I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷‍♀️

like i said; well into adulthood. my twenties are firmly behind me. I think the time parts are going to do what they’re going to do. the biggest pain in my ass now is places where ‘society’ is supposed to just be a thing that flat out does not exist for me.

also, generally, you want your data going as few places as possible. not to beijing, not to washington, not to palo alto.

what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?

there’s a word for that.

that’s why they are always kept in part; just in case they try to kiss.

capitalism: a simulacrum that signifies the absence of value

that comment was dumber than pepsi.

part of me would like to see it involve pitchforks. maybe some torches.

we can be really california about this. I might still know where my old childhood pitchfork I used to turn compost is, and I can make it an acetylene torch hanging off a drone, if you want.

okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?

…cluttered? the fuck?

has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?

what cities should be VS what cities are.

it’s the worst shit. even now, well into adulthood, when I’m injured or something, I’m still supposed to rely on my mom. I don’t have one of those.

I tried explaining it to a doctor once. I showed him some of the scars. just in one ear and out the other.

I feel like the reliance on ‘family’ is a way to dismantle any solidarity or any hint of a society, any kind of broad social support. I feel like it’s a whole thing.

the america that could have been.

it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?

no, mine is broken right now.

okay but these fucking cultists have got away with much worse pretty regularly, and I expect this one to get away with this, so im still going to argue for my constitutional right (though not necessarily ability) to shoot up a church without imposed consequences.

when CEOs make security policy.

wouldn’t shock me

basic state logic.

they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.

for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.

getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.
