Josh Ellis on X: "Not everything good can make money. Very few good things, in fact, can show an infinitely increasing profit every quarter or year.

The Phillips head screw is a plague on industrial society and an affront to the dignity of man. Its persistence is entirely the result of a deference to the lower castes. The American design was originally developed as a solution to fast production at the cost of precision. 🧵 https://t.co/rK4b0vBiWM— Chris Ward (@MasterWambo) December 30, 2023

Killers of the Flower Moon is a great film; it affirms more explicitly than ever that Scorsese has always been telling the story of America, the most vile gangster nation on Earth— and that he understands who still controls the narrative.

This line is thought is terrifying. education becoming debt-exploding prep for a job that likely won’t use your degree anyway is one of the worst things to ever happen.
