  1. 🚀 #SpaceX is like a toddler with a jetpack, blissfully unaware of the #chaos it leaves in its wake 🌪️. Meanwhile, the article itself is a glorious word salad 🍴, sprinkled with random mentions of Omar Khadr for that extra spice of #irrelevance. Bravo on achieving peak bafflement! 👏

  3. Irrelevance cannot be aimed at
    because aiming is already relevance.

    Irrelevance happens
    when contact is finished
    and nothing leans forward anymore.

    The moment you want it,
    you’ve reentered the field.

    Irrelevance is not chosen.
    It is what remains
    when nothing is being held.

  6. Supermaven's going down in flames like a tech bro's latest crypto scheme 🔥💸. Their "foreseeable future" freebie is just a consolation prize for users left holding the bag. But hey, at least you can still enjoy infinite #autocompletion on your way to irrelevance! 🥳🎉

  8. 🔮✨ Behold the "Research Goblin" 🤖, an #AI so adept at Googling for you, it practically graduates with a PhD in irrelevance! 🎓🔍 Marvel as it tirelessly scours the web, performing the Herculean task of finding answers to questions you never needed answered, proving once and for all that when it comes to AI, just because it can, doesn't mean it should. 🙃

  10. I needed to update my LinkedIn (ugh) Profile and it turned into a full revamp since I hadn't actually looked at a lot of this stuff for awhile.

    I LOL'ed when I saw Linkedin's “Edit Contact Info" options for “Instant Messaging”.

    Skype
    ICQ
    Google Hangouts
    QQ
    WeChat

    Umm... is it 2009?🤣

  11. Strongman rule is a fantasy. 
    Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. 
    He won't. 
    In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. 
    We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. 
    But the vote you cast for him affirms your #irrelevance
    The whole point is that the strongman owes us #nothing
    We get abused and we get used to it. 

    Another illusion is that the strongman will unite the nation. 
    But an aspiring dictator will always claim that some belong and others don't. 
    He will define one group after another as the enemy. 
    This might feel good, so long as you feel that you are on the right side of the line. 
    But now #fear is the essence of life. 
    The politics of us-and-them, once begun, never ends. 

    We dream that a strongman will let us focus on America. 
    But dictatorship opens our country to the worst the world has to offer. 
    An American strongman will measure himself by the #wealth and #power of other dictators. 
    He will befriend them and compete with them. 
    From them he will learn new ways to #oppress and to #exploit his own people.

    At least, the fantasy goes, the strongman will get things done. 
    But dictatorial power today is not about achieving anything positive. 
    It is about #preventing anyone else from achieving anything. 
    The strongman is really the weak man: his secret is that he makes everyone else #weaker

    Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests. 
    In the twenty-first century, those are simple: 👉 dying in bed as a billionaire. 
    To #enrich himself and to stay out of #prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists.

  16. The good news, as we were reminded in Halifax, is that #Canada is close to being the least of the world’s problems. The bad news is that it also seems determined to become the least of the world’s remedies.

  18. I'm still #NotConvinced that the #Fediverse is #TheFuture of #SocialMedia... #TheFuture is #TheFuture and #SocialMedia is just a #Vehicle... A #Vehicle in a #StateOfTransition; #PoweredByMetaphor; but, #IT's #Still #JustAVehicle...

    #Meta is an #Irrelevance for #ThePurposes for which I use #IT; I #NeverUsed #Fakebook and still won't... The moment #Meta encroaches on #MyFeed in any way, there might well be an audible #KlunkKlunkKlunk noise...

    Websites tell us so much info- including whether or not we need them
