The “Dinergoth” article is a part of the bottomless genre of “I felt slighted by a particular person but I’m going to act like I’m mad at them for a profound think piece reason instead of how I’m just a goober”

The piece doesn't say it directly, but Dems basically need a liberal version of Buckley's fusionism — the combination or "fusion" of traditionalist and social conservatism with economic right-libertarianism. Ossoff is one of the few who could actually build this.

Walmart has filed a patent for systems that use AI to predict demand and automatically adjust prices. It is installing electronic shelf labels across all US stores. Labels can be remotely updated automatically. The patent that "helps merchants make decisions" is a machine that makes the decision and hands a merchant the paperwork?

Every time I see Reza Pahlavi I just think of those self-proclaimed ”Gypsy kings” that sometimes appear on the news.

My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors' house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I've tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I'm out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world's poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they're richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren't feeling it only because fish don't notice water.
