People keep talking about AI and crypto coins as things that are popular and interesting. But Fentanyl is also popular and interesting, so y'all will need a better argument than that.

So now we're talking about Liz Cheney and Fauci getting preemptive pardons which is fine but we're still not talking about federal petitions for clemency, of which there are thousands 😣

It's a bit early, I know, but it's probably time for the NCR.

The most maddening tech discourse these days is that we need AI to figure out how to solve climate change.

We've known how to completely solve climate change for more than a decade, thanks. We just don't want to.

I kind of want to write about the current polycrisis but every time I do, I kind of get canceled.

I think I'd like to interview other canceled people to write an article as canceled people in conversation, about this very weird state.

Any suggestions?

Maybe we should have like 365 days of infrastructure appreciation. The French revolutionary calendar was on to something. Today we think about waste treatment facilities, tomorrow is forestry management!

I fucking hate how technology is just getting worse. I feel like they take away something that made my life better with every release, every new product, and then declare it's fast and better, you're welcome. It's just tech company gaslighting.

I just absolutely hate them now. It's like they got me hooked on a smart watch and now it just takes away my quality of life.

Feels like a good time to repost this https://medium.com/quinn-norton/how-antisec-died-654abf6aeff7 About how CrowdStrike got started and the kind of nice, responsible dudes who started it.

You guys are both right, there's a few reasons for moral panic around young people and phone use, and the core fear is about loss of control over children, and fear of kids' autonomy. There's no need to fight tho.
