The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security's "death master file," which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is β€” we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Trump's Tariffs Aren't Economics. They're a Cultural Purge | Washington Monthly Trump's blunderbuss tariff policies are a declaration of war on the half of America that didn’t vote for him.

A worthwhile read.

i think it’s a good learning experience! and a vivid example of why it’s important not to trust the opinions you had in high school.

like, i didn’t even know I was trans when i read it. i think i just remember being like β€œwow trans theory! cool! she must know more about this than i do!” and also i was on tumblr and absorbing a lot of tumblr brainworms. but again, i’m not attached to that opinion. it’s based on a vague memory.
