I am in the best physical and mental shape of my life. This stuff is frustrating and infuriating, but the outrage you hear is not irate, nor is it damaging to my health. Do not let these people drive you insane - let your spite fuel you and spread the word about what they’re doing to the computer.
I honestly worry about Ed having an aneurysm because he’s voluntarily, daily, deeply drowning himself in all this (::gestures::) Silicon Valley mindfucking/upisdownism bullshit. I couldn’t do it.

They want to privatize all knowledge
Tech bros cheering on the cuts to grant funding built businesses and wealth on the back of decades of university R&D work. Much of that knowledge was given away to the public. This is basic pulling-up-the-ladder nonsense via rewriting history. They owe the public, not the other way around.

Or maybe we’re just pointing out they’re fascists because it’s good to call things what they are, especially when it involves authoritarians. No one believes that calling Musk or Trump fascist is gonna suddenly move tons of voters
Whether that’s an Elon Musk salute or something Trump says or some interpretation of the “real meaning” of one of his policy actions.
People will see the truth — they are fascists — and then victory will fall into the laps of the good guys.
10 years into the Trump era we need to move on.

“Mixed-use development anarcho-capitalism” is the best description I’ve heard yet for the current YIMBY movement
yeah, most every weightlifting content silo funnels straight down into some form of right-leaning or outright fascist politics, but I feel like kettlebell goes hard into something I can only call "mixed-use development anarcho-capitalism"
I started looking into kettlebell videos when I wanted a shorter non-rack workout every so often and that was not a rabbit hole I was prepared for

Local government is always a bit of a trip, but the weirdest part about this community hearing was the white dude who called people opposing 76place antisemites.
Second place goes to the union guy who called the opposition NIMBYs. Lotta name calling from white dudes today
