idk man I just don’t think it’s great to hang out inside the large context collider and I would like to have better options
hey throw in about a hundred guillotines and we’re cooking
The Medina book is great, I went on a whole tear
I still think making distinctions between the tech and its uses and its ~externalities and the cluster of weirdass ideologies that have grown up around it is the only way through this soooo I don’t talk about it online

I was mad!
Oh man. Mind your sources, folks, until you have confirmation. Goodnight.
(Did I look this up a few months ago out of pure annoyance? Yes.)
This one's weird, it descends from telegraphic code usages and only gets idiomatic use after. SCOTUS, then POTUS and FLOTUS and all the little OTUSes.
