Yup. They used my books, too. But then again, UVA neurosurgeon Dr. Jason Sheehan should be equally pissed off.

It depends on the animal. Against Trump and Musk you have to go large and loud. If you don’t know that, get off the trail.

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
Watch the whole video. Then watch it again. Watch it until you are angry enough to promise yourself that the next time you see something like this happening, you'll be the person who stands up, not the one who steps aside

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site?
Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

Personally I think it should be impossible for Elon and his lil fash army of engineers to go anywhere in Washington without being confronted by a pro-democracy Brooks Brothers riot and maybe one person with a bullhorn reading aloud everything Vivian has ever said about him, just to be petty

31.01.2025 20:22 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Totally worth a re-read. Holds up remarkably well. As do most parts of Snow Crash/Diamond Age. Just re-read both in the past month and a lot of it turned out to be scarily prescient.

Like, how did you have a brain and eyeballs and a few bucks and NOT read Dogfight or Burning Chrome when you were 15...?

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
