How many Patrick Stewarts have we lost to austerity and the immiseration of the many by the few?
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

I'm starting to fall in love with Richard Linklater movies. Our local movie history cinema is showing them and recently we went to see Pale Moon (2005) and today we went to see Before Sunset (2004). These are movies about love and time and people talking and being attracted to each other and they really work for me.
My impressions are on these blog pages:

Vote like it matters.
If it didn't matter, they wouldn't work so hard to keep you from doing it.

I don't want to talk badly about anyone. But Haley Stevens is a traitorous Fetterman MAGA piece of shit!

When you see #HaleyStevens endorsing #MikeRogers because #AbdulAlSayed refuses to support genocide, understand that this is (a) the dying breaths of #Israel's long stranglehold on both major parties, and (b) shameful Islamophobia.
Only 32% of American voters have a favorable view of the Israeli government, down from 47% four years ago.
For Democrats, it's 16%, down from 35%!
If we vote, Stevens and her ilk will lose.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Abdul reacts to #HaleyStevens endorsing #MikeRogers:
This man is always focused on #Michigan families!
The grace with which he is still centering American families is a testament to his commitment to us. To you . To me. To our loved ones. To our children.
O mundo funciona à base de software open source, criado por pessoas trabalhando de graça em prol de um bem comum.

If you’re an elderly Chinese person in SF Chinatown, living in a 8x10 box in Chinatown and being around your friends, walking and taking the bus, eating all the food you care about, having cheap groceries everywhere around you, having health and food services that speak your language, is an infinitely better life than living in a suburb with no one your age and nothing that reminds you of home.
I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand, but over-prioritizing big homes over community and transit and food is what makes people fucking lonely

call it like it is - Milton Friedman got a nobel for coming up with the dystopian plutocracy we currently live in. It's not neo anything, just him and his daddy issues.
Has anyone written about how so much of what happens in tech is actually about who gets to control the tremendous creativity of a subset of neurodiverse people?
