    Many nations could interfere in Musk's businesses for inteferring in their voting.

    Many many countries, many many many more citizens could.

    A bit tangential, but I highly recommend this #book...

    "Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" by Andrew Koppelman

    I found this book very helpful to understand a) what #capitalism is, b) why (in a well-managed form) it is probably the best economic system we're going to get, c) how conservatives have perverted and shaped it, and d) how to push back.

    The dunning-kruger suite is a corner office

  5. Riffing is ranting but with a lil whimsy

    No bus stops, because then we might be incentivized to address the housing crisis, whoch would decrease the value of our homes by increasing supply / affordability

    Or something idk "abundance" is a canard to avoid talking about the perverse capitalistic incentives shaping society and creating scarcity to maximize the rate of return on investments... It's getting to the point that it's just rent-seeking all the way down, and no one with power is incentivized to recognize it — let alone fix it

  7. RE: freeradical.zone/@FranceskaMan

    Grass lawns are stupid and wasteful. What an awful tradition

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@scienmagcom/1

    Drugs targeting nuclear protein subtypes are neat cuz they can focus on direct transcriptional impact while limiting immediate ionotropic/metabotropic effects... Sometimes you're more focused on long-term transcriptional adaptions than acute effects

  9. Not sure where "vanity spacecraft / submarine project" goes on the list, cuz that's more nation-state level wealth? Like, we let the oligarchs get so rich we have Rockefellers etc again... Not even a class, more like an exclusive collection of robber-barons

  10. Hobbies which double as class signifiers include:
    Yachting
    Polo (requires multiple horses)
    Having dinner with Jeffrey Epstein
    Etc

  11. Seems like the Whitehouse will only exit its nursing home era after entering its hospice era

  12. RE: mastodon.online/@sarahtaber/11

    The human capacity for self-delusion is something we should study more tbh

    Meta-emotional regulation/coping via backflips. "I'm the good guy, actually. Taxes are THEFT! Everyone else is jealous/would do the same in my shoes." Etc etc. Just avoiding introspection / conscious understanding of the self, while perversely centering yourself while reckoning the morality of your excesses. "You can't convince a man of something his paycheck requires that he not believe," but you're picking sycophants

    Couple years old now. Really thought he'd get bigger

  20. Triphala has a much higher ORAC than its constituent ingredients, and I don't like that.

    Is it an artifact of the test we use to determine ORAC? Is it the result of a secondary compound produced by the combination in response to oxidation? Is it just some mistake a chemist made years ago that people never tried to reproduce? WHY!?

    Makes me regret eschewing chemistry in favor of more pure things. I didn't appreciate how much of modern life is chemistry / math is seductive af 😭

  25. I try to listen to new music when it's coming out & try to avoid coming back to it often, so that when i DO listen to older songs I get lots of untouched memories

    Anywho, here's a song from long enough ago you might be a different person

  26. @corbden good words don't have too many definitions. That is, they have not been made into ultraspecific jargon by too many fields, and instead precisely and unambiguously express a concept.

  27. Semicolons may be addictive, but the em dash — ah, the em dash! Could anything be more satisfying? Versatile? Necessary and DELECTABLE… even intoxicating? No: without the em dash, the flow of thought, the warp and weft of the mind itself is interrupted — chopped to bits!

    Verily, I love the semicolon, it is true. But the em dash? The em dash is something without which I could not do.
