Be sure to marinate them well, and keep antacid handy.

So there’s a new movie on HBO called The Mountainhead which I assume skewers the billionaire class quite effectively.

I haven’t seen it yet but it is definitely on the watch list:

We tried to watch it. Got 10 minutes in and we pulled the plug.

The actors said a bunch of boring shit that the screenplay writers thought was clever. Much like actual billionaires. They think they’re clever and funny, but they’re really not. I wonder if the writers used AI? It was that bad.

Watched it last night, even made it all the way through, which was a slog. Maybe that was the point, though? An attempt to show just how tedious they are, other than, you know, that they control … everything. As Kiddo would say, it was “kinda mid.”

Everyone gets a 5mm strip of cured billionaire, with the message “think you’d taste better?”

New book from Cambridge University Press. I’m hoping it has a chapter on billionaires (fat chance, I know).

Well, apart from all the volcanos. I suggest that in order to stay warm, they build their utopia around an active flow.

Edit: which would have been funny if I hadn’t confused Greenland for Iceland. Turns out that while there are plenty of extinct volcanos in Greenland, there are in fact zero active ones, whereas Iceland has over 30.

Oh well, I’ll just have to put up with them dying of exposure and polar bears then.

Southwest Airlines is going to shit - getting rid of free checked bags and free seating… even devaluing points. It’s all because of a billionaire vulture fund operator. He also is a HUGE Trump donor. Learn everything you need to know about Paul Singer.

In the video about Thiel and Yarvin:

This isn’t about some secret plan between two guys. It’s about how big ideas about politics can show up in the real world when someone with lots of money believes in them.

Do you suppose it was one of the people he screwed over come back for revenge, like in the movie Eega?

Not sure, but I do think there’s a good chance that just before he died he shouted EEEEEEGGGGAAAA!!
