I have around three thousand dollars in my bank account. I don't even live in Virginia.

I am going to keep an eye on your re-election and donate whatever I can to whomever will primary you.

taytay, I’m curious, did you ever dig into Iain Banks? Excession?

Hm. Cute theory, but if they thought like that then why are they building in Arizona and Florida instead of Alaska

that Microsoft underwater data center was kind of brilliant though en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project...

and patriarchy, in a way that’s a bit more literal than usual

I could really see Utah swinging for a guy like Gavin Newsom, but Hillary and Kamala were always nonstarters.

This is everything I’ve been thinking about Pluribus, said better than I could say it.
I found the ep in PLURIBUS where Carol--white, American--meets 5 non-white, non-American survivors of the hivemind off-putting, but in a way that made me curious to see where Gilligan was going. Now that I have, I wrote about how empire, privilege, genAI, & resistance converge in the show's subtext:
Resisting the Hivemind: Pluribus, Generative AI, and Empire - Reactor
While its creator tell us that Pluribus is not about advent of generative AI, it's difficult not to spot the many places where the fledgling tech and extraterrestrial hivemind overlap.

and finally, if you haven’t discovered “salsa macha” yet, I just discovered it a year ago and it changed my life. You know Asian “chili crisp”? Turns out Mexico has the same thing but even better.

This store stuff is great, and homemade is dummy easy. www.amazon.com/Lupita-Salsa...

well I’m not going to waste your time with “best is subjective”

Queen Majesty is the bomb. Their tequila lime green stuff is unbelievable. Take a look at the ingredient list, you can taste every ounce of it with perfectly balanced heat. queenmajestyhotsauce.com?srsltid=AfmB...

hot sauce snob here — that’s the best stuff you can count on finding everywhere

Tabasco: all heat no flavor

If the restaurant doesn’t have a house sauce or some hipster shit, reach straight for that green stuff

right, but they could already do all that. The QR Code doesn't introduce a new vector.

I don't mean to sound glib or attacking, but I think that's kind of paranoid/silly

It's very trivial to mask ones browsing via incognito windows and VPNs, people monitoring ICE tend to be the types who know how to do that. And the current admin has very poor tech aptitude.

am I missing something?

Peanuts is the best. It didn't have to be funny, it was better than that.

same

the Gen-X idea of hell was soulless cubicle culture. There's a reason why Office Space is still one of the defining movies of the 90s

maybe "office life sucks, you should want more out of life" isn't terribly deep, but it sure saved a lot of us from becoming our boomer parents. #RestInPiss

Are you envisioning widespread self-hosting on home machines and LANs? I assumed the best case scenario for PDS’s would look more like Squarespace, Heroku and Digital Ocean than home servers, and Windows has effectively zero market share in that world.
