The number of people that would break when they couldn’t access their email when they opened their phone… You could measure it with public health statistics.

I think you will enjoy this recent episode of the This Machine Kills podcast.

We discuss Quinn’s analysis of “new fusionism” or a mutant strain of neoliberalism that crystallized in the 1990s, which sought to ground and defend neoliberal policies through their own bastardization of biological sciences — cognitive, behavioral, evolutionary, genetic, and so on. They then used scientism to justify and propagate political ideas and economic models based on hardwired human nature and hierarchical differences between races, cultures, and intelligence. The fringes of the 1990s have now become the mainstream of the 2020s.

Who was it that also recently used that “my heart goes out to you” phrase again?

Oh right.

I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

“Catholics aren’t Christians” was a common phrase evangelicals used throughout my childhood.

Yeah…

Oof, barely over a quarter of a Scaramucci!

Did Benioff fall off the Trump train already?

Context: he’s the salesforce billionaire who owns time magazine.

They call it the lone star state because everyone is the star of their own movie about rugged individualism, or so I’ve heard.

As a crazy person that took 5 semesters of Latin, absolutely, but it’s a battle in which I’ve admitted defeat, much like “as per.”

If English made any sense, “matrices” would be the normal plural and pronounced with the italianized soft c. But then “indexes” is over there being irksome.

I think the correct plural here is simpler: a zero plural, i.e Kleenex. Probably because we just elide the entire word “tissues.”

Yeah, gotta jump to the 13 (waiting for mine with a ryzen 7 350 now).

FWIW, they had very specific goals with the 12 and outlined the reasoning in a video.

I see what you did there.

And consider locking your shit down before returning.

Waiting on my 13 (ryzen ai 7 350). Hope they don’t claw back for a price hike…

I’m skeptical about him too.

Re: hip-hop, I think the answer to why he likes it is in the quote itself.

The embrace of Black history as a political tool

It’s very possibly genuine, he was in his teens and early twenties as it blew up. But given his record beyond the speech, I think it’s reasonable to have doubt.

Hold on now, I think you’re misconstruing the position.

It’s not that they want everyone to suffer, it’s that everyone deserves to suffer … unless chosen by birthright/god to inherit at least 10x what constitutes lifetime earnings for the Middle Class.

You see, they were chosen to lead. Just like the kings of old. Why can’t the plebs see that?

Is it good? That’s not germane.

Yeah, I get that.

It seemed like you presented it as a given that just because it’s at a restaurant, it’s higher quality.

I was trying offer the counterexample and suggest that the grocery store frozen food is also intentionally different making “quality” difficult to compare.

Well, except criminal court where sentencing is a joke because no human is held accountable.

Kill a bunch of people? That’ll be a fine you pass on to your customers.

Oof.

Best of luck staying sane.

Draconian, but merely dubious?

Legally dubious and morally repugnant.
