Just learned about Ken Isaacs' "Superchair" (1967).
Built-in book rest, shelves, lamp, drink tray, and a seat back that folds into a bed.
A place for "inventive work and the individual search for peace of mind", as he put it.
It was meant for people to build it themselves, hence the almost unfinished look. Blueprints were published in Popular Science in 1968.

AS I GROW OLDER LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER IS STARTING TO FEEL LESS CAUTIONARY AND MORE ASPIRATIONAL.
English
As inflation causes homeownership costs to soar, including mortgage rates, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and taxes, real estate prices will crash. The recent collapse in mortgage and refi applications is the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath is a crisis worse than 2008.

@SenMarkKelly Correction sir, no doubt he had an idea on how it would affect everyday Americans, he just doesn't give a shit...

This is from a gas station in Phoenix yesterday: $6.49 for a gallon of gas. All because Trump started war with no plan and no idea how it would affect everyday Americans.
I'm fighting to suspend the federal gas tax to bring families some relief, but what they really need is a president focused on lowering their costs.

@fuckyouiquit they want total loyalty and commitment to the cause and will give none in return...

No matter how hard you work, how badly you bleed, how little days you miss, how much time you miss with your kids, how invaluable you are to the company, they will still axe you the second a single quarter goes sideways. Loyalty is always one sided.

Benicio del Toro is my favorite part of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. This is what I consider to be an example of perfect casting. Del Toro would be the absolute number 1 individual I would want on a hellbent trip like this. His charisma is on full display in this film.

@zerohedge This was before the war and before the big rise in mortgage rates. The next shoe to drop will be housing prices, which are about to crash. The current bubble housing bubble is even bigger than the one that popped in 2007.

what a beautiful, unique soulful experience late last night with this homeless man in Las Vegas. he called my name as I walked by. I was surprised so I stopped to say hello and help him out with a little cash. He told me a story how he was at the launch of the #vanhalen #1995 balance Tour in #pensacolaflorida he told me what I was wearing that night, things I said. Remembered #jonstewart introducing us. this man was intelligent, kind, spiritual, and elegant. We talked for a while, and it was enlightening for me to realize how many people like him, families, etc., that have become #homeless I can see it. I just don't know what to do about it.

@eurofounder wow 5k for the gay sauna, that's pretty reasonable...

My friend moved to San Francisco to work as a Staff Engineer at OpenAI
His salary? $30,000 a month
A lot of money right? Well, the reality was different:
$12,000 - rent, studio with no windows
$7,000 - tip for the landlord
$5,000 - subscription to gay sauna
$4,000 - rehab after fentanyl addiction
$2,000 - Asian prostitutes
$1,000 - Tesla lease payment
Soon he found himself in immense debt and nearly took his own life
Please, think twice before chasing the “American Dream”

@PeterSchiff Don't worry Peter when Trump leaves that won't be his problem...
English
The U.S. national debt just surpassed $39 trillion, up $2.8 trillion since Trump took office 14 months ago. But as war costs soar, interest rates rise, and recession ensues, budget deficits will skyrocket. The national debt could hit $50 trillion before Trump leaves office.

Arizona families are working overtime just to pay rent. Meanwhile, billionaires pay lower tax rates than our teachers and firefighters. We need to start rewarding hard work again.

- Get stabbed by a homeless guy in a parking lot
- Go to a hospital, pay $6,000 for a visit

This is the true American dream

America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
