That's not how thermodynamics works. The universe won't decay into a formless void of no energy at absolute zero. It'll decay into a formless void of very low energy at slightly above absolute zero. You can't destroy energy, you can only spread out out until everything is exactly the same. And since there's much more empty than full in the universe, "exactly the same" will be very close to empty. But we'll gray out, not black out, as entropy increases.

"What does 'woke' mean to you?"

If a Black person is saying it, whatever the fuck they tell me it means. If anyone else is saying it, sweet fuck all.

I don't use it myself. #subtoot #ButNicely

Clearly our ideas of what constitutes "a mandate" differ. That's okay. I'm just not feeling hopeful. #subtoot #ButNicely

I hate to break it to you but Hitler 1.0 wasn't slick or devious either. He pretty much just tweeted it out. No one thought he was being serious either. It's depressing but true. #subtoot #ButNicely

While I sympathize with the impulse to remove corporate branding from one's lexicon, there is a reason not to do that: generic trademarks. That is, if a trademark becomes common-enough parlance, a court can rule that the company can no longer defend its trademark and thus loses control over it. It's slightly more complicated than that, but think kleenex or linoleum, both trademarks which have now become words referring to a type of thing rather than a brand.

Fuck corporations. Make Adobe change the name of Photoshop because it's not allowed to trademark that name anymore. Hell, why do you think Google changed its name to Alphabet?

Yeah, sure, I could set my toots to be ephemeral and embrace the mandala nature of the cosmos, but unlike you my toots are brilliant performance art and will be studied by subsequent generations like I'm the second coming of Samuel Motherfucking Pepys. Who am I to deny them the pleasure? #subtoot #ButNicely
