A moment of utter beauty as the mountains of the Canadian Rockies catch the first rays of light and emerge out of dense fog on a crisp, fresh autumn morning.

Same! Bring back the good stuff!
I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.
In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

For Silicon Valley, January 20, 2025 may be the Day of Jubilee, when a nation that worships wealth and technology turns Big Tech loose to run an uncontrolled experiment on the entire population with AI and crypto.

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

That is exactly why they keep us fighting each other. So we don't fight a class war. Because they are severely outnumbered

UnitedHealth CEO's killing unleashes social media rage against insurers
The lack of sympathy may underscore how Americans tend to like their own insurer but distrust the industry as a whole.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
