O’Kelley’s [sic] says billionaires represent “such an incredibly ludicrous waste of money in a world where there’s so many people who don’t have that,” but he says actually being one is also “othering”—separating you from the limits and consequences that define normal life. “There’s something about keeping connected to normalcy that is really, really important,” the entrepreneur explains. “I don’t want a yacht and I don’t ever want to be able to be without consequences. I think that’s the biggest risk, is, how can we be accountable when we have so much money we can buy anything?”

He gets it. Past a certain point, wealth erodes your humanity. I think I'd have picked $100M too - at a safe 4% return that's $4M per year, plenty for anybody to live on but not megayacht money.

Isn't it weird how much harder it is for them to tip the scales on Lemmy and Mastodon, platforms without algorithms designed by right-wing billionaires?

They should recommend switching to Firefox instead. It's clear that Google cannot be allowed to have a monopoly on browsers.

Replying to a 10-year-old tweet is a power move in itself.

If they give in

lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn't want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.

I have to keep using the megacorporate OS because the other megacorporation won't let me play their slop game unless they can install a virus on my computer!

Carney also called him a "transformational president" who "revitalized international security" and Trump nodded "it's true!" because he's too stupid to realize it wasn't a compliment.

Yeah, this is self-aggrandizement from a group of people who consistently believe they're smarter than everybody else, when in reality they just lack self-awareness. Nerds will smugly post in this thread using their overpriced mechanical keyboard as a wall of Funko pops and Star Wars slop looms behind them. I worked in marketing for a long time and I know damn well I'm not immune to it.

McCaskill expressed concern about the entitlement and lack of accountability shown by the young man and his mother.

First time meeting Republicans, eh?

I wonder why they feel so emboldened all of a sudden -- the media assures me that what I'm seeing is just normal politics.

"A small price to pay to own the libs!" the drones say as they make boiled leather soup.

How is a "pro-Nazi salute" different from a "Nazi salute"?

Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:

And yet if you click that journalist's profile, the ONLY social media link is to that festering shithole. Journalists are complicit and enabling Twitter to do this by treating it as a legitimate platform and the default place for news.

Is this one of those NFTs the kids are talking about?

Wow, he's the guy in the Matt Bors comic:

I see the media's extreme reluctance in calling white people "terrorists" continues.
