Had an excellent introverted Sunday afternoon exploring some of the less-frequently-listened-to corners of my music collection and working on a blog post (provisionally) titled "Notes from a proto-#Lifehouse"
When Elon was losing class action lawsuits for his blatant, egregious, and widespread racism against Black people, and Black folk were decrying his Alt-right antics and the harm that they cause, everyone was fine. Tesla drivers weren't all the devil. People still cheered SpaceX launches.
Now Elon's Alt-Right antics have come for a much wider circle. Now everyone that stays on Twitter is the devil, and an irredeemably bad person? 🙂🙃
@mekkaokereke If they talk about venture-funded means to achieve that scale, you’re absolutely right I’ll jump all over them. We can’t address the issues with the ways we choose to mediate everyday life with the same mindsets and tools that caused those issues to begin with. Venture capital predicated on near-term, high-multiple exits (also known as “venture capital”) kills everything it touches.
@herhandsmyhands Don’t know Pratchett, but that’s a (wonderful) perspective I associate with the late Colin Ward. I’d certainly like to see more of it in the world.
