#Caturday

It's weird to me that Musk is CEO of like 5 companies and no one has drawn the conclusion that CEO is an incredibly easy job that shouldn't pay anywhere near as much as it does

People insist that Santa is white. Some say, he is Black. Isn’t this all just wrong? I once saw Santa in the internment camps, and he was most definitely Asian.

After Substack's decision to platform Nazis, I deleted my newsletter and my account and made a clean break.

I'm now publishing my work on tech, economics and humans on a platform I control.

In a year where I've already lost 30,000 followers by deleting Twitter, this is a tough one.

Unless my paid subscribers resubscribe, I'm down $500 ARR and paying $400 in hosting fees.

But it's worth it to stand by my values.

I don't know...there's just something about Bluesky's new logo that seems so...

...familiar.

Ludicrous shat-through-a-tube future of transport Hyperloop was officially abandoned this week, proving once again that atmospheric railways suck.

The victim of unsolvable technological problems like "what happens if you want to go around a corner?", Hyperloop nonetheless achieved its primary aims of attracting investment away from boring old high speed rail. Y'know, the stuff that actually works.

Good morning, afternoon or evening Mastodon friends!

Pax is up and having lots of fun this morning tipping over boxes on top of the refrigerator. You can be sure, wherever Pax goes mayhem ensues.

No, he's not denying. It's sort of hard to deny something when there is a tape recording.

A 17-year-old Black student in a blindingly white town in south NJ wrote to us about the violence and harassment he's been subjected to by a gang of white classmates. He's asked the school administration to protect him and defend his civil rights and they've done nothing. Recently, two carloads of the bigots tormenting him chased him to his front lawn and attacked him.

What would you do if you were in this young man's shoes?
What are you willing to do to defend him?

The last four years have been very hard and packed to the brim with loss.

My fervent hope is that 2024 is the year of abundance for me, for you, for us all.

Happy Holidays. See you in 2024.

My former boss and current friend has a hilarious wellbeing checklist:

1. Does everyone seems to want to kill me? Then I need to eat.

2. Do I want to kill everyone? Then I need to sleep.
