I used the 1-year anniversary of moving my newsletter off of Substack (they monetize Nazis among other things it turns out) to write a few thoughts on the lessons I've learned from the experience.

Featured: “It’s more government, more bureaucracy, more money, and there’s no oversight. And it’s taxation without representation,. The taxpayers don’t get to pick who these private companies are that our tax dollars are going into. So that is not a free market.” texasobserver.org/school-vouch…

It’s not surprising that there are a thousand (?) people at the Berkeley, California #TeslaTakedown protests, including so many old friends.

But across the country, deep in the suburbs, people are finding each other and building networks at Tesla dealerships.

*That’s* what we’ll need to get through some of this.

Oh, Muskie, my sweet. Yes, we do want to destroy your "influence" (= complete control), because we believe in democracy. Where ordinary people (remember them?) have a say.

And no, the "Nazi stuff" isn't fake. We saw you, light of my life, heart of my heart's desiring, we *saw* you make a Nazi salute. We *know* you enabled a fascist president, and spent $400 million to get him elected. We *know* you supported the neo-nazi AfD in Germany.

*You* are the evil one.

Just to play along... just a tiny bit. Um. What is an example of "anything positive" ?

@futurebird He's traipsing around with a kidnapped child & won't let other kids leave the country to visit sick grandmother, he's messing in databases he doesn't understand, cutting off funding for seniors, orphans, health care, farm & emergency aid. His mommy did an interview explaining how he had no choice but to be a fascist because of all those pesky regulations...work situations within his own companies are described as demoralizing. He wants to destroy unions.

And...

The blusters of “5D chess,” from the cognitive dissonance set, wear thinner every day.

It feels to me like we are in a very large Jenga game.

I’m getting, “I wonder what this button does?”

Image of a Jenga tower with in various state of disarray with blocks labeled:

Liberty
National Security
Oversight
Cyber Security
Treasury
Social Security
Privacy
The Economy
Civil Rights
Federal Jobs
Medicare

Constitution

With someone hunched over tampering with the Jenga tower with Elon Musk's face superimposed with a word bubble which reads:

"Hey bro! This piece doesn't do anything super important… Right?"



"That five-year-old kid who loved Mario needed to hear these words then, and maybe someone reading them now will appreciate them the same way."

@thegibson @GeoffWozniak it was kind of fun ten or twenty years ago to rediscover all the pop culture I’d spent the 90s scoffing at.

@thegibson @GeoffWozniak We made SO MUCH FUN of stuff we knew was SO GOOD. It was our way of expressing affection, as we were the children raised on hose water, concrete playgrounds, and neglect. 😛


How is pre-existing not in the Firefox (Linux?) dictionary, but pee-existing is? 🤔#spelling
in reply to AI6YR Ben

I had hoped that the word "pre-existing" would have fallen out of relevance with the passage of Obamacare.

perhaps you use this as an opportunity to talk about the direct line between toys like these - whose sole purpose is violence - and full-scale systems of automated violence, such as #Habsora.

Progress across that spectrum is enabled by the social structures around young engineers, encouraging them to suspend ethical considerations and focus only on making the system do what it does. Are you part of that social structure?

@fluidlogic There's no AI, they are not really different to remote controlled cars. The "fighting" aspect is pushing another robot out of a small ring.

The image features a character dressed in medieval-style armor, standing in a rocky, misty environment. The character has long, silver-gray hair and is wearing a dark, tattered cloak with intricate gold embroidery on the back. The armor is primarily black, with leather and metal components, including a breastplate, gauntlets, and a skirt-like lower piece. The character holds a longsword in their right hand, with the blade pointing downward. The left side of the image shows the character facing forward, while the right side shows the character from the back. The background is dark and smoky, enhancing the dramatic and mysterious atmosphere.
