the polarizing discourse around the new Linkin Park serves as a reminder of how truly special Chester Bennington was and the magnitude of the void created by his passing https://x.com/itsjustoliswork/status/1831832872300507453?s=46&t=7oOFyYYgY63uwQW-tjp0xw

DATE NIGHT! we just got home from Deadpool and Wolverine
mostly just a lot of mindless fun and over-the-top action you would expect
…but there was a moment
I won’t spoil it but the last time I experienced that kind of eruption of applause in a movie theatre was Captain America wielding Mjolnir in End Game

serious question: why didn't they use cloud seeding to ensure nice weather at the Olympics?
House of the Dragon season 2 should have been a 90 minute movie
very insightful thread with good faith discussion
my two cents is along the lines of Dan’s position that POTUS needs to be in constant contact with the cabinet and prepared to respond to crisis at a moments notice
China / Taiwan, Russia / Ukraine, Israel / Palestinians / Houthis are all combustible situations which can escalate dramatically and unpredictably at any time
I would also argue that in the wake of July 13th we need a leader who is up to (and interested in) the job of uniting the country and turning down the temperature to the maximum extent possible
President Biden abjectly failed to lead after former President Trump was shot. no one has been fired, DHS and FBI are not forthcoming, and his calls for unity weren’t even heeded by his own social accounts
couple this failure to lead with the debate performance and the fact that he couldn’t recall the name of Secretary Lloyd Austin and I think the only conclusion a reasonable person can make is that he is incapable of carrying out the job

I fundamentally believe in the goodness of humans
this is why self governance is critically important to me
if you abstract out to the problem of how to ensure the will of the majority as opposed to individual dictators or small unelected groups making decisions, the ability to communicate freely is undoubtedly our greatest superpower
I am incredibly grateful for the discovery of the internet, platforms like Twitter / X which protect free speech within the confines of the law, and especially decentralized social media
thank you to @dwr.eth @v and everyone using Farcaster for playing a part in advancing the free and open sharing of information
