The AI Economy told in meme 💸
After all these years, I still don't need subtitles. This video of comedian Juan Joya Borja, aka El Risitas, is such a joyous clip. Makes me laugh every time.
He's telling the story of losing nearly all the restaurant's paella pans during his first day as a kitchen helper. He was told to soak the rusted pans in the ocean overnight, but he didn't think about the high tide. He lost 19 pans! I mean, it's such a simple story but made famous by him being him as he tells it. 🙌
I really enjoy Christopher Nolan movies and was excited for him to direct The Odyssey, but there is nothing more ominous and concerning as to the quality of a movie than hearing him say he made it for “modern audiences”
My wife's boyfriend has a job running an experimental nuclear reactor in Trieste.
Last month the reactor began to overheat. Meltdown was imminent. The explosion would have destroyed half of Italy, Slovenia and Austria.
Just when they were all on the brink of despair, a brown man—likely a refugee—appeared, and quickly performed complex nuclear engineering to bring the reactor under control.
When they tried to award him Italy's highest civilian honour, the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, he refused and simply said, "This is my culture. In my village, we repair nuclear reactors for free."
And yet the working-class right-wing bigots never hear about this type of thing.
I have to be honest with myself.
I’ve been studying and theorizing about immigration for a little less than 40 years.
I have NEVER seen ANY population enthusiastically welcoming it. It is ALWAYS force fed to even the most xenophilic populations in my experience.
But, by whom?
Everything invested in electing Trump was the purchase price for this piece of information about hidden power in the West. Worth it in my view—especially given there was no alternative on the ballot short of Goliath himself. But holy sh-t!
Welcome to the infinite Truman Show.
this quote is epic:
“Godless people have been finally punished in godless LA.
But being godless as they are, they will not learn anything, and will still claim that this is not an act of God, but of climate change…”
Sincerity is not the love language of X. That said….
You motherfuckers need to get your shit together in 2025. You need to stop being stupid and prioritize sleep. You need to move your lazy ass and exercise daily. You need to overcome your fast food addiction and eat healthy.
Your mental health problems stem from the lack of basic self care. Show yourself some respect and stop doing stupid shit that makes you age faster and feel miserable.
We have a very serious situation on our hands as a species. It is not clear that we will survive the coming years and decades. Many things threaten our existence and we’re fucking around with shit that doesn’t matter.
We are primitive and shortsighted. We need to grow the fuck up and be equal to this moment.
Start by getting your own mind and body in order. Lift weights and get jacked. Sleep well and stabilize your mood. Eat well and feel energized.
We have work to do.
Happy Holidays 🎄
