This is what a society without any class or self-respect does.

Betting markets on War. What could possibly go wrong?

I wrote a thing.

I know it's hardly the top priority, but could is there any way we could add "mandatory headphone jack on every smartphone" to the Woke 2 agenda?

If you want larger homes in urban areas to be available and affordable to young families then you need to build a LOT of studio and one-bedroom apartments. Otherwise, groups of adult roommates will outbid them for the 2- and 3-bedroom units in walkable neighborhoods.

Come try out `bun install @glossick/akasha` for GraphRAG in your Bun TypeScript project. I'm still testing it on NodeJS

I made a GraphRAG library as simple as: await kg.initialize() // Learn from text await kg.learn('Alice works for Acme Corp. Bob works for TechCorp. Alice knows Bob.') // Query knowledge const result = await kg.ask('What is the relationship between Alice and Bob?') www.npmjs.com/package/@glo...

why have a burst of people followed me? please stay for the anti-planning department takes

The Culture War is a deterministic psychological trap engineered & maintained by tech monopolies that profit from human cognitive vulnerabilities. Those who believe themselves to be fighting in a "Culture War" are feeding their own cognitive imprisonment, and perpetuating systems that oppress us.

Way to go Blue Jays 💙🤍🙌🏻💪⚾️🇨🇦

cooking something in react native atm 👀 The Bhagavad Gita, with commentary that aims to bridge Western and Eastern philosophy.

X has become primarily an anti-Indian racism platform. It’s currently filled with anti-Hindu & anti-Sikh nonsense right now. It’s the only thing the Christofascists seem interested in talking about as of late.

Given the turboracism against Indians at large, especially with the focus on Hindus, I have to ask: would people be interested in substacks that are focused on Indian Philosophy?

Katha Upanishad.

If you watched the painful Dr K and Sadhguru interview today, you should watch this as a follow-up to understand it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXp...

literally no one in this interview advocates for car centric sprawl. half our interview was about the need to build more dense, infill housing! you’re just lying! youtu.be/XvLlxM2I53k?...

Conservatives operate on the lower chakras, which is why they see themselves as separate from the universe. Liberals operate on the higher chakras, which is why they see themselves as part of the universe. This is probably also why Conservatives can’t handle second order thought.

Worth watching if you are a nihilist cheering on political violence.

Young Ontarians are disillusioned by sky high cost-of-living, housing insecurity and rampant unemployment. Doug Ford’s message to them? You’re not looking “hard enough”. For someone with so much contempt for education, he sure lectures a lot. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1140573...

Thanks for the housing crisis, Ontario.

K fine I’m never going to read in public again

Do you think it’s The Goldwater Rule that stops the American media & institutions from treating Trump like the mental basketcase he is? I’m still perplexed by the sanewashing of the most obvious imbecile God has deigned to show us

The problem is the internet allows our village idiots to have their own community now, and therefore a consituency. The only way to fix the moron problem is containment political parties for the morons. This is why democracy requires proportional representation to survive the internet age.

Incredible

Question: How would Nina Turner fight back against Republican gerrymandering? 🤔

Don’t go accusing randos of horseshoe theory if you can’t handle how they would respond to you. Feckless American progressive/libleft rats who would rather allow their democracy to be eaten by MAGAts. It’s a shame only AOC, Bernie, Gavin Newsom, and neocons understand the present American moment.

When Democrats have the opportunity to fight back, they run away. These people don’t see themselves as part of an existential crisis, or else their moral high horses would be forced to make messy decisions about what’s right/wrong atm. This is what ideology as religion looks like.

Horseshoe theory is when a Canadian centrist liberal who hates Trump criticizes American Libs & Progressives for hating eachother more than they are willing to team up and oppose their fascist president

I don’t like Doug Ford in Ontario either for the same reasons, but he’s willing to stand up to Trump. I won’t vote for him, but I’ll get behind Team Canada. American Libs/Progs are obsessed with finding the perfect coalition partners instead of building an anti-Trump coalition. It’s sad to watch.

So embarrassing for mainstream Dems that they seem more concerned with Mandani than they do with a clear common enemy

Not a good look for American Libs when Newsom /gets it/ alongside AOC, Bernie, and…neocons — but the rest of them don’t

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

I have been trying to tell anyone who will listen that right now we need a Teddy Roosevelt, an FDR, someone who is willing to break the robber barons and do the “unpopular” things the wealthy don’t want to see done but are necessary to claw back some power for those who don’t normally wield it

People on this app will block you for the mildest takes.

> whenever you suggest Olivia Chow should use her strong mayor powers to enact citywide zoning reforms to end the housing crisis

I think it is entirely fair for us to start looking at Americans like the children they are. They will whine, they will complain, they will explain how they had no power to change their electoral destiny to prevent moronic orange man. But that is not the rest of the world’s problem.

There is little introspective capacity in the Average American. Their degraded education system combined with their internet access and their shared national ego makes them believe they can speak wit to wit, toe to toe, with the average citizen of the rest of the developed world after electing Trump

IDK why American media keep looking at The Dumb Orange Man and thinks when he talks about “trade negotiations” that somehow means anything. It’s all a farce, and to report on a farce either indicates complicity in the farce of normality, or it indicates a stupid fucking country

It’s not politically incorrect to speak the raw truth: - 🇺🇸 is going civilizationally backwards - it’s become a shithole country - it has poor a education system where half the populace is morons and their average voter desires Peronism - their liberals are thinskinned losers unwilling to fight

Much like how investment in education & healthcare makes countries more developed. Disinvestment in education & healthcare degrades countries into whatever this is.
