It's a sad commentary on our society. It isn't nearly as healthy as I mistakenly thought it was 10 years ago -- clearly I overestimated how well things were going. That this many would throw away The Great Experiment just boggles the mind.

"I will accept no contrary advice from my councilors, nor advisors, nor my people!" said no non-megalomaniac ever.

Attack the judges, jury, and executioners? Bold strategy, Cotton.

Nor the crazy inflation, apparently.

Btw, thank you for creating. It makes my world a little nicer experiencing new art.

I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.

Does this mean those owing state taxes to Alabama can deduct all their frozen embryos on their taxes?

"We just learned" is a bit of a stretch. Here is a Medium post from 2020, which cites previous interviews and Jon Ronson's 2015 book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed," that explains the problems with the infamous experiment: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/have-we-gotten-the-stanford-prison-experiment-all-wrong-fad09471e79c

Edit: Ah, title is straight from the Vox title, and that article is from 2018

Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It's easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.

As one example of massive damage done in the not terribly distant past: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

Considering this was a spur of the moment snap from the car, and with my phone, I'm happy how it turned out.

I shouldn't feed the trolls...

I suppose the better question is, what did he do right?

  • Taunted Twitter CEO, culminating in what constituted a valid offer to purchase at a very inflated price
  • Tried to back out of his legally made offer
  • Fired the vast majority of staff that knew how to run the site
  • Fired all of the staff in charge of ethics
  • Stopped paying rent and other bills, despite having used the location/services
  • Demanded employees devote their non-sleeping lives to the company
  • Ignored all his other companies, from which he continues to draw paychecks (ok, maybe ignoring them is for their best interest)
  • Failed to pay promised severance
  • Change algorithm to promote his voice above all other
  • Rebrand off of one of the most recognizable names and logos in the world

And these are the ones just off the top of my head.
