When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
Me: Refreshing! I wish more people were like that!
David Byrne: Psycho Killer
Properly rated as president, underrated as secretary of commerce
I doubled down (nearly) on 66 fascinating hours of the audiobook of The Power Broker, by listening to about 30 *more* hours of @romanmars.bsky.social and Elliott Kalan discuss it. Worth every second. Clever, funny, richly rewarding on every level. Sending warm vibes of gratitude to all involved.
So glad you enjoyed it! It’s been a career highlight project for me

I cannot emphasize enough that I do not give a shit who does and does not have immigration status here in the USA. Just absolutely not a useful descriptor of a person to me.
It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.
Trials for every ICE member.
ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.
🟨 Big big big thanks to @99pi.org and @romanmars.bsky.social for featuring Audio Flux in this week's episode! An honor, a fab mix of fluxworks from across circuits, and very fun to yak about all of them. 🟨

Loved it!
I liked it! I also dug the movie. It was a good homage, I think
Oh yeah, I like him! I haven’t read nearly enough.
Lonesome Dove is an all time favorite and many similar qualities, but the bonus with True Grit is you can zip through it in a couple days.
I always want to be reading a novel like True Grit. Are there more novels like True Grit?
I met him at a party once in early 2016 and was so appalled by him and all the other proto-manosphere, proto-tech bro MAGA types that I never spoke to the host again. These people had poisoned souls before Trump gave them permission to be awful.
Standard!
