been watching this discussion for a while, so I might as well say: I have a humanities degree from one of the world's top engineering schools, I got a terrific education in writing *and* STEM, and it has made me a better UX strategist all around, absolutely zero regrets
The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

Yes, you did. Most Americans saw it coming (some were mortified and the rest were happy about it). If you honestly didn't see it coming, you're too fucking stupid to be outside off-leash.

May you reap what you have sown. #republican #gop #fascist

WHAT YESTERDAY'S #DAVOS SPEECH WAS: A pointed indictment of Trump & a signal that global leaders are planning for a future less dependent on the US.

WHAT IT WASN’T: A call to save the US. This was capitalist system preservation, not a resistance town hall.

REMEMBER: The lesser evil is still evil.

Which is PROOF the Constitution is obsolete.
Executive orders are not the law, they pertain to the Executive branch of the government, which is meant to follow the laws created by the Legislative branch, the U.S. Congress and used to hear and decide cases in the courts by the Judicial branch. The POTUS has no power to make law or ignore US Law

The argument that we can’t judge the actions of historical figures by current standards is an explicit affirmation that their values are of another era and are not applicable in the 21st century.

If We Shouldn’t Judge the Founders by Our Values, Should We Live by Theirs?

For the sake of ritual, Happy New Year. May this one be better than the last.

"You know, the sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walks the village idiot and his face is all aglow
He's been up all night listening to Mohammed's radio"
My Song for 2026: Mohammed’s Radio
I try and think of a song that captures how I feel about the coming year.

There's a chance the world as we perceive it is a simulation.

I hope so, because that would mean the pain isn't real.

I Hope the World Isn’t Real
Maybe it’s an experiment on how much an artificial consciousness can take before it melts…
