@jgg that’s something that i hadn’t considered, that if you really believe in trickle down, you’ll be rooting for rich people because that’s how you’ll get your money

just walked by where the prospect park brush fire was, and luckily it seems to have only affected dry leaves on the ground. arguably those should be cleared regularly with controlled burns anyway

please. i am begging you. just use a relational database. SQL is really good once you know it. my family is dying

mastodon is fun for people who like to traverse warrens and find communities. kind of naturally repels influencers, which i love

@eaton that depends on a lot of things

the far right knows news doesn’t need to be profitable, which is why they dump exorbitant amounts of funding into alt right media, LLMs, troll farms, etc without an expectation of ROI. they know* it’ll come back to them in the form of tax cuts, weak labor, reduced government spending etc

* it’s false because it works in the short term but destabilizes everything and makes it more expensive in the long term

still on xitter because your community won’t budge? exchange phone numbers and start a group chat. oh wait what’s that? you wouldn’t give them your number? you don’t trust them? that’s no community, and you can safely walk away

@buttondown hi! i’m having trouble with adding an email from an rss feed. it seems to be stuck in “queued.”

@thomasfuchs tried that with my brother. now he lives in the philippines

they should put haptic feedback in electric cars so people who like to feel the rumble of an engine for some reason can still feel it. also, only inside the car, realistic fake engine noises and thick black smoke for the drag racers and coal rollers out there. another idea: screens instead of windows. and the car doesn’t actually go anywhere, it just tilts forwards and backwards to simulate acceleration. you know what? just give’em one of these

today

the defining feature of every corporation is a weird little guy at the top who says odd things and collects vast sums of money
