"adam tooze comes out as a treatler"
You bolt awake in the shores of Little St James. You are not online. It is 1997 AD. You are the Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. The financial industry must not be deregulated

the meta ai video slop TikTok is I think the first tech thing where I have been 100% on the side of the Luddites (vernacular usage, I know the actual Luddites were more complex than that, nerds). Usually I think there's a little too much of that reflexively on the left tbh, but no this shit sucks.

bar crawl on Ceres with Amos Expanse
Which deeply disturbed protagonist would be the easiest to hang with? I nominate Tony Soprano.
like im a straight dude. i cannot imagine that i'm hanging out with my buddies and we're like "ya lets call Christian Grey from 50 shades of gray to watch the game with us, he seems like a normal guy." Impossible to imagine him having even one friend.
