If ya tell me not to do it, I'm gonna do it
The great tragedy of my generation, is capitalism's ability to hollow out anything meaningful in life and sell it back to us as the real thing. My generations great mistake is we bought it.

The left needs a better marketing strategy. The system we should aim for is something like what Denmark has going on. It is termed a mixed economy but that is not a good enough word for it. It's not catchy enough.

Does anyone have better ideas?

Do not blindly trust the health care system. Be your own advocate. Doctors & nurses are wayyyyy more educated than you, but they are also overwhelmed. Take care of yourself, but please our system does not place your care 1st. It can't.

That a US congressman is going around claiming an Iranian Mother ship is off the coast of the US hovering over US military assets without any evidence and in direct contradiction to the what the defense dept. is saying is totally nuts. Who elected him?!

Irrespective of content (of which I think BlueSky is already better than X) BlueSky is also a better product. It encourages active rather than passive engagement. I have way more control over the content I see here through the custom feeds.

Generative AI, and other models to me seem to be that part of the brain offers up thoughts, ideas, and solutions. It does not seem like the part that's selecting which ideas to explore further. There's a sort of hypervisor we all have that knows when an idea is worth exploring more.
