oops inhibited goes in morning spam after last utopia post square roots are colorful because [parts of your mind are roleplaying so many social influence patterns that your colors and your arithmetic are exchanging information on people’s political indicators] square roots are colorful because [you don’t have synesthesia but talking like you do is the only way to get therapy and treatment for the thousands of similar neural herniatians that fill your experience in ways that are specifically never described in literature but are pretty much the same thing as stuff that is] square roots are colorful because you’re tired and [it’s hard to manage the impact of all your palsy-like nerve rewiring after damage causing random firing throughout your mind and body] and you want to take a break {true story}

Pro tip for these sort of firewalled links - if they are accessed after a few days though ' cached ' in search that often means you can read the full article without paying any subscription. Now the author of this particular article - that I hope to read sometime next week - looks interesting. He is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. The same WEF in the crypto-media-news recently https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-features-on-wef-whitepaper-as-a-t… Reposts not yadaa yadaa

Twitter Co-Founder Dorsey Rues Musk Deal: ‘It All Went South’
by professor rat 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

Things started down that direction under his watch - for example acceding to US govt demands and pandering to the likes of Donald Dumbfuck who went for about a year floating above platform rules others were made subject to. It just got more and more like Fedbook under Dorsey - he is not some leftwing hero in any way shape or form. And he failed miserably to do any due diligence on Musk. Enough was already known about him to try and stop him. Maybe Jackass Dorsey can do enough good cypherpunky deeds to make up for past sins. That is for others to judge. But he will never make it up to me personally. Except by dying at his own hand and leaving me all his ill-gotten money. Carthage delenda est, Jack To the death.
