What kind of weed helps concentration? The kind I’ve had makes me lose interest in my own sentences halfway through.

even the rich are worried

Good.

Are the “Windows evangelists” in the room with us right now? Every Windows admin I know hates Microsoft with a burning rage. Literally the only people I’ve ever seen promote Windows are being paid to do it.

Counterintuitively, that’s one reason I like dealing with Windows: the community knows what it is and doesn’t pretend otherwise, like some other more “zealous” fan bases.

This isn’t even funny, and I have a great sense of humor! 😡 /s

They want control over everything to the very end. If these people were going to be satisfied with fucking off and enjoying their wealth, we wouldn’t even know their names.

Gotta give it to him: he knows how to flood the zone with distracting outrage.

It’s crazy how on-the-nose The Good Place was with the good guy committee. “It’s clear what we need to do: give up all our leverage, and give them whatever they want.”

Don’t they understand what’s happening?

No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.

The law has always been a matter of what is or can be enforced, rather than what is written. Which is why it’s been excruciating to listen to MAGA family members try to defend voting for reps who have been saying for years that they plan to eliminate the Social Security and Medicare on which those MAGAs depend. “They can’t just do that! My tax dollars paid for it! And have you heard KaMAla’s laugh??”
