Everywhere I see “self-made billionaire”I see the toxic delusion threatening our survival as a species. Can we be impressed by leadership and success and still retain some form of basic critical intelligence? Even an army of bots is not self-made.

Your iPhone connections to @comcast/@Xfinity wifi fail if you enable Private Browsing. This is total BS. We must be allowed to use the VPN of our choice and service providers that block them, publicly shamed. (regional restrictions is a 90's excuse.)

What kind of pathology leads someone on the path of becoming a “global weapons merchant?”
Hey software devs, consider the possibility that your next boss is currently modeling himself as a libertarian disruptor with narcissistic impulses he will never retrain. Set your own terms and values in your work and don’t let him damage you.

Sorry about the lack of beer at the matches #WorldCup2022 fans. How about a crude oil bath at the local spa instead?
Instead of fighting electric cars use your imagination. Oil Age is over and done. History books.

The Deep State is one part deeply incompetent political appointees and one part deeply confused public. Closest we ever got so far was GHWB aka POTUS#41.
So Americans feel powerless to stop a would-be autocrat and his party from discrediting the fragile voting system and social contract that underlies the whole concept of self-governance? Or maybe they really don’t care?
