@arvidkahl.bsky.social just bought the audiobook of zero to sold after listening to your podcast for the last few months. Super excited to listen — your podcast is far and away the best thing I listen to, no contest.

So this lawsuit that former employees filed against Twitter last week regarding not paying rent and ignoring building codes has some CRAZY stories. I tried to highlight the craziest ones in this article
Apparently Elon Doesn’t Think He Needs To Pay Rent Because SF Is A ‘Shithole’; So Why Should We Pay For Twitter?

Online age verification is coming, and privacy is on the chopping block
The future of the internet could be at stake.

oh yeah, I can’t think too much about how our society utterly wasted the chance to use Covid to make life less shitty, or I’ll go insane
Living in a co-op and working on mutual aid meant I had a pretty great time with the lockdown itself, apart from losing my job

What drained me was having a massive societal shift to give us a window of opportunity - only to fuck it up and make everyone feel like suckers for making sacrifices

I also think people don’t realize what kind of mental health problems someone would go through if they too had no place to live, no support system, food was erratic, good sleep was non existent. Many could not keep up if they lost just one of those things.
