I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

The rock lobster murders its mate with eager glee, and the onlookers respond only with "pass the tanning butter". We cannot dance around this mess. I must retreat to my own private Idaho where the skies are charcoal gray and the cars are as big as whales.

The name tells you all you need to know about the significance of Sardinia’s most elusive pasta: su filindeu, the threads of God. Of the more than 350 officially recognized shapes of pasta in Italy, this is considered the rarest. nyti.ms/42JMzdu

Maybe it would be a good thing if taxing the rich got them to work less. Get out of the office where you're surrounded by other rich people and all these nice amenities. Get out in the real world and see how normal people live. Experience the crumbling infrastructure.

A great passive aggressive thing to do when engaged in a customer service battle with a big enshittified company is to refer to your notes and say "And here in Exhibit A -- That's just my numbering system -- we have..."

Do you ever have a gadget last longer than you expected so you feel like you owe the company more money? For me it's my Jabra Solemate portable Bluetooth speaker. Going strong for over a decade. I've bought countless headphones in that time, but it's the only portable Bluetooth speaker I've had.

Cocktail recipe: Combine 6 parts gin with 1 part dry vermouth in the glass. Do not shake or stir. Garnish with pickled onion. It's called a William Gibson. The cocktail's here, it's just not evenly distributed.

I hear this argument that even if you tax the rich at 100% and assume they don't leave, that's still not enough to pay for all these social programs. But what about the second order effects that come from the fact that they can no longer afford to buy all the politicians?

Do you all dry your tomatoes before putting them on your sandwiches? Am I the only one making these wet ass sandwiches? Are my tomatoes juicier? I use kumatos.

@profgalloway.com Some ideas for #resistandunsubscribe Help people find alternative ISPs they don't know about. If you don't have an alternative ISP, you can reduce your service by porting your landline to a VoIP service like Ooma. To attack ad-based businesses, sell a WiFi router with pihole

I think it would be a great tribute to the memory of Virginia Giuffre for her to be portrayed in a Quentin Tarantino movie of an alternate universe where she gets revenge and Epstein and Maxwell get exactly what they deserve.

For my fellow geographically challenged Americans, Venezuela is about 600 miles (1000km) due South of Jeffrey Epstein's Pedophile Island (Little St. James, US Virgin Islands)

Think about how much you speed, compared to how many times you've gotten pulled over for speeding. If you get caught hanging out with sex traffickers, you must hang out so much, with so many sex traffickers!
