I think about president Johnny Gentle quite a bit these days, as well as ONAN, etc. Unfortunately while real life has matched the story in ridiculousness, it’s exceeded it in evil.

That’s insane. Even if they did this intentionally to be as difficult as possible, they locked themselves out of being able to detect long presses?

We used to do one can of frozen OJ to one bottle of vodka. I don’t think we ever gave it 3 days to freeze though. It was a pleasant slush.

We called it ‘juice’.

It’s called a Doohickey, thank you very much

That part is JE quoting something Kotick said. That’s why the other person is responding to JE and mocking him for it.

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

Don’t let Ted Turner microsoft deface my movie open source software with his crayons slop machine

Who are you?

The person who this finger belonged to.

Unfortunately his distraction from being a pedo was to be a Nazi, which is also frowned upon in some circles.

Probably like $10k each, or zero if you can get them to go to your pedo island.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

Do people pay attention more when they’re watching something that isn’t dumbed-down second-screen slop?

I have a tendency to scroll, but it usually tells me that what I’m watching is shit. If it something I really like I’m glued to it. For me, some examples are: The Curse, The White Lotus, Taskmaster, Dark, The Rehearsal.

I think the beauty of Emacs is not that it gives you a text editor, but that it gives you a lisp environment.
