I stopped sharing songs here because I've been struggling to see the value in the time I was spending doing that.
I don't know if I'll go back to scheduling a song a day anytime soon, but today I want to share a cut I've come back to dozens of times since I first heard it earlier this year:
"Why Socialism by Albert Einstein (edited for length)" by Hobo Johnson
"I've now reached the point where I may indicate briefly what, to me, constitutes the essence of the crisis of our time. It concerns the relationship of the individual to society. The individual has become more conscious than ever of his dependence upon society. But he has not experienced this dependency as a positive asset, as an organic tie, as a protective force, but rather as a threat to his natural rights, or even his economic existence. Moreover, his position in society is such that his egotistical drives of his makeup are constantly being accentuated, while social drives, which are by nature weaker, progressively deteriorate. All human beings, whatever their position in society are suffering from this process of deterioration. Unknown, only prisoners of their own egotism, they feel insecure, lonely, and deprived of the naïve, simple, and unsophisticated enjoyment of life. Man could find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society."
Yeah
Yeah, fuck yeah

Ayo, hella fuckin' hard, even he couldn't solve 'em
Boy, Einstein's problem
Boy, that's Einstein's problem

KILL ALL MONSTERS
in this essay & video, we discuss #DragonQuest Monsters (GBC) and tie it into #AnimalRights; covering not only the game itself but the ethics of #FactoryFarming and eating meat (death ethics).
i also learned how to chapterize YouTube videos, so there are chapters now for people who just want to hear about the game or the animal rights stuff, etc.

나의 경우에는 초기값과 재능이 따로 노는 경향이 있다. 거의 반비례한다고 볼 수도 있겠다. 그래서 초기값이 높은 분야와 재능이 높은 분야가 갈리는데, 생각해보면 결국 후자를 쫒게 되는 것 같다.
나는 스스로의 성장이 보이지 않는 영역은 쉽게 그만두는 경향이 있다. 흥미를 못 느낀다고 해야 하나. 그 어떤 동기부여도 "나 자신의 성장을 느끼는 것"보다 효과적이지 않다. 무능에 가까웠던 분야에서 조금씩 성장하여 봐줄 만한 수준이 되어가는 과정은 나 자신을 설레게 한다. 노력 가성비가 좋은, 그러니까 재능이 있는 분야는 그렇지 않은 분야에 비해 그 성장이 눈에 띄게 크기 때문에 난 나의 재능을 쫒는다.

Among 9/11 memories, I refer you to my 2015 essay Packaged Terror, about how ripples of the attack touched me personally, several states away in New Hampshire.
I'm pretty confident that if you have the time, you'll find it an engaging read.
Had I not lived it, I might doubt some of its details myself, but I quite assure you this is a completely true story. And the take-home message is still very relevant today.

I made a lot of progress with my depression these past weeks and am finally motivated to read and write again.
I've started writing an #AutoBiography a long time ago, to cope with what I've been through, but also to release it one day.
I'd love to let other people contribute chapters to my book. Essays on various topics that come up in my story.
So now I'm asking you all, if there is anyone who could think of writing such an essay for me, because you are affected by the topic yourself, or are an expert in the field.
Or if you know someone, who would be perfect for that topic.
Here are a few of the topics:
#depression
#GenderIdentity
#asexuality
#SurveillanceCapitalism
#Fediverse ( @ueckueck, you said you might write that one, still interested?)
#SocialPhobia
#WTFromance
#SelfHarm
#suicidality
There are other topics as well, but I already have people in mind who I'll directly ask to write essays about them; especially topics around #ClimateJustice.
The essays should be at least 2-5 pages long and provide a general gist about the topic, but ideally also contain something personal, like what the topic means to you.
Written in #English or #German.
Preliminary deadline is summer '24, but a lot can change until then and if you need longer, don't worry.
Please :boost: #boost. Thanks. ❤️

Why should progressives accommodate conservatives' need to be socially accepted, when conservatives refuse to allow "others" to be socially accepted.
If the conservatives want people to be friendly with them, then they need to stop being so actively hostile to people.

I'm starting the project!
The plan is to do a #photo #essay on negatives, but as a backup I will also be shooting with a #dslr. Due to the limited amount of text here, the whole thing will appear on my blog (pl & eng) and on Medium. I will of course be uploading some of the photographs here! I expect the whole thing to take three weeks at the most, but as soon as I have any interesting photographs you'll be the first to see them!

new essay: 'capitalism makes no sense to me'
I've been thinking really hard (it seems like there should be a faint smell of burning emanating from my brain) about why capitalism sucks SO MUCH. it's all tangled up with how I view the world as a neurodivergent person, but I don't think that should mean that society should continue to harm all of us.

I think a big hurdle with getting people onto the platform is the fallacy of convenience and is essentially a matter of instant versus delayed gratification. Even if #Mastodon is a better experience that just requires a little extra effort to get into, people will most often go for the instant gratification of hopping into one of the human rights violations we call mainstream social media like #Threads, #Twitter, #TikTok, #Instagram and more simply because it's easier.
Even if the aforementioned more convenient options are literal spyware, encourages super unhealthy mindsets of bigotry; ableism; turning oneself into a commodity; and spreads disinformation like a disease, and has actively tanked the mental health of the human population in just a few decades flat! The amount of people in groups outside of Mastodon that I have had to steer away from places like TikTok is scary because people are willing to throw their rights and privacy away for some goddamn internet clout: one of the most worthless currencies humanity has ever designed.
So, I think one way we can tackle the delayed gratification hurdle is just.. avoid talking about federation and taking things off-topic by having to explain a bunch of terminology. Just... invite your friends to your instance, *then* explain what Mastodon is, #Fediverse, all that. Just get them on the platform first; don't make it overly complicated. Just make it seem like they're signing up to the usual social media platform, and slowly introduce them to what makes Mastodon so unique.
Not only does this avoid having to get people do preliminary research (which is usually a surefire way to turn people away from the platform), but it can also keep them off overcrowded instances like Mastodon.social and Mastodon.world because when you recommend Mastodon, people just look it up and end up joining either of those two by the name. And even if your friend(s) doesn't like the instance you've chosen for them, they can just migrate their entire account elsewhere!
I think it'd just be a better approach to get them through the door first before overwhelming them with all the Fediverse talk. Because even I am still overwhelmed by all the other Fediverse platforms, and it absolutely can be daunting.

A deal Justice #Alito’s wife made with an #energy #company paints recent Supreme Court decisions on the #environment in a damning light.
“What makes political figures who violate ethics laws so exceptional is how much #obviously #unethical #behavior #is #legal under our current overly permissive rules,” Hauser said.
“Our current ethics regime assumes that a person’s financial interests need to be extremely specific in order to influence their behavior, a worldview that ignores the foresight rich people and corporations regularly demonstrate.”
https://theintercept.com/2023/06/26/samuel-alito-oil-gas-supreme-court-environment/
Unlike other federal courts, the Supreme Court does not have a legally binding ethics code. While justices are required to file financial disclosures under the Ethics in Government Act, the choice of whether or not to recuse from cases involving a conflict of interest is entirely self-enforced.
This loophole caught the public’s attention in April, when a ProPublica report detailed the lavish, undisclosed gifts and financial support Justice Clarence #Thomas and his family received from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan #Crow.
Since then, other justices’ financial dealings have been called into question, including Neil #Gorsuch for an undisclosed property sale to a lawyer with business before the court, and John #Roberts, whose wife’s employment as a legal recruiter for Supreme Court-bound lawyers raised a host of ethics questions.
#Alito now finds himself in a position similar to Thomas, after another ProPublica report from last week described a fishing trip and private jet ride the justice took with conservative operative #Leonard #Leo and billionaire hedge fund manager #Paul #Singer, valued at over $100,000. While pictures from the trip suggest that Alito personally appreciates the bounty of America’s dwindling unpolluted landscape, his rulings in environmental cases suggest that politically he does not.
Before publishing its investigation into Alito’s relationship with Singer — whose business model is organized around using the courts, including the Supreme Court, to extract payments from distressed bond issuers — ProPublica reached out to Alito with a list of questions. Alito responded by penning a #defensive #essay in the Wall Street Journal, which #published the response #before #ProPublica had even published its story.
Writer and editor Mrigaa Sethi grew up as part of Bangkok's conservative Indian community, "where their child's eventual heterosexual wedding was the dream twinkling in every parent's eye." Here, they talk about the evolution of their relationship with their fashion designer mother as they discovered their sexuality and identity as a butch gay woman.

"In coming out, I found some of the freedom I was supposed to find." —Samuel Ernest

Dear friends,
I hope this message finds you all in high spirits and ready for a thrilling mathematical adventure! Today, I am thrilled to share with you a groundbreaking essay that delves into the untapped potential of half-angle formulas and their astonishing applications.
In this thought-provoking piece, titled "The Theoretical Importance of Half-Angle Formulas," I explore the remarkable world of these often-overlooked formulas and their far-reaching implications. But before you dive in, let me share a captivating quote by the legendary George Pólya: "An idea which can be used only once is a trick. If one can use it more than once, it becomes a method."
Now, why is this quote relevant to my work, you might ask? Well, my friends, in the realm of mathematics, finding a single result is indeed fascinating, but uncovering a method—a systematic approach that can be employed repeatedly—is truly extraordinary. My essay takes you on a journey through the complexities of discovering and harnessing methods using the half-angle formulas.
Warm regards,
Emmanuel José García.
