Unfortunate but honest truth, the Last Jedi. Appreciated what it was going for but thought it was equal parts too clever by half and unbearably cringe.
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

same with trump, honestly. like, trump has committed a lot of absolutely horrific acts of evil—and this is still pretty clearly the worst act of either term of his presidency. it is almost never talked about that way or in that context.

like, even people who hate musk and are criticizing him tend not to bring it up.

musk has done a lot of evil things, but this is the one that puts him in a class with hitler and stalin and pol pot.

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

the appeal of UBI (which is great!) from tech ghouls reflects this aspiration to maintain a consumer base while eliminating the working class as a class in the traditional sense
James Boggs said this in 1963 and it's relevant to AI economy.

“Marxists have continued to think of a mass of workers always remaining as the base of an industrialized society. They have never once faced the fact that capitalist society could develop to the point of not needing a mass of workers.”

potential solution: I think the main thing missing in UBI is offering recipients a (non-market) participatory role in production decisions, which would make it both more socially acceptable and more politically durable. production councils, a democratic economy, not a consumers' democracy

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

I have maintained for a while that the reason everything around the world (funded by petro-states and carbon oligarchs) is happening rn is because the most powerful industry to ever exist on the face of the Earth has no future. And so it must wipe the future out of our imaginations.
In China & India, the growth in electricity demand has "decoupled" from the growth in fossil fuels. The next step is for fossil fuel demand to plateau & head down, even as economic growth continues. Should happen in the next few years. Believe me, when it happens you'll hear some cheering.

I made these a while ago. It's a nuclear electric ion deep space vehicle. It uses kilopower reactors and X3 ion thrusters. There is a spinning hab wheel and the whole thing uses a custom parallax shader version of Blender to render the details. #spaceart
