What is a zapathon exactly and what's the point of it? I'm not being snarky - I'm genuinely curious.

It's currently the morning of the 21st here in Australia but I had to quit smoking weed anyway. Happy 420! #noistr #doomstr #420

I believe Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" was the first dystopian science fiction novel to be written (at the very least it was the one which inspired Orwell) and it's still one of the best. The society governed by a totalitarian form of technocratic managerialism probably resonates more in the west today than it did in its native Communist Russia of the early 1920s. Zamyatin portrays his future society, known as the One State, as deeply utopian in spirit and his protagonist's growing political disatisfaction is presented as a profound existential crisis manifesting in physical sickness, much like Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov. The narrator's war with his own conscience builds to an ending arguably more horrifying than that of Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four." The technocratic philosophy of the One State was derived in large part from the political writings of HG Wells, which were very much in vogue at the time and continue to influence globalist policy to this day. There aren't too many sci fi novels which will remain quite as relevant 100 years after they were written but "We" feels very much like it could be a commentary on the Current Year. #bookstr

What an odd thing to say.

Lol, every time the price goes up there's a cohort of maxis who act like it's never going to go down again.

Nostr nests seem really cool. I just wish I had a use for it.

The New York Times said it had identified a “trail of digital evidence” leading to a young air national guardsman as both the leader of the group and the leaker, although they made clear he has not been officially identified as a suspect." How long until the whistleblower comes out as trans? It's his only hope at this stage.

AI bot, ChaosGPT tweet plans to 'destroy humanity' after being tasked

I thought it was perfectly normal to not watch TV these days, but some people still recoil like you're some sort of psycho when you tell them.

Some day I hope to accumulate enough zaps that I can buy Twitter and ban all the sass-talking brand accounts. You know the ones.

Having worked for a corporation and within the government bureaucracy what struck me most was how they are identical in structure, with both following the old Soviet model of a hierarchy of committees. This is partly why the idea of "get woke, go broke" is a fallacy. The people who work for corporations are less interested in company profits than personal power, and aggressive leftist politics is the easiest shortcut to jump from one level in the hierarchy to the next.

The absolute state of American culture in 2023.
