web3 folks have been pretty quiet lately

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

More appealing governance is possible.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

Kendrick really told us he doesn’t need double entendres on his album GNX which is named for the Buick on the cover and in the lyrics but also is short for Genesis which is layered throughout the album.

over history more soldiers have been killed by infectious diseases than by opposing forces. so of course in this administration we are getting a pentagon chief who doesn’t believe in germs.

There’s no single, silver-bullet solution to “the male loneliness” crisis and no single trick to re-socializing all of our disaffected, “red-pilled” young men. Unless maybe it’s community theater.

America was never Democracy version 1.0. It was Capitalism version 2.0. All the wealth aggregation of colonies without the monarchy at the top. This is why we still have the electoral college and states rights and a toxic myth of male individualism. it’s baked in.

I don’t want to hear any marginalized voting or non voting cohort blamed for this result when it is clearly we white men who are the problem.
