Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I recall a wise person saying that the reason the tech bros had so much confidence in AI wasn't that they understood tech so well, it was that they understood humans so little. I keep thinking about that.

White men especially. Women can get awfully shrill and hysterical, dontcha know
I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I often like to imagine a world where Elizabeth Warren became President of the US
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

In Australia it's "tell him he's dreaming"
What is a sentence from your home place that everyone would understand yet would leave foreigners baffled?
I believe ours is "Always blow on the pie"

Woke up with a wry neck just from sleeping wrong, and now this. Fark I'm old.
Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” turns 28 today.
The song “didn’t belong to an elite group of musicians,” said Boff Whalley. “It belonged to people. People at football matches, people singing along — people at parties drinking too much whiskey and tripping over the kitchen chairs. People like me.”

I am genuinely terrified everyone will forget, or has already forgotten, how different people were 15-20 years ago. Since then, all technological innovation has worked toward the goal of sapping human attention as a commodity and society is far worse for it.
i believe that short form video is maybe one of the worst things people have ever come up with and it should be regulated at least as much as cigarettes
