@robbystarbuck “It tickles me that my vote will cancel Paul Krugman's.”

Many of these people would genocide us if they could get away with it. Never forget that. And they’d turn right around and pretend to be tolerant lovers of diversity and democracy without even a hint of irony or consideration that they might be the bad guys in this story. Evil.

@holisticgrenade 100%. It is just a 6-fig jobs program. When I was a major gifts officer I'd try to tell rich people to stop funding these scams but they keep expanding and fooling people and we all know cancers have just been accelerating.

Cancer research is a SCAM! $200 billion is spent on cancer research every year but the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in the global number of cancer deaths since 1990. A lot of people are getting EXTREMELY rich off of cancer.

@cenkuygur LOL, "are we free anymore?" From what I've read and seen, the arc of the universe is long, and it stubbornly curves in whatever direction tramples the most people for the benefit of the few... where have you been living?

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

@Pastpassport I distinctly remember how LIT my local Blockbuster was in the late 90s... staff were judgy film buffs... in Helsinki we have this treasure ... amazing selection of DVDs and Blu-Ray, since 1997! pienileffakauppa.fi

People hated Blockbuster's late fees. And the movie you wanted was always gone. One location survives in Bend, Oregon. People drive hours to photograph it. The Sumerians felt this too. The first things humans ever wrote included someone complaining that the world used to be better. That was 5,000 years ago. We never change. Article in comments.

@georgegalloway The man who built the Taj Mahal, 8th wonder of the world!

Absolutely right Sir!

@readswithravi I'm possible!

Though "happiness" in Finland isn't dependent on winning hockey titles, this is pretty cool, but it can't match the energy that hit Helsinki in 1995 beating Sweden in Stockholm... will never forget that! yle.fi/a/74-20229038

@TheAnatomysur gotta get the juice back, y'all

We are not physically exhausted. We are existentially exhausted. We are spending years living without a sense of purpose, while still forcing ourselves to function normally every day.

@zerohedge Just go to Serbia on vacation and it'll revive! the freedom to sit in a cafe in Skadarlija or somewhere and smoke for hours...

@AuthorGFAllen If Faulkner hadn't written that Appendix to The Sound and the Fury...

Make books great again!

@JesslovesMJK Or you can just hang out on your porch rocker, whittling, and watch the tumbleweeds pass.

Seriously. WTF America? Ticks? Ebola? Super storms? Fungal storms? Reptilian overlords in congress? Christ, it's no wonder so many good movies come out of there.

@f45c1ol1Tt0R1O @archi_tradition tutto molto divertente, ma amo l'etimologia... e non pretendo di parlare napulitano!

@rj_2 @archi_tradition tranquillo. succede a molti, è normale. Gli errori succedono quando non si presta attenzione. una buona regola sarebbe quella di adottare i nomi originali delle regioni nella lingua del posto, altrimenti è meglio usare un inglese molto tecnico, che sia fedele all'originale 😉

What is your favorite region of Italy?

@toobaffled I always love pointing out the endless contradictions in our world and often the response is just "well, I never thought of it that way... you're right, but it's just the way things are done!" oh ok.

@f45c1ol1Tt0R1O @archi_tradition Mi sono sempre confusa quando ho iniziato a imparare l'italiano perché ero in Campania e volevo sempre mettere la "g"... e poi hanno modernizzato il latino Sardinia... Che casino!

@f45c1ol1Tt0R1O @archi_tradition ma ... Certo che sì!

@rj_2 @archi_tradition Sardegna, in italiano 🙂

I was starting to believe all the bad things people were saying about data centers until I saw this cinéma vérité, unflinching documentary about how this small town is thriving thanks to the Cloud -- right near Farmer Bill's massive potatoe farm in E WA -- I think that's him in the orange truck! unlocked.microsoft.com/quincy-growth/

@davidicke you must not care about the survival of small towns. this is a real tear-jerker... what would they do without these beautiful data centers ... which happend to be right by Farmer Bill's massive potato farm... unlocked.microsoft.com/quincy-growth/

I have said for 36 years that a hidden network is driving the direction of human society into extreme dystopia. Now it's on public display. An anti-human agenda by a non-human force.
