One reason we started 404 Media is that we didn't want to work at a giant company that starts laying people off as soon as it's hit with "economic headwinds." We continue to grow, slowly and carefully, thanks to our subscribers www.404media.co/how-404-medi...

Our new tool, the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker, has already come under direct attack from Elon Musk.

It is a failure of reading but its roots are OWNERSHIP. Coloniser extractive mentality: what can I take from this text (sci-fi, philosophy, games, whatever) to use & own. SF is more directly about (whether pro or anti) colonisation & mining than most Anglo realist fiction so it's more usable.
Reading this, it struck me that all this techbro discourse, from colonising Mars to AI, is all a massive failure of reading. It is an artefact of the philistinism of people who read/watch SF and fail to understand that most basic thing about it: it's not about the future or space. It's metaphor.
This guy, @albertburneko.bsky.social, is a genius. Please read his brilliant article on Elon Musk's deranged and morally repugnant Mars colonisation schtick. defector.com/neither-elon...

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

SpaceX seems to have entered that innovator's dilemma stage where it's now hard to balance their full launch schedule serving existing contracts with forward progress on major new projects.
These Superheavy/Starship launches are failing in stages that are supposed to have been worked out by now.
