Good Night 💤
A candle loses nothing by lightning another candle.

There are too many characters in Star Wars preaching about an unseen force that will balance the universe, and not nearly enough talking about how they allowed Palpatine to destroy The Republic in an effort to bring down the price of blue milk and power converters after a fake assassination attempt.

Fwiw, I tried to get more about Yarvin into my critique of Andreessen’s ridiculous “techno-optimism” manifesto: www.nytimes.com/2023/10/28/o...
Opinion | A Tech Overlord’s Horrifying, Silly Vision for Who Should Rule the World (Gift Article)
It’s no mystery why Marc Andreessen thinks people like him should be in charge. But how did he get so many of the rest of us to sign on?

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

A thing I can't get out of my head is that in 2025, the incoming president will (presumably, as he loudly and repeatedly promised to do) pardon those convicted of trying to overturn our democracy on his behalf.
So this is it. The last day of the last year of Rule of Law.
Grieving this reality.

Why I am fine with Eat the Rich:
Jeff Bezos announcing that he's marrying his next wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $600m ceremony. They live in Florida. $600m would cover 2 years of FL k-12 free lunch programs. Last year the state discontinued the office that helped schools file for free lunches.

Ghosts on CBS is such an underrated show I don't think people talk about enough. I laugh throughout every episode.
