just be glad that you exist now, in this infinitesimal sliver of opportunity between the birth of stars and the heat death of the universe

my most cancelable opinion!

It’s not sport per se: it’s pro sport as a self-mythologising commercial juggernaut, wound up with alcohol and gambling, which extracts $millions from communities. Being a fan can be both the most meaningful thing in your life and the thing which holds you back

hot #politas take:

yes, the stadium is bad because it's a waste of money

but also because professional football is bad

for every player living their dream, there are thousands of punters who trade participation for spectacle, who watch but don't do

there are better ways to spend your weekend

I get why people are scared of AI takeover

but our societies are already subject to forces we don't control, inhuman systems whose goals ignore human and planetary flourishing

Honest titles for me would be:
- I Liked How This Ended Up Kinda Furry
- I Started Doing Something Else, But This Is What I Got

(on reflection, this is excellent and I think I’ll start doing it)

This demand would be impossible to service if the panels were made in the US and Europe. China’s ability to cost-effectively manufacture at massive scale is critical

The government didn’t reason its way into the stadium deal, so it’s unlikely that information will assist in getting it out. If you’ve hitherto succeeded in your career by being confidently wrong, there’s little incentive to change
