Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
The vibes are off. Time for some emergency hot takes: -many bacon jams are not good -the live action Cowboy Bebop was set up to fail -bunions are not embarrassing and you can develop them in your 30s -rugged individualism is terrible in practice and will kill people -ginger beer > ginger ale

Agency always traces back to the font of human decision-making at the entry point to any process, including automated ones. Layers of automation may obscure, but not obviate, agency
Last year, I was with a group of friends at a cottage, in August. I read this thread to them. They loved it.
