Musk's current cognitive decline has caused me to favor a wealth tax on national security grounds. It's not an ideal tax, but a functional society cannot have "one wealthy guy controls everything and then gets brain worms" as a failure mode.

Anybody can change from being fit and healthy to sick and bedbound.

Anybody can develop chronic health conditions or become disabled or terminally ill.

Anybody can change from being employed to unemployed and unable to work.

These things can happen to anybody.

Anybody.

zoomers aren't drinking, zoomers aren't dancing, they aren't even having sex. worst of all they aren't reading either, in fact, it's entirely unclear *what* they do with the same 24 hours their ancestors had to deal with every day.

Something lovely for the weekend! ❤️

Marvellous Minoan cups known as Kamares Ware. They look so modern, yet they were made by Bronze Age potters about 3,800 years ago!

I am obsessed with hofstadter's "surfaces and essences." it's a 500 page book on the nature of thought. he basically gives you a very long list of examples demonstrating that all thought is fundamentally driven by analogy. at first I was skeptical but

Hatun Sürücü wollte einfach nur ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen. Weil sie aus der familiären Unterdrückung ausbrach, wurde sie vor 20 Jahren von ihrem Bruder erschossen. Ihr Schicksal mahnt uns, konsequent gegen patriarchale Gewalt vorzugehen. Ruhe in Frieden, liebe Hatun🕯️

Liebe Deutsche,

ich weiß, ihr seid eifrig damit beschäftigt, den Faschismus – hierzulande und weltweit – anzuprangern. Das ist gut.

Verweigert ihnen nicht erneut eure Empathie.
