Also helium supply. Goodbye MRIs, semiconductor manufacturing, and aluminum welding…

Minimum wage here is $18.50…

Dave’s not here, man.

We’re just a few millimeters away from revoking that agreement though. There’s not that many of them.

If we get that we’ll also definitely get a Moon Banksy.

I mean. We shouldn’t probably. But can’t is a pretty strong word for that. Non reflective paint is a great idea. Stealth satellites.

New planet Earth. DA voiceover, as the camera fades in and pans over warehouses: “Data. The source of life for the largest and fastest growing ecosystem on the planet. At dawn, this robot dog patrols it’s territory through the server racks of eastern Pennsylvania, hoping to survive another day, and protect it’s herd. On the horizon, the buzzing of a Luddite insurgent groups’ EMP drone flock approaches…”

If heaven and hell are real I hope God and Satan give Swartz a sabbatical so he can go torture Zuck for a while, periodically.

100% leased to the corporate overlords. The Uighur/Kafala model.

Or- hear me out- a different but broadly popular coalition of sane, not corrupt people who are sick of the appeasing Dems and fascist Repubs. Let’s break this stupid system.

Oh they are counting on it fighting for its life. Ideally an audacious “terrorist” strike on some liberal city before midterms.

How does Elsevier feel about that???

Travelling in Kenya as a pretty sheltered 20yo. Saw a kid (9yo?) huffing gasoline at the gas station we stopped at. Just taking the last drops from the handle in a paper bag and sitting there destroying his brain all day. Couldn’t do anything about it. But it’s stuck with me for decades.

You’re in luck, they’re going to die in droves.
