Sometimes I fix things. Sometimes I shoot arrows at things. Sometimes I hug people. Sometimes I kick people. Prickly autist who hates MAGA, Space Force, and Christians who believe in compound interest. Mostly love everyone else.

There is only woke. There’s no dark woke, woke 2, woke 1, or any of that other shit white and white-adjacent people are saying to be funny. I don’t care if it’s a losing battle, I’m going to tell you to shut the fuck up every time with that shit. Yes, it’s anti-Black. We do not like it.

Dumping Big Tech isn't just a matter of personal politics or even of tech sovereignty (which is a con anway) it's a matter of survival. Big Tech is the latest flag bearer for civilisation-ending extractivism and all the delusions about progress that keep us addicted to it.

The way I explained it to my 70 yr old army vet mother in law: "Capitalism is not the same thing as commerce. A merchant will SELL you a laptop. A capitalist will borrow a trillion dollars to buy ALL of the laptops and rent one to you at ten times the normal price."

People think that capitalism is the same as markets, as commerce. They think that it means the end of personal property. Meanwhile, capitalism buys up stores and dismantles them for quick profits, captures our government, and figures out how to make it so that you have to rent your bicycle.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.
