  • It's a grift. He's lying about having that job. I'm not surprised that grifters are sucking maga dry - I'm just surprised that maga isn't dry yet. How do such idiots make money? By contributing to society??

  • I'll be real, I assumed he was dead too; I grew up reading his column and even some of his books. I'm glad to see he's still writing!

  • The most famous version of this might be Millikan's oil drop experiments to measure the mass of an electron. His notebook is full of qualitative judgments of his measured values and which ones to include in the final determination. The mass of an electron settled down pretty smoothly

  • Rehabilitation!

  • F'in murkowski

  • The cowardice of it being an unsigned letter is almost the most galling part. Sniveling authoritarian cowards

  • Do you have relevant advice for the former one?

  • Jackboots back in fashion

  • 100%. Also a hatchet man. He's brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets "kicked out", profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don't mistake it as anyone being on your side

  • 5 letters

  • Hatchet men abound

  • Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can't imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

  • This is the trend that makes me genuinely worry that we may not avoid neofeudalism. Right now, joe schmoe can at least participate in the Market, but when that goes away, what hope do we (and capitalism in general) have except unions?

  • I didn't make it through the whole whole thing, but it's an interesting take, thanks for sharing rss bot! Central criticism seems to be that modern day technologists latch onto the Chosen one themes of LOTR and convince themselves that they're special and good and justified in worsening the world in their own special and good way. While discworld antagonists are generally those self-styled chosen ones. I buy that difference and agree, but I don't think LOTR made thiel an asshole sociopath - I think some people are just assholes and society rewards them too much for it. On the either hand maybe society would be better off not buying into chosen one mythology. How many people proclaimed Musk as a real life Tony Stark during his rise?

  • This is what we get for being bad at math (and critical thinking)

  • I'm American and the main reason I don't aim the same criticism towards other countries is that I'm American and don't know enough about them. Maybe some people are agitating for malign purposes, but how much does that matter to a responsible netizen? No one knows who anyone is - maybe idiot takes are made by idiots or bad actors, it doesn't change much. Lastly, one quote stuck with me after the last election season : " the reactionary is always right about what is wrong but almost always wrong about what would be right"

  • as others have said, "yes" most people have the misfit drawer. We always called it the "horrible drawer_ because ladles and can openers and things would often catch and make it hard to open. I say embrace it, everyone deserves love even if not everyone fits in perfectly

  • But she does work? In truth there are two classes: working class and owner class. Doctors, actors, pipe fitters, bus drivers, etc are workers. They are paid for what they do (and who they are). Landlords, investors, etc are owners. They get paid for what they have. Maybe she doesn't have to work and is out of touch, but I have more in common with her than I do with Peter Thiel

  • Doesn't cost him anything so why not. Plus gives message to his mob that they have free rein
