Ugggh there's a screening of Rashomon in town tonight and I was super excited to go because I've never seen it but it turns out there's a "expert Q&A" *before* the film and I feel like I already know a lot more about this movie than I'd have liked to going in. Also if this is the angle their Q&A is going to take it sounds… kind of facile

(If you want to use this post as a jumping off point for a reply which discusses things that happen in "Rashomon", I am begging you to use the spoiler tag)

WOW - The French government announced a new OSS project simply called Docs:

“A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentationZendisorm that scales. Built with Django and React. Opensource alternative to Notion or Outline."

It’s even offline-first, using the CRDTs under the hood (Y.js).

LOL, does this mean I get to roll out the

"Liberté, Egalité, CRDTé”

Dad joke?

I think it does. Link below:

“Consumer sentiment is declining rapidly for HHs

•Consumer worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions

•A record-high share of consumers think business conditions are worsening

•HH’s income expectations are declining

•Inflation expectations are rising at an unprecedented speed

The bottom line is that consumer sentiment is
🚨DETERIORATING AT AN ALARMING RATE.”
-T Slok, economist at Apollo

I am going to “yes-and” the core thought of this article (via @ianb):

❝Economically depressed young men are aggressively targeted with the oldest, most seductive pitch there is — money for nothing — by bad faith actors with enormous wealth❞

Yes, and also by the pitch of •power• for nothing.

No matter how small of a person they are inside, no matter whose boot they’re under, patriarchy promises every man that they can have power over •someone•, that they are entitled to at least one sphere of their own life in which •they• are the tyrant.
