If tech doesn't work to alleviate suffering or maximize joy, then I'm good. All tech does these days is exploit us harder and faster while killing us and robbing our livelihoods and creativity. I used to LOVE tech. Now it makes me want to crawl in a hole.

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive
RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

We only know what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti because rapid response organizers were there to record it.

We don't know how many people they have murdered, but information about more killings keeps coming to light.

And who knows what happens in the camps.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

The discourse around Hasan, Newsome, voting has this stuck in my head.
"So vote Nov 2nd if it seems right to you.
Don't vote if you think it just holds us down.
But tell me what we're gonna do on Nov 3rd
To make sure there's no government left to elect two years from now."

Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think
