Honestly, I don’t believe striving to touch the top rung is a meaningful, productive, or psychologically healthy life goal.
“Unlike ‘Succession’ or ‘The White Lotus,’ which fixate on the already élite, ‘Industry’ centers largely on the strivers: people who claw their way upward while knowing full well that they may never be allowed to touch the top rung,” Inkoo Kang writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/ij1D7R
“Industry” Is a Study in Wasted Youths
In the new season of the hit HBO series, its young protagonists have left the trading floor that made them. Their second acts are revealing.

Recycling is important and I will never stop, because if I try my best, and do it my whole life, I might someday cancel out the CEO of Home Depot taking one private flight from St. Louis to Houston.

For the latest episode of A Meal of Thorns, critic and podcaster @tallesteden.bsky.social joins ARB editor @casella.bsky.social to talk about big-picture, far-future science fiction (with some surprisingly timely bits) in Greg Egan's DIASPORA:
A Meal of Thorns 43- DIASPORA with Eden Kupermintz
Greg Egan’s work exemplifies a certain kind of “hard” science fiction: not that it’s obsessed with big manly space battles, but rather that it’s using science to reall…

Back it or don't, but PLEASE watch the video trailer five times, I worked very hard on it 🙏✌️
It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.

Name your favorite Disco Elysium side character. Hands down for me it's East-Insulindian Repeater Station 1 Lady.

"Yes, I am alive. I am 74 years old and my name is Yvonne. Now please repeat, is this the production schedule?"

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.

My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.

Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

Some things are hard to ditch. Some are easy! Some can be ditched in part, step by step.

X? Easy! That’s trash. Just stop posting there, done.

IG? Maybe harder. But Threads? That’s easy! Just stop posting there!

The word 'howdy' dates back to the 1570s, but you only ever seem to hear it in American Westerns and whatnot.

Being that old, there should be British people saying it. Is there some neighborhood of London where they still say howdy? 17 villages in the East Midlands?

"We either invisibly sway public opinion towards our ends or the whole thing atrophies and dies, either way we win"

I can guarantee this phrase was uttered before the Twitter, WaPo, and TikTok deals and will be said again, repeatedly, until we tax billionaires out of existence.

Friend: "No heat coming out my car vents"
Me: "Check your coolant"
Friend: "No, no HEAT. It's actually cool air"
Me: "Right, coolant! Check it."

It was, of course, low coolant.

Billionaires are the cultural equivalent of a buffer overflow attack. just so much wealth they can suddenly start writing whatever bullshit they want right onto the social substrate.
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.
