Happy to report that the stores no longer have fucking flour and so I can't make any bread to go along with my circuses.

. @MarkJCarney on his way to his private jet didn't expect us to start taking notice and call then out. These people have sworn an oath to represent and work for the people. But they're working actively against us within the confines of anti-democratic institutions like @wef

they say there are no atheists in foxholes but that doesn't really seem to capture the furry dating dynamics i've seen on mastodon

- Written during the First English Civil War, 1643
To my noble friend Sir Ralph Hopton at Wells
Sir,
The experience I have of your worth and the happiness I have enjoyed in your friendship are wounding considerations when I look at this present distance between us. Certainly my affection to you is so unchangeable that hostility itself cannot violate my friendship, but I must be true wherein the cause I serve. That great God, which is the searcher of my heart, knows with what a sad sense I go about this service, and with what a perfect hatred I detest this war without an enemy; but I look upon it as an Opus Domini and that is enough to silence all passion in me. The God of peace in his good time will send us peace. In the meantime, we are upon the stage and must act those parts that are assigned to us in this tragedy. Let us do so in a way of honour and without personal animosities.
Whatever the outcome I will never willingly relinquish the title of Your most affectionated friend.

@kakkerel @thatguyoverthere @11112011 @0 @skells @dj They'd like you to think that.
More like right now everything is financialized. It isn't being priced based on the worth of the actual thing, it's being priced based on the likelihood that it'll continue to go up.
Until now that process has meant that these guys have made tons of money, but we're in a moment where reality is about to come crashing down. You can have all the money in the world, but as we're seeing if you can't get stuff for that money then it's worthless.
It's going to continue happening, and the people who actually do stuff people want I think are going to come out ahead of people who just move piles of resources from one pile to the other.
