I'd like to go on the record and say that "the algorithm" in all its forms (social media, music apps, television, etc) is the single worst technological development of the last 40 years. The amount of destruction that it's caused is going to take decades for civilization to understand and undo.

Pantheon is the single most unappreciated and underrated sci-fi show so far of the 2020's. I'm not trying to say that it's the best and that there's nothing out there better than it, but it's absolutely not watched by enough people who would fall in love with it.

Years ago, I got a job as a shift leader at a Papa John's in FL. The store was lacking so many basics like paper towels in the bathrooms, garbage bags, etc. After a few months, I found out this was because the GM got a bonus if he kept his spending below a certain threshold. (🧵)

They do not care at all about waste or fraud. They care that the money being spent isn't going to them or their friends. They aren't going to lower spending, they're just going to spend it on themselves instead.
