I thought today, "how do we keep fighting when evil seems to always win? How do we fight in the absence of hope?"
But maybe one doesn't require the other. Maybe we chose to fight... even if there is no hope.
Maybe we fight anyway.
I can't live with myself if I don't.
Be well, friends.

Turns out you can be the richest man in the world *and* so cravenly hungry for adulation that, when all else fails, you’ll beg for it from the very worst of your fellow humans. Musk’s interest in the U.K. is directly proportionate to the volume of our far right Twitter. The ultimate simp symbiosis.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter.
Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research.
