The people of Muskogee will have their revenge on Jack Dorsey

I read it in high school. Iirc, the main character in 1984 deeply hates a woman he works with and his violent fantasies about her are tied up in his desire to rebel against the regime. He later overcomes his desire to commit violence against her by having sex with her. His contempt for her fairly leapt off the page when I read it. I'm sure it's arguable what Orwell meant or intended.

In another scene, the middle-class protagonists watch a working-class woman hanging out washing and tell themselves that if there was any hope for freedom, it lay in "the proles" (members of the mass underclass, like that woman). But the way they look at her and talk about her is dehumanizing.

It's probably easier to just read 1984 yourself and make up your own mind. it's not a very long book.

Update: I got an extension 😇

He didn't mean it as a compliment!

My answer to bike theft is to scrap all the cop cars and make the police ride bikes. After the 500th police bike theft you bet they'd find a solution

Isn't this what happened to that creepy bloke on Tumblr. Maybe all rationalist-adjacent bloggers eventually shit themselves to death after trying to fix their health problems with punishing exercise regimes and dodgy supplements.

Do these eejits really think something that lives on a computer is immortal?

There's an Instagram account called sexchange.tbt that posts trans ephemera from the past ~40 years - website screenshots, articles, old zines. Anyway, they posted the music video for "Young James Dean" by Girlyman.

embed physics into computation

Ok, have I been sniffing glue or is computation not the result of physics?

I'd love to know what he thinks they should play.

Great to hear that. I did hear about the recent election but wasn't sure where things were, what Tusk's views are etc.

Ah, shameless propaganda.
