Jobs are a fake idea invented by John Q. Economy to sell more Growth Reports. They don't actually exist. We're all just performatively throwing resumes into the various digital paper shredders located in different office spaces around the country. Nobody in the USA actually has a job in 2025, we […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]
