  • America could sure use less internal combustion and more high-speed rail.

  • Apart from being individually, inhumanely awful, it's just so stupid at a societal level. Spending money on cops to wreck the economy is stable genius level thinking.

  • Uh, what? I'll use a quote when it neatly captures what I was thinking, and credit it to the original author. The phrase is the important part I guess, but fair play to the author.

  • Bush 😩 Obama 😮‍💨 Trump 😤 Biden 😮‍💨 Trump 😱

  • Wow, they are just giving him free advertising at this point.

  • If you're drawing authority from it, that's on you. Sometimes you just like the turn of phrase and are giving credit.

  • No, I'm providing a counter-example and rejecting the argument that only lost media entitles you to consume media for free.

  • I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.

  • But what if there's no war and we build a connected, coordinated and supportive society for nothing? Seriously though, if we are to increase 'military' spending, then it seems like a great idea to use that budget on approaches that help us deal with other emergencies as well.

  • 1984 missed that our telescreens would be portable and the hate isn't limited to two minutes per day.

  • When I return from the library instead of the bookstore it is with the deepest shame.

  • As a child and into my teens, I had an inner monologue that was switched on all the time. After practising meditation and reading without subvocalisation, I was finally able to 'shut up' where stopping the monologue was as easy as stopping talking. Anyway, I'd encourage anyone to give it a try. Now being able to think without distracting chatter is well worth it for me.

  • In pictures, for one example

  • He often squints reading the prompter, and he has to concentrate so his manner of speech moderates significantly. Then you see him flip the switch to freewheeling bullshit.

  • BILL ACT 🤦‍♂️

  • Maybe in the not too distant future we will build our roofs out of solar panels and walls out of batteries.

  • It’ll be those bloody emus at it again.

  • I’m the last of the original developers of a particular system and now it’s my turn for management to move me on. There’s a new person and they are being instructed to use AI to work on it. It’s like moving the system to hospice care, looked after by the janitor with an Alexa until the lights go out.

  • Our ancient tradition since the 1960s.
