@hyperplanes This is why I refuse to converse with people. If you want to tall me something you can write me a damn letter.

some patterns in this family are entropic, but not in the sense of losing information: apparent disorder contains all information required to faithfully reproduce all past states.

@ENDESGA I answered art, but it's actually more the setting/story/flavor - what bits of information can i glean from this little cardboard window into another world?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Democrats took a 1st step to fix the massive, foundational issue of voting reform & money in politics.

#HR1 For the People Act by @RepSarbanes was cosponsored by 227 members&passed the House.

Now it’s at the Senate. GOP is calling getting money out of politics a “power grab.”

Fahrenheit is great. 100 is really hot and 0 is really cold. Totally intuitive. It's the best.

"Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence — and not government coercion, domination and control."

#MDCBrooklyn’s Deputy Warden testified today that thermal underwear could only be purchased through commissary, but it was down w/ computers. This means during the week of freezing cold, there were thermals on site, but they didn’t distribute them bc they wouldn’t make any money.

They're scared enough now to flat-out admit it ✊️

Our General Meeting just happens to be this Sunday. We regularly get about 2-3 dozen new members showing up each meeting. Help us make it 50-100 this month! Come and listen to our plans to make America a socialist country 😈

Correct, it is a damning indictment of the entire system.

[Colin @icteridae]

Serious question: Is there anything stopping a non-profit group from hosting a service like Patreon and just covering their operating costs with a percentage rather than attempting to also pay out to shareholders?

[Dan Olson @FoldableHuman]

I don't want to be doom and gloom, but Patreon is about to eat itself. Or, more specifically, the investors who demand geometric growth are about to demand Patreon eat itself.

"We've kept 5% of almost a billion dollars to run a website that's mostly text and shuffling money around" followed by "we need to tack more junk on to be sustainable"

@JanelleCShane i saw this on an unrelated meme page so i think you're penetrating the market

[Walter Hickey @WaltHickey]

"person of wealth" may be cringeworthy but give it this, at least it acknowledges that money fundamentally changes people to their very core
