Jumbo - Wikipedia

Tonight’s Wikipedia dive is about Jumbo the Elephant. You may think his name was Jumbo because he was so big, but it’s the other way around! Jumbo’s fame in the late 1800s caused the word “jumbo” to enter the English lexicon as a word for “exceptionally large” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo

that's not the point of the post it's not about trying to access media it's about the inability to own anything and how we've become nothing but conduits for data mines and even the slop that's supposed to pacify us is worthless

Watching the video of the DHS guy getting pulled over by highway cops for suspected drunk driving, and it's *incredible* how uncooperative the DHS guy is and how Queen's English cordial the cops are.

good. i want every machine democrat shaking in their boots

fwiw i searched hard and cannot find any source on this wsj or otherwise

apparently, years after i had left, i was still mentioned as "the minecraft guy", an apocryphal tale in the office.

in 2025, this company no longer exists. its office is empty. most of its workforce laid off.

and yet, i can still play minecraft anytime i want.

curious!

my first software job was a salesforce consultancy that did a lot of fed contracts. i was depressed, crunched, mismanaged. so i started coming in late and played minecraft bc none of it mattered. my manager caught me once and was furious. i didn't dislike her, but she def had company loyalty...

rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king

the entire trump administration:

Have you ever seen the genuinely fantastic Japanese box art for this game? The package designer took a look at this funny skeleton with a guitar and went, "Hey that kinda reminds me of the Grateful Dead" and ran with it

yeah, i think that's right. it's just been amplified to the point now where nothing can escape the current

Mao talks about this in On Contradiction, there is a large tendency, which naturally creates a smaller counter-tendency inside of it, and both of these are fighting for dominance

oh it has in terms of individual pieces and works, for sure. i'm looking at trends and direction in the macro here

you'd think such curmudgeonly takes happen when you close yourself off to the world and start to learn less, but i've started to believe this more as i've learned more. reading some comic from the 70s or watching some movie from the 80s and thinking "we really did do all this before decades ago huh"

as i accumulate knowledge and collect more media/art, i'm converging on the idea that ever since the debut of the internet we've just been kinda turning in circles and each lap is a lossy copy of the previous one, now at the point of visible image degradation
