“Anybody who is within the bounds of the United States has First Amendment rights,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @theintercept.com. “This administration is trying to chip away at that notion, but that is very much what First Amendment jurisprudence has been."

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

There's something more beautiful about a tree when spirits dwell within it, an intimacy through which we can more profoundly relate to the world.
I look at a willow and say:
This is where I want to be in death. Entangle me in your roots, absorb me, become me, free my soul to pass through you.

The machine wages eternal war.
They must be exploiting us, thus sayeth the techno lords.
Who wouldn't?
So we vengefully exploit them.
With tariffs and walls it begins.
With drones and bombs it ends.

Origin myths remind us that chaos existed before order. Hero's journeys remind us of the same thing, as delving into chaos reveals that order was taken for granted & shouldn't have been. Philosophy's job is similar: it reminds us again and again that ignorance, not knowledge, is primary.

How unnatural are we?
To be born of the stars and claim the earth ours
Animals surrendered to hate and greed
The abyss grows in our hearts as we succumb to the art of intoxicating our only dream
So lost in the dark that we blamed God for the havoc of our wicked machines
How unnatural are we.

This classic illustration of octopus mating makes me feel so awkward.
They're embarassed, I'm embarassed for walking in on them, we both now have second hand embarrassment. If only octopuses invented socks or door knobs.
