So Twitter rebalancing for PvP and reinstating Trump and that Kara Swisher thread like\u2026 it’s Elon’s Carnegie library system, huh? Not run for revenue maximization but for charitable purpose of\u2026 preserving the old Internet Culture.
That's\u2026 fucking amazing. And I guess he’s the only person in the place such that he could do that. Like, going to Mars feh, even at max speed that’ll never matter in my lifetime but like, my god. That’s absolutely worth working yourself to death for.
Like, last decade when I was like “just stick in there, this wave’ll roll back” yeah, I derived that lesson from history, but let me assure you it doesn’t go this cleanly. Like, not even in half-mythical ancient history, maybe in legends.
Taking like everything since let’s say 2014, that was like a Super SSS EX++ stage clear. Oh, and plus for me at least, after confronting the fact that I am in fact attuned to the zeitgeist, and then the heimlich thing where I look death in the face and say “not today” using the exact skill set I had made a load-bearing part of my self-conception, I fell into a mystical slumber and awoke in every way perfected.
And all of this relies on things lining up so perfectly. Like, you needed the like, Incarnated Spirit of the 80s with the exact particular psychological issues to line up with the political system in the exact right way, and you needed the richest man in the world to have the exact-right Western-adjacent background and the exact right memefuck sensibility and the deal to line up the exact right way\u2026
And meanwhile you needed a 100-year plague to show up at the exact right time, and for me with the exact right characteristics, and then I had to roll a crit on like, a d100000.
What?
