Don't forget Tiffany. Chick got a 13 carat diamond engagement ring from her fellow lucky sperm club member billionaire husband.
thank you. bookmarked.
At the risk of kind of picking around the edges here ... something caught my eye in #5:
Michael successfully alerted me to the fact that crime has risen by a factor of ten over the past century, which seems REALLY IMPORTANT and nobody else is talking about it and it seems like the sort of thing that more people than just Michael should be paying attention to.
This claim is ridiculous. The homicide rate in the US was something like 30 or 40 per 100,000 people in colonial times, reducing every century, and it's around 5 right now, since the increase from the 1960s - 1990s has gone back down.
Maybe, in the past 100 years, we have passed so many bajillion new statutes that it has increased crime tenfold, but that's not what the reactionaries are saying at all.
This makes sense to me. I went through a Jars of Clay / Switchfoot phase, but never Stryper.
I have heard a couple of really good episodes of The Dig podcast, which is a Jacobin thing. Notably "The German Question" a couple of weeks ago.
"12 foot ladder" helps with the paywall on this one. The article is written in a highly credulous tone. I would have appreciated an interview with someone that was actually receiving income and money in Euros out of the scheme. Like, money money.
At the end - Boston Consulting says that 10% of the market will be tokenized. Sure.

literary fellatio
this is new to me and I like it.
This makes total sense to me. The program lines are the really important stuff, and baseball stats and vestigial organs are like REM in BASIC.
