This has been a particularly heinous solo Mom kind of morning. Bad enough that I feel compelled to complain and to the void. Good morning, void. Sometimes single parenting is hard.

My Severance theory is that it's somehow aliens. The Board is on a space station or mothership. The whole Kier thing is an evolved version of the people dancing on rooftops from ID4. Possibly it's aliens and the whole of our cast and where they live is on another planet. Possibly it's on Earth.

On the positive side, my 13 year old son uses "you're an AI" as an insult. On the negative side, he keeps calling his sister an AI.

Genuinely, do you think Musk or any of his addlebrained interns have ever just sat and watched birds for the joy of it? Even once?
you are capable of a type of joy that they will go to their graves having never experienced. those joys might not even seem like that big of a deal to you. it's worth trying to appreciate them as much as you can, if only out of spite
I say this completely unironically: they want to kill us because they wish they could love anything as much as we love our silly stuffed sharks

If you know even a tangential bit about tech, this will rightly terrify you.
So on this question of “doxing” of Musk gizmocrats, I was talking to staffers to today detailing one of the gizmocrats who is largely on his own rewriting the code base of one of the US governments most mission critical computer systems. And as it was described to me the staff programmers …

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
