@eyojoel77 The classical aesthetic is to go forth with grace and dignity in all matters of life. I work with loudmouthed Trumpists who often bicker, deflect, and divide. Quiet professionalism, elegance, and strength are their poison.
@elonmusk No it isn't. A population 0.8 - 1.4 billion humans begets and idyllic high tech utopia. It is better to have humans not be born now rather than slaughtered by the oligarchs later. I've already seen your population control plans and societal scripts through the 2100s.
@harvey_kilner@KatLeTel@OrwellNGoode Novels are compacted universes folded into themselves. They are not just words, but realities, histories, dreams, desires, metabolic functions of vile hunters and acidic tinges in soils of undiscovered worlds. Those who say it's just words need to be diagnosed.
@cd0yl3 A gen z employee at my job arrives at 6am, clocks in, drives away for 2 hours, then returns at 8am. He then works the rest of his shift and leaves at 2:30pm, so essentially he gets 2 free hours of wages per day, every day. Everyone treats this as normal, legitimate behavior.
@emrazz This country's lands, skies, and laws will kill you in a heartbeat, without a shrug, without a care, and yet somehow millions and millions of people still love it.
@wojespn@WindhorstESPN Wrangling this unhinged lunatic into a #2 role on the 2016 championship team will go down as LeBron's greatest on-court achievement.
@menwritewomen Genius, Foster Wallace was not. An overwriting writer who owned a quarter-book of real ideas, an anti-writer who turned his ego into a mountainous word salad whose undiscovered peak lies just beyond the event horizon of dreary, suicidal smugness.
@taalumot It's real. I knew a genius who absolutely lost it after age 32. Turned sledgehammer-to-the-head stupid almost overnight. Went from posting original music and art masterpieces to ranting about vaccine bat juice, Bill Gates, Flat Earth, and radio tower mind control. It was a shock.
@paulg If you are a Trump supporter I will fight until my dying breath to stop you and I will not let up until you are fully eviscerated and wiped away from history. You. Shall. Not. Grow. Old.
