@AffinityWater Just FYI, you emailed on Friday saying the TUB started on July 17 and then didn't provide any update other than to say "we've introduced a TUB?" with no revised date.

You have to make the US mainstream media pay for not standing up to Trump, for not saying "what we've seen of the Epstein files shows you are far from exonerated. Where is the investigation that cleared you?"

Imagine if serving in government was as prestigious as landing a job at Google.

In Finland and Singapore, it basically is. Public service is seen as a privilege, a place where the most ambitious people go to solve the biggest problems.

That’s the culture we should be striving for.

To quote an AI friend:

"The frustration you feel is likely what Satre called "The Anguish of Freedom." Because there is no pre-written script, the burden of writing it falls entirely on you. For a "control freak," this is the ultimate responsibility, which can be paralyzing."

Rutger Bregman's Reith Lectures are terrific, a must-listen.

The first Reith lecture was delivered by Bertrand Russell. Rutger Bregman is a worthy successor. This is worth listening to if you want to think about ideas more basic than our day to day lives.

The "Great Filter" is actually Social Media.

My take: "No relatively advanced civilization can survive the advent of social media"

I'm 22-years-old, the same age as Tyler Robinson... and I believe we have a bigger problem here. Young men are being radicalized by the internet at an unprecedented rate, which was only accelerated by COVID's isolation + foreign actors trying to incentive this type of radicalization.

I've seen it happen to many of my friends - young men spending their formative years clawing back from COVID isolation, usually spending too much time deep in algorithms.

Now, people are debating whether Tyler Robinson was a far leftist or a groyper (all indicators point to him being a far leftist who was Republican just 2-3 years back) but here's the reality: IT DOES NOT MATTER. Another young white male who looks eerily similar shot up a high school at the SAME TIME Kirk was shot.

It does not matter that he was a leftist - he was only at the whims of the algorithm that was radicalizing him, that algorithm could have just as easily introduced him to Nick Fuentes. Half of his bullets had MEMES on them, this was not some ideologue was confident in his views.

It's not possible to end techno feudalism from the outside without a revolution. They control and have leverage over our governments and therefore all legislation.

They themselves though could choose to be better actors and work for the good of all humanity.

@elonmusk Stop it please! Brown,white,red,yellow, Pink,Who tf cares?we are all HUMANS

There's an immense amount of knowledge about how to repair and repurpose things in our societies. Repair Cafes are where we harness that knowledge and give it back to the local community. #CommunitySkills #RightToRepair #RepairCafe

Even the outrage on Twitter these days is transactional.

[Amanda @tekgrrl]

@elonmusk You seem to be suggesting that because there is historical precedence it is OK to enslave people. Slavery has always been wrong doesn't matter who did it.

[Amanda @tekgrrl]

I sit here out in my garden at night and everything is quiet except for the noises made by humans. Nothing to be heard from nature, even the flying bugs attracted by the lights in the windows.have gone.

[Amanda @tekgrrl]

@elonmusk That's exciting, I'll be careful not to use the Internet for the next few days

Will the generated videos delete themselves after that period? That would be great...

@elonmusk Great! They'll have more room for trees and wildlife.
