Republican Representative Thomas Massie: “Let me give you the name of one the billionaires, John Paulson. He is a major donor to the republican party, a major donor to the speaker of the house, a major donor to the president’s campaign and he is in Epstein’s black book. That is indicative of the types of people who may be implicated or embarrassed by a complete release of these files.”
The White House has targeted opponents, including a Fed governor, for having more than one primary residence on their loan papers. ProPublica found that, in one case, a Trump cabinet secretary got two such mortgages in quick succession.
You're a kid and you have rich parents. Suddenly your parents are murdered. That means you inherit their fortune, but you're also an orphan. What do you do?
Batman: I use their company to make myself even richer, exploiting poor people in the process. Then when people are too poor to survive so they are forced to turn to crime, I dress up as a bat and beat them up. I collaborate with the police.
Harry Potter: Collaborating with cops isn't enough for me: I'm going to become a cop, and also a slave owner. But like, the good kind of slave owner.
Violet Baudelaire: My siblings and I are going to build a bunch of libraries.
Harry: Huh? What's that supposed to accomplish?
Klaus: A library is a public facility which--
Harry: I KNOW what a friggin' library is. I went to school with a frumpy girl who spent all her free time either in the library or trying to abolish slavery. But like, why? How does building libraries help increase your fortune?
Violet: It won't: we'll just build more libraries to help people.
Batman: But what about fighting crime?
Klaus: If everyone has free access to knowledge there will be far less incentive for crime.
Harry: But won't you share some of that money with the police? They really need it!
Sunny: AyCaaab
Violet: My sister probably means something along the lines of "The police have never done any good, and the courts are corrupt."
Americans might say foreign aid money should be spent on US infrastructure, but Americans never say foreign aid money should be used to pay down the US debt.

You may think streaking is dead, and from an ancient era. You are wrong. At UCSC it is required on the first day of Rain each year. Here is proof of the continuing tradition. It must be good if the administration discourages it. news.ucsc.edu/2023/12/first-ra…
First Rain has been welcomed at UCSC since 1967, as far as I know, though I didn't learn about it until this century. How is it that in 2023 some genius "Dean of Students" feels the need to announce "students should refrain from participating". A notice like this is good for High students to have handy when making decisions about how their lives will be lived, if indeed they have a future it won't be with a clueless asshole who has the gall to make a statement like this.

"By leaving politics out [of the psychedelics movement] we just got co-opted by the worst of the worst. Same with the net, it's like we followed John Barlow; 'governments stay away, we don't need you', and it's like 'oh no, the corporations took over'."
Ep. 331 Liana Gillooly , an advocate for purpose-built ecosystems and psychedelics, joins Rushkoff for a conversation about the evolving landscape of psychedelics.
What Barlow said was directed at corporate governance as much as it was at state governments;
"Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron."
by John Perry Barlow Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us.
The persistent misrepresention of Barlow and other tech rights pioneers as stooges of corporatism (usually mislabeled as "libertarianism") really grind my gears. @pluralistic wrote a great column on this earlier in the year;
I just finished the first episode of Can't Get You Out of My Head, a 2021 documentary series by Adam Curtis. Curtis is an intriguing filmmaker. The best of his work deep dives the political history of the 20th century in surprising and insightful ways; The Century of the Self (2002), The Power of Nightmares (2004), The Trap (2007), Bitter Lake (2015) and Hypernormalization (2017).
Unfortunately, I think Can't Get You Out of My Head is going to be the other kind of Adam Curtis film series. Like All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, where he tries to collapse hacker culture, the 1960s counterculture, SillyCon Valley and chokepoint capitalism into a monolith, supposedly driven by a unified Ayn Randian philosophy. As if Richard Stallman and Steve Jobs were on the same side of history.
"By leaving politics out [of the psychedelics movement] we just got co-opted by the worst of the worst. Same with the net, it's like we followed John Barlow; 'governments stay away, we don't need you', and it's like 'oh no, the corporations took over'."
Ep. 331 Liana Gillooly , an advocate for purpose-built ecosystems and psychedelics, joins Rushkoff for a conversation about the evolving landscape of psychedelics.
In the first episode he seems to take Discordianism seriously, implies that counterculturists were all Randian conspiracy theorists, explores the hyperindividualist philosophy of Chairman Mao's paramour and connects this to the Cultural Revolution (its logical opposite), and hints that it's all somehow connected to Boolean logic and computers.
I'll keep to watching to see if he can bring all this together into a coherent and historically accurate narrative. But I'm not holding my breath.

Xena is the reason I am queer. As a 10 year old: looking at this, no reason I could see why I might want to be straight sunny.garden/@fringemagnet/115…
Today marks 30 years since the premiere of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' back in 1995. A show that was never ashamed of its campiness, but at the same time managed to be groundbreaking on multiple levels. Setting new standards for female action heroines, featuring a main character that was messy and flawed, physically strong and athletic, who started as a villain seeking redemption.
Xena, despite its cheesiness and often ridiculous premise, succeeded in pushing the boundaries of queer representation, challenged stereotypes, defied several of the sexist tropes of '90s media, explored LGBTQIA+ themes, even themes of gender identity, and made a clear statement against the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at the time.
It may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it's a beloved cult classic for good reason.
A delicious way to celebrate twenty years together. I wonder what those two kids in 2005 sitting on the KU campus, talking all night, would make of the life and family we’ve built together over these two decades? ❤️ 😘 @Dbenhg
Il Cremlino è "assolutamente" contrario alle garanzie militari americane ed europee offerte all'Ucraina per la sua sicurezza. Lo ha affermato il portavoce Dmitri Peskov. (ANSA)
How long until Republicans realize calling it Department of Defense wasn’t woke or weak but because it’s a lot easier to get infinite funding that way.
It's NOT hyperbole. If you try to make sense of what they're doing via a sane "healthcare should help all people" lens, it makes no sense.
But via the eugenics fascist lens - "healthcare only for the bourgeoisie, while only the Aryans survive to toil as a permanent underclass" - it makes perfect sense.
What RFK Jr's doing is part of this broader eugenics plan for a multi-phase mass-scale culling of the population.
So, something I got a kick out of... Seeing TYPEWRITTEN bits of my stories. Before #Computers! (And thank you #WednesdayAddams for bringing back the #typewriter!)

@apth Thank you for this. I wholeheartedly agree about minimizing dependencies and this most definitely resonates me with.
My experience, and I should say feeling, about Python dependencies is that there are a lot of smaller libs that other packages depend on for very small things.
Pulling in one dependency can sometimes yield another 10...
