Pretty sure it's the racist dog whistling and policies designed to immiserate all but the wealthiest fraction of a percent of our society. Doesn't help that he's also the World's Least Charismatic Man™ though.

Americans, please can you get on board with the term "fortnightly"? There is no need for "biweekly" to have an ambiguous meaning.

Figured he's a big influence on a bunch of writers I enjoy so I'd check out Borges.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

I must not discourse.
Discourse is the mind-killer.
Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the discourse.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries
- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support
youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.
