Musk’s utopia won’t happen. The real future is much darker. Whoever controls electricity, compute, software and robotics will hold absolute power and once they have fully automated labor, they won’t need the poor at all.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

An oil still life experimenting with brighter colour. All of these objects came from charity shops along the street near where I live, including the tie-dye cloth. The jug seems to be from the '20s (a survivor). The painting is still in the studio hanging on the wall.

FACT OF THE DAY. 16 November 1915. Coca-Cola had the prototype for its classic bottle patented by the US Patent Office (Patent No 48,160). The bottle design is still recognisable today. The original patent is on display at the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC.

What people call Fate is nothing but their own stupid/foolish conduct. You may do something from a trifling motive, of the existence of which you are unconscious; but the slightest circumstance may bring about consequences which become important, and then you think it is Fate ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

During the Reagan administration, Black women, typically single mothers, were dubbed “welfare queens” and scapegoated by the politicians who called for welfare reforms. Republicans revived the trope again during the 2025 shutdown. From Naomi Bethune:

The ‘Welfare Queen’ Is Back, but She Never Quite Left - The American Prospect
The stereotype of the welfare queen, typically a single Black mother, was employed to rationalize the pause in SNAP benefits, and it proved effective.

The Limits Of Language & Logic
