Rousseau gave an interview to a journalist where he spoke at length about the Declaration of Independence but the account that was published elided over his thoughts and is also lost.

I must have fucked something up when I made them. They were hockey pucks when they cooled.

I don’t like that we’re normalizing me seeing Stephen Miller and hearing his awful voice

We lost Ken Parker this week.

If you weren’t aware of him, this New Yorker piece is a great introduction.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

This is something that happens in Stephenson’s The Diamond Age. Protagonist’s crook dad had a cybernetic eye that’s constantly putting ads in his field of vision.

What if cyberpunk but none of the technologies actually worked

Expensive gene editing that doesn't actually do anything. "AI" that simply vomits randomly generated text. Fulldive VR brain implants that only make you hallucinate vividly, thought-reader scan machines that are just more random text AI
