Ett politiskt misslyckande om du frågar mig. Från SCB
"Hälften med låga inkomster har fortsatt låga inkomster fem år senare
Andelen personer med långvarigt låga inkomster har ökat de senaste åren och är nu tillbaka på samma nivå som för nästan 25 år sedan."
Nu sitter en underklass fast och gör vad som helst för pengar, de tar dåligt betalda jobb och har ändå inte tillräckligt med flis för att klara mer än livhanken.
No Denmark 😔

Maybe some of the people who had surrendered to despair last week, to their imagined inevitability of the Trump Gang's onslaughts, will start to recognize the power of outrage, organization, and resistance, will take to heart Rebecca Solnit's warnings against "premature surrender"—against turning legitimate fear into false certainty.
Had a dream last night where I offered shelter from some incoming rain in the "cat storage" shed.
They apologized for it was all they could offer, but I was happy!
Squeezed myself right in there with like 30 sleepy cats :3
The Last Living American White Male: A Novel of Obsolescence and Love
The title may make you uncomfortable. That was the point. For the past year, I have been living inside a grey city that exists only in my imagination, spending my days with a garbage man named Robert James Miller and an administrative processing unit named Alma. Today, their story is finally available to readers. The Last Living American White Male…
There are days when I feel more lonely than usual, and I wonder if that will ever change. The problem is, there's a whole lot of unusual things I need, probably due to a combination of being on the spectrum, with all the oversensitivity of the senses, rich imagination and the trauma from past relationships.
So right now my girlfriend couldn't smoke, support capitalism, use strong perfumes, wear noisy shoes, jewelry, piercings, makeup, long nails, long/thick eyelashes… and probably there would be more if I put my mind to it. And it's only clear that the list will get longer with more experiences…

I had not yet submitted myself to a deep dive into Thiel's theology, but it's way more interesting than I had imagined, and explains why he would call his company Palantir, which has always seemed a baffling choice to me. Apparently he's read One Piece, and imagines himself to be constructing A World Government?!?
Also I feel I understand a lot of things about Silicon Valley better now including lots of stuff about social network harms & corporate goals/policies. Belief in Girard's theory of mimetic desire (which I'd not encountered before) explains so much of SV founders' behavior and also it being at least partially reflective of reality explains both their success and some of their harms.
Can you imagine calling yourself a royal in this day and age.
Oh, you’re a king are you? Is that fun? Do you get to play with swords?
How’re these people not laughed out of every room they enter?
