Being able to feel controls instead of having to look at them while driving is key, but some of you take this to Luddite levels.

Holy shit, what dirt does Putin have on Elon?
Their values are aligned, theirs strategies are aligned, and so their efforts are aligned.
Ender’s Game was prescient text, regardless of Orson Scott Card’s personal beliefs.
Locke and Demosthenes are now armies of manipulative bots (but often real humans), shaping political discourse throughout the world. The Internet gave mind control powers to people with money, ambition, or both.

I was once fairly defeatist on this subject: the bad guys won, got Trump elected, and kicked off a new era of 80s conservatism that demonized progressive values like environmental conservation, freedom of choice in a number of matters, and equality.
But now, I’m starting to see young people stand up to their boomer relatives at Thanksgiving and bring facts and logic to social media discussions. And I have regained some hope that we will once again find a way to make the progressive “line go up“. Our society seems to swing like a pendulum between the right and left, over decades, and it feels like the Trump era was a swing too violent for most of us. It’s time to swing back.

With Caleb you can tell it’s just adjusting to the speed of opposing DBs. He will have to figure out that they’re all the best of the best, and some of the right throws in college are the wrong ones now.
Well, there’s Chromium and then there’s Chrome.
Disgusting. Please don’t participate in this.
Damnit. I love Firefox. What is the best alternative?
Did they alert authorities? Hope you’re doing better.
Sports and celebrity bullshit are the only things keeping Twitter afloat. They all need to move to threads or bluesky, because let’s be honest, they aren’t going to mastodon.
They are eating the pets of the people who live there!
Melania is stunning in the same way laser cut glass figurines are. Sure they look cool, but do you want it on the shelf in your house?
All of this began with Steve Bannon and his WoW guild. I can’t believe how far they’ve taken it.
