I'd wanted a VR headset since back whenever the first generation of Oculus Rifts were being worked up. Then this guy went all Trumpite, so fuck that.

Something I've thought often but never posted--turns out I wasn't alone. Ironic how the ones always blowing on about hard times and strong men are usually the weak men in the process of making those hard times.

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

The irony is that E___ M___ does make a good case for humanity spreading out from Earth because then it means people can get away from him.

I just learned that people are feeding hemp to cows now. The steaks have never been higher.

Trump’s “flood the zone”-declare one horrid policy after another-is designed to make us feel disconnected and defenseless. The only answer is to connect and fight back. We need to express our collective resistance ASAP

There is now a continual drumbeat of anger on my feed and I wish it weren't so, but it's starting to drown everything out.

After two months of faffing, the Xcrement is stricken from my phone and my life. May it rot and die in darkness.

Love to see another annoying coffee person percolating.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture. The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention. Here’s how they did it... 🧵

I'm feeling a little weirded out. I've been following a huge number of those academic starter packs, but I've never expected so many people to start following me back! I'm just a humble layman who wants to learn and hasn't much to say.

I'm far away from the US, and Trump's victory won't affect me meaningfully in the short term. All this gets me is time to sit and think--how can I help from my place of safety? People will be hurt. People will need help. What can I do?
