I know some of you might read this and say "these people can't be stupid! These people run companies! They make huge deals! They read all these books!" and my answer is that some of the stupidest people I've ever met have read more books than you or I will read in a lifetime. While they might be smart when it comes to corporate chess moves or saying "this product category should do this," none of these men - not Altman, Pichai or Nadella - actually has a hand in the design or creation of any of the things their companies make, and they never, ever have. Regardless, I have a larger point: it's time to start mocking these people and tearing down their legends as geniuses of industry. They are not better than us, nor are they responsible for anything that their companies build other than the share price (which is a meaningless figure) and the accumulation of power and resources. These men are neither smart nor intellectually superior, and it's time to start treating them as such.

I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

I like how the democrats position is “they should have asked permission that we would have granted because we can’t appear weak on foreign policy to NYT op ed writers”

Much principle, many brave

MArkieff Morris might disagree

Abolish useless fucking cowardly leadership.

I take a deep dive into my new novel, DARK FUTURE with Adam Chapman of the COMICS SHENANIGANS podcast. We also have an in depth discussion about the just-concluded SPIDER-MAN '94.

Trump still says that democrats want to ban cows.

The trick, as always, is in not selling the new outlets that begin to the same old money hoarding monsters.

It's the beginnings of a way forward I think. As institutions fall and become corrupt, new sources are cropping up and new ways of getting information.

The basic enshitification of the internet principle, just with old grey ladies.

Vaguely credulous articles that treat anything he says as having meaning after all these years are my least favorite genre.

Time keeps rolling with the wheel of reincarnation in ‘Reinventing the Wheel’ by Bernie Mojzes in AfterPunk, steampunk in the afterlife. amzn.to/2KOHNlG @davidleesummers.bsky.social

If there is any one thing they fear, it's being treated according to merit.

I don't understand how this entire Sixers team can collectively get the yips.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Once they let the Doge people have the data, it was all over.

It's almost impressive to still be putting this shit out 10 or so years into all this. I've never been that committed to such an insane bit.

I'm a union fan, had no idea there were so many here. Thanks for this!

Honestly, what does the guy who posted about sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason know about the state of the union?

I'm editing this book now and it's going to be so very good.

Just an exceptional collection of stories. Can't wait for people to read it!

I swear to God, someday one of these media outlets is going to drop kayfabe about Trump having reasons for doing what he's doing beyond what he actually says.

Not today apparently.
