"makes you exponentially more productive" man your shit has made an already precarious industry substantially more hostile towards creatives, absolutely nobody is doing better
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

Being faster is not the same as being more creative.
Creativity is about exploration, learning and problem solving. That’s not something you can just outsource and expect the same level of satisfaction or growth from.

Capitalism needs us to feel bad if we are not in its service.
When we support each other, we weaken capitalism's hold on our imaginations, and capitalists rightly feel threatened.

Most people do all they can to support themselves. People don't want to be mooches. It's just a fact most of us need support from others, but people are socialized not to support each other.

The distraction talk is frustrating because BLACK WOMEN TOLD YOU!
Following the blueprint that you laid out is not a distraction. It’s executing a plan and that plan has more battlefronts.

What happened to Epstein and Maxwell’s victims is abhorrent. I am not taking anything away from that.
But this is a much more present danger to Black people.

Black people by and large have been detached from this.
What they are about to do to Black DC children to victimize and enrage Black people is more pressing to me than whatever is in those Epstein files.

We are seeing in DC what we saw here in Los Angeles: a federal use of military force against the lives, property and livelihoods of your fellow Americans. This is not a distraction. This is an escalation.
I am begging y'all to stop calling the militarization of a major city a "distraction".
If *YOU* would rather think about Epstein--- and not about the forced mass displacement of human beings--- then just say that.

Thank god. We can finally incarcerate all of those dubiously parked hot dog trucks. (Though in fairness, it looks like these DEA agents already thoroughly inspected those vendors).

Worth noting: Mayor Muriel Bowser kissed the ring at Mar-a-Lago in December so Trump would force federal workers back to their offices. He fired them instead.
In July, she said she got rid of BLM Plaza to protect DC autonomy. That's not going well either.

![A screenshot of a Washingtonian interview with Bowser from July, reading:
Interviewer: I did want to ask you about Black lives Matter Plaza, which you recently decided to dismantle after Republicans in Congress started making an issue of it. I was just talking to someone who described it as one of the great public artworks of our time, and a large majority of Washingtonians disapproved of its removal, including 75 percent of Black Washingtonians. Do you think removing it was a mistake?
Bowser: No.
Interviewer: Why is that?
Bowser: I agree that it was one of the greatest pieces of public art, but I probably think of it in that way for different reason than most because I know why I put [there]. I used public art to save our city from what I thought could be a very dangerous night [Fiday, June 5, just after protesters clashed with federal law-enforcement troops near the White House]. And I did it to protect protesters and to protect our neighborhoods. Now, I certainly didn't put it [there] because I thought people around the world would replicate it. I didn't really put it [there] to poke at Donald Trump. It was to give people a safe place to be, and our police a safe place to support peaceful protests. So I think that purpose was served. And having a mural stop us from being able to govern our city is not justifiable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2bqqvvbljclouzkz5r3oq36o/bafkreicmvia2svrr72pibgh5rcz26yw2qnveeaa6w4icnnkc6camhaxq3m@jpeg)

Just reposting this old story of mine about the long tradition of treating D.C. residents like they aren't real Americans.
In 1972, a senator from Louisiana argued against home rule, saying the District would be controlled by "Black Muslims."
The history, it repeats.
