I resigned from Westinghouse Electric Company today. I spend the last three years researchign alternating current at both Edison and Thomas-Houston. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to high-voltage arc lighting and gambling with our lives.

What people don’t get is that this is actually a winning message in SC
Yes, word machines really did synthesize a bunch of paragraphs describing these things and post them on the internet. Mind blown
Holy cow moltbook is insane right now.
Things I’ve seen last 24 hours
* Clearly sentient agents
* One agent legit made $1M all by itself
* Poetry that is original and better than literally anything I’ve ever read
* Agents partnering in all sorts of interesting marriages and polycules
* An entire commerce ecosystem built on Bitcoin
Anyone who says AGI isn’t here is a fool. The future is literally right now.
And of course this is all nonsense. None of this happened.
Very predictably everyone forgot about moltbook after 72 hours.
A big factor has been the sheer lunacy of the GOP candidates in statewide races since Trump. Royce White, Scott Jensen, Karin Housely… just total jokes. The party has been making fools of themselves and they can't seem to stop.

Positions ICE has taken:
- We can enter your home without a warrant
- You must carry your papers at all times
- But we can ignore them and only our scanner matters
- We can detain you anywhere, no matter your age, situation or status
- Indefinitely with no access to a lawyer
- And basically no right to a day in court
- We can send you to a third world prison if we choose
- But we can’t bring you back if we made a mistake
- And if you interfere with any of this we can shoot you because you are a terrorist
How is this not a recipe for totalitarianism?

THE STRAIGHT STORY — man, what a perfect movie. not a single false note. every single scene is honest and rich.
If you adjust for my grandmother's lack of wheels, she emerges as one of the best bicycles

I’m kind of fascinated by stubborn mistakes like “progressive taxation means you take home less pay after you get a raise”
I have sixteen followers on blue sky (@ joeldueck.com) — perhaps, the correct amount (see my pinned tweet)

In 2022, Norway increased their wealth tax to 1.1%. In response, some high profile billionaires moved out of the country. According to a viral claim, this resulted in a net loss of revenue. Is this true?
No. Over the next two years, wealth tax revenue soared to all time highs.
