His actions aren't the behavior of manipulation of the highest order being perpetuated by some shadowy elite but of fully lumpen subject being mystified by the very cultural conflicts produced by the system that he himself benefits from.
What makes the Elon situation so fascinating is that he is the first indication of the mechanics of rule being so thoroughly algorithmically determined that lumpenization is occurring at the highest echelons of the ruling class.
That sucks but nice shirt. Levon was the man
I can't imagine giving a shit about most anything happening in that building
I work in water treatment and let me stress that this is very bad
Got that feeling you get when you sneeze and you know it's no ordinary sneeze but a prologue to something miserable.

If next Friday, when I get paid, my check is $1700, but I also rob an old lady for $1000, then I became $2700 richer and the overall economy between me and her went up $1700. That's Bidenomics.
Okay time to hunker down and figure this site out. There isn't a reality where I would pay to use that other site and I can't imagine the people I follow are going to either.
Gorillaz will always be that mid side project by the singer from Blur to me
Now Elon’s garbage app is locking up and crashing my iPhone - takes 5-10 to reboot the whole device. Happening to anyone else that still uses that hell app?
Reminder: All flood water is shit water. By the time you've got water in city streets it means your sewers are backed up. ITS ALL SHIT. Don't drink it, don't let it get close to mucus membranes if you can avoid it, avoid touching it if at all possible. Its all fun and games until you get dysentery.
One of those Porsche station wagon looking things
What book next?
That Trump/RBG/Tiny Dancer moment was so wild that I was saying “I’m just now hearing this for the first time” so much that it just wormed its way into my speech and now I say it all the time involuntarily.
It would be so much easier for a mass labor movement to cohere around a couple of parties rather than having to compromise themselves by orienting themselves toward left-presenting anti-labor parties
This was my attempt to make a list of parties if we had representation of every ideology that would participate in electoral politics. There would be some issue-dependent overlap and collaboration but it would be so much better than trying to cram all these discordant ideologies into 2 parties.
Not this again yikes
Ended up getting 5 e-books for $15. Can’t beat that.
Wow 20 followers in a few hours? That would take the average blue check roughly 7 years.
I’m in northern Ohio and we also “pop” country
Thanks for the heads up - still have like 20 books to work through from their last sale but wouldn’t hurt to stock up some more
all eebooks from @versobooks.bsky.social are 70% off, until tomorrow or today, not sure....3 USD a book, yeah i am stacking up!! lol
No kidding it’s almost too good to be true.
I’m like, wait, I didn’t have to block 5 random sociopaths screaming about how trans people are subhuman to get to 1 post by someone I follow
Just showed up here and it’s so weird to only see posts from people I actually follow
I just got my code today and then saw Elon’s tweet and thought “good timing”. That other site feeds me nothing but right wing talking heads and no matter how many I block it always seems to drudge up more.
