Not a surprise that he would like a pro-fascist book. There's a reason that Verhoeven - someone who lived through the fascist occupation in the Netherlands - put it down and decided to make fun of it.

Pretty amazing. I think the encounter with Jack wasn't really necessary - part of the trauma is you really never get to have a conversation to find out why

The UK is trying so hard to out America America - they want to prove that they're still the bestest at imperialism, racism and destruction.

I have to let things like that go because if we go down that path, then depending on what time period we're talking about I'd be asking:
Where are the folks with ricketts and post polio issues? Those uniforms don't have the stitching right. Where's all the horse shit? Everyone has all their teeth?

Good then he won't be influenced by "this is the way we've always done things, we hate change" crew.

Also you don't get to be jailhouse lawyer without learning how shit actually works.

He's had 28 years of experience. I think anyone who's been on the receiving end of our so-called "justice" system for 28 years is better qualified to see the problems and potential fixes than any professional politician.

I'd rather live in an America where he wasn't put in prison to begin with

Oh no, anyway...

I liked him in Lord of War (quite believable as a black market arms dealer), and Dream Theory. Adaptation as well He works best when he's not playing a heroic figure (though I admit I liked him in Season of the Witch. Believe it or not he had great chemistry with Ron Perlman).

We will not be able to techbro our way to inclusive prosperity. If capitalism was able to do that we would've done it by now. Any discussion of new abundance tech without equitable redistribution of resources will end up reproducing inequality

He's perfect for Lord of War, and I thought he was great in Face Off

I'd argue that there's no functional difference between the two.

That doesn't solve the fundamental issue of how wages divide labor and make capitalist exploitation easier. Also, you've just reinvented money but without the paper or advantages. You lose the anonymity and portability of cash and exchanged it for surveillance built into phones or cards

So are you arguing for a Kropotkin-like abolition of wages as part of an Anarcho communist revolution, or just another crypto scheme?

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Fair assessment. I think they were both fun to listen to but not by the 5000th time they were played by my friends or on the radio or (back when MTV played music videos) when the music videos ran nonstop

It was like "Closing Time" before "Closing Time"

I dunno man, I just think Cop Shoot Cop, PJ Harvey and Diamanda Galas kicked almost everyone's ass in the early 90s

You're thinking of Blues Travellers

But if you try to nationalize said oil, the US will send assassins to "enhance the democratic process"

For folks who like the idea of Polycules but don't want the fun parts.

They figured if they glued "poly" on the front instead of "over" the turd might go down easier.

Whenever I try to run up that hill I end up suspended in gaffa.

Sounds crowded. I'll kick back and drink mead with Kate Bush and the forest elves in the Dreaming

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Well, yeah everyone is riding the merry go round as long as possible then they'll parachute out when the bubble bursts

So the circle jerk continues. NVidia invests in OpenAI, OpenAI invests in Invidia, they both invest in data center firms, which invest in... NVidia and OpenAI. It's a game of musical chairs. At least NVidia makes real things.
