It is becoming increasingly obvious that the most humane thing we can do for billionaires is take all of their money. I am dead serious about this. 🧵

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred
I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

Honestly, helping to edit Wikipedia feels like one more small way to fight the enshittification of everything. Worth considering.
wikipedia's new editor count is down a bit and perhaps it's your time to try it editing!!! it's a small and concrete way to help and here are a few ways to start!!!

I had been wondering about this recently!
I’m not very good at self-promotion, but here’s a repost for the Sunday readers out there 🙂 There’s a claim that is being repeated more often of late that cyder was a different and superior drink to cider. In this long read (perfect with a cup of tea or a glass of cider) I debunk this modern myth.
Modern Myth-Busting: The Cyder Controversi
Barry debunks the myth that ‘cyder’ and ‘cider’ are different drinks, tracing the spelling history and enduring cultural heritage of cider.

One of the most delicious apples I tasted all year came off a tree growing feral off the side of the highway, between the railroad tracks and a car dealership. I’ll be heading back in a few weeks to cut some scion wood because these amazing apples deserve to continue on and be appreciated!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

No republican should be running unopposed during the next election.

A lot of places have the potential to flip after this disaster.
Do it. Run for office.
