For some reason, that one didn’t annoy me as much. Maybe I saw that season only after it came out on DVD, and thought “yeah, this is dated, but I see how it landed when it was still fresh. This season, I’m watching the episodes within a day or two of them coming out, so it feels like getting stale bread at the bakery.
So they name this episode Parasites Regained.
Not sure if everyone here knows that Paradise Regained is Milton’s sequel to his earlier Paradise Lost.
A big part of why this season feels stale is that its topical references are several years old. Like Dune and Ivermectin, in this episode. Was this season written two years ago and is only being released now?
Could you do a better job than him
“I could’ve not drunk-bought Twitter, thereby saving $44 billion.”

I can say that some websites don’t work on Firefox
threads.net
comes to mind. That annoyed me until I opened the console and saw that it was because of an infinite number of cross-site origin violations, at which point I lost interest in Threads.
Oh, just for contrast: imagine someone who graduates from med school, immediately gets a job as a neurosurgeon making $200,000/year — No, let’s say she really works hard, and is very good at her job, and spends wisely, and actually manages to save $200,000/year. Let’s say she manages to keep this up every year for 50 years. How much does she have when she retires? $20 million, less than if Elon Musk lost 99% of everything, and then lost 99% again.
“Pravda” is Russian for “Truth”. I find it ironic that TFG named his social media site after a newspaper that’s synonymous with "shameless propaganda’.
But he’s not. He’ll be fine. He’ll always be fine.
It’s hard to comprehend just how vastly, mind-bogglingly rich the ultra rich are, so consider: according to Wikipedia, Musk’s net worth in July 2023 was about $239 billion. That means that he could lose 99% of everything he owns, and then lose 99% of what was left, and be left with over $20 million, more money than most of us will see in a lifetime.
He’s not going to be applying for EBT any time soon. Hell, he’s not going to be selling off the spare Lamborghini any time soon.

Who would have thought actively courting Nazis would make risk averse corporations stop using your ads!
Nobody could have foreseen this! Nobody! Unless by some miracle they happened to look up who’s advertising on far-right platforms like Gab or Pravda Social.
How can something sarong feel so right?

But then I wised up and switched to FreeBSD.
This was what made me push my mom to go out and get a smartphone to replace her old flip phone. (That, and the fact that she had no idea how to send or receive text messages, or check voice mail.)
Then there’s the cloud: “Oh, crap. I have a typo in a config file. I guess I’ll destroy the machine and set up a whole new one!”
Don’t listen to the raven. Switch to BSD!
When the Internet was created, not only did phones not have batteries, they had their own power grid, separate from that used by other appliances.
The nafety for safety.
