Not because I'm Jewish, but because I'm a sentient adult with a sense of compassion for all humans, I'm logging off here for good. Here's hoping @austinkleon @mattyglesias and everyone else I follow fully moves to one of the other short-post social media sites, too.

Fun fact is that Seattle has approximately the same population density as Staten Island – at Washington, DC

It turns out that it’s hard to control the actions of a highly intelligent, hard-working, and charismatic agent.

It doesn’t matter that George Santos spent campaign cash on OnlyFans. We have entered a suicide pact with the fossil fuel industry. Each day our window of opportunity to escape this death cult narrows. Catastrophe is imminent. This cannot go on. Don’t you see?

Plenty of water for California and Nevada - stop growing silage for cattle! One family of farmers takes more Colorado River water than the entire Las Vegas metro area, to grow hay to feed livestock: projects.propublica.org/cali…

News: we just made Fed Chairman Jerome Powell **flee** his own keynote address. Powell could phase out fossil fuel financing but he refuses. He fiddles as we burn. This man is a monstrosity. His grandchildren will curse him. We did what we did and we do not apologize.

Just incredible accuracy on this McKinsey parody video. The most impressive grift in the history of business.

Fascinating. I was looking for some early predictions of the cloud and its impact on working/living for my book and came across this clipping. Arthur C Clarke predicted remote working, the cloud, the death of distance and the decline of cities in 1964. #ContrarianReads

There is a man at my local pub who only ever comes in on Wednesdays, at 1pm. His weekly routine is identical; he orders a bottle of champagne (on ice), and drinks it slowly, in silence, whilst reading an old book. This man is winning at life.

Your annual reminder that the economics "Nobel" isn't one of the five Nobel Prizes established by Alfred's will in 1895 but was created in 1968 by Sweden's central bank.
