Seneca’s idea was that wealth should be limited to what is needed and enough - something no billionaire seems to understand.
Understanding must be forced.

I've gone ahead and made my own letterhead for when I type stuff up.
I'm using pre-punched 24lb paper as well, and so far so good. It looks neat.
Using a #typewriter is very freeing. You own your words, they're real on paper, and no web scraping will be using it to train AI unless you share it.

man who couldn't make it into a general election has opinions about the political effectiveness of a group that the FBI broke the fucking law to destroy.
yeah man Dems just need to mimic the famously successful black panther party more to take back control nationally. they are what peak electoral performance looks like. you are definitely very smart.

While protesting abortion bans in Texas, tampons were confiscated at security because they were afraid we would throw cotton balls at politicians.

I have often found, actually, that I can tell everything I need to know about whether or not a cis man is a real one by whether he maintains a juvenile mockery towards menstruation well into adulthood or whether he takes the many, many aspects of menstrual justice seriously

I have a sneaking suspicion that there will just be an equal amount of Democrats that stand to reap the windfall of a Nazi administration that we're never going to be rid of this section of Nazis w/o a more permanent method.
the recent embrace from those like JD vance of genuine nazism into the republican party has created such a fascinatingly large schism within the party that’s continuously playing out very publicly and i hope it keeps happening

I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism.
Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years.
But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.
