How does it always get to be so late? Today that’s partially because it’s election night. I know you’re disappointed, but remember this puts any R +12 into play for 2026, and that’s HUGE. Hopefully these fighters help your mood

And a lot of these billionaires perceive even the slightest amount of pushback they are getting from us peasants as a totalitarian leftist threat that leaves them no choice but to go all hyper-reactionary and use their wealth to support a far-right "counter-revolution" against liberal democracy.
The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries
