musk railing against the doxxing of his teenage hackers shows he either does not understand what is at stake, or he has put them in an extremely dangerous position and does not care about their safety and wellbeing

My very last issue (on ♿️) has now come out with BMJ Medical Humanities: I have stepped down from my role as Editor in Chief. There are a lot of factors—after 17 years editing two consecutive journals, it was time. But there’s more, and I feel we should talk about the climate of #academic publishing

going so power mad that you appoint your horse to the senate is conservatively x10000 better when compared to letting zoomers humiliate you live on twitch as background noise to someone playing fortnite

reading abt US healthcare from australia is like i couldn’t meet my deductible, so i paid a copay, but since i didn’t have prior authorisation, there was a coverage gap because it was out-of-network. luckily i had a coupon, so i only had to pay $13,699 for my lifesaving meds this month

actually it occurred to me i *dont* want to be around to see it because musk has likely already made some shitty bet like it’s ok to burn all the carbon in the ground as long as it fuels the creation of an AI superintelligence that will solve all our problems.
reflecting on what a high-risk strategy it was for musk to back trump. like i know he had his thumb on the scale, but still: the margin for victory was slim. it really could have gone either way. and one day he’s going to make a big bet that goes bad and i really hope im around to see it

I keep thinking about that Vanity Fair piece on McCarthy’s relationship with Augusta Britt. The article doesn’t mention it, but there’s a scene in the film version of No Country for Old Men where Moss waves to a young girl at the motel swimming pool.

seen a few ppl say ‘maybe it won’t be so bad because they’re so incompetent’.
but ‘competence’ is irrelevant. it relates to the existing institutional and political framework, which they’re about to tear down.
and they’re very good at destruction, chaos and the consolidation of wealth and power.
