Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

This is a very lazy observation, but for a US production, if it’s released in the US first it’s often a sign they’re trying to get the opening weekend without many reviews available to dissuade attendance.

If it’s actually a good film, it’ll open in a foreign region a week or two before the US so they can use those reviews in promotion.

I don’t trust anyone who is still impressed by LLMs enough to consider them to be in any way adjacent to intelligence.

Mythology is the rules invoked to justify a religion.

I use this framing to explain how finance is the rules invoked to justify an economic model.

They’re both control mechanisms conjured by the ruling class to maintain class division, the newer incarnation just substituted smiting with accounting.

The US fought, and apparently won, an entire war, to get out from under the heel of the boot which they insist on continuing to measure things against.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

They’re lobotomising tools. Vibe coding is just shoving one end of an ice pick up your nose, setting the other on a keyboard, and replacing its handle with a mains powered personal massager.
