I saw a quote somewhere (Steinbeck, I think) that said our society sees itself as temporarily embarrassed millionaires instead of the exploited class that it is.

The last of our real movie stars are dying out and it's depressing being left with all these internet famous entertainers who pretty much play themselves every movie.

Ever since I watched that John Oliver segment on Sysco and food supply, I don't want to eat at any restaurant that doesn't source their food locally or from independent distributors. These monopolies are going to kill us one way or another smh

Of course you don't feel like a man. You don't know how to paint. You don't know how to change a tire. You can't replace a faucet. Can't tile a floor. Can't grill. You don't even know enough to walk closest to the curb.

I'm about to post something that will probably get me in trouble and then walk away. Men complain that they don't "feel like men" when a woman makes more than them. But being a man is not about what you get, but what you DO. Do something!

Solomon @solomonmissouri.bsky.social · 11h

and i'll do you one better ... men become uncomfortable when their partners make more than they do because they believe that their partners will financially and emotionally manipulate them ....

as they .... manipulate their partners.

Mike Johnson looks like one of those weird Christians that goes home, puts on leather chaps, grabs a whip, and beats himself across the back in memory of the stripes Jesus took (while also being extremely aroused).

You mean to tell me an economy based off circle jerk investments aren't actually lucrative? Shocked.

Mark Lemley @marklemley.bsky.social · 4d

And this:
92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money

fortune.com/2025/10/07/d...

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune

Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?
