So, look, okay, everyone's been gleefully talking about a Zuck/Musk cage match and it's not like my disdain for these people has been at all subtle, but - I am genuinely nauseated.

Both of them have the power to influence the course of human history on a global scale without any democratic legitimacy whatsoever, and so the idea that they're devoting their attention to this ... like, no kidding, it's not schadenfreude, I'm feeling, it's despair.

@annmlipton Rich boys with their rich toys fucking up the world. Same as it ever was.
@annmlipton thank you for putting words to it. yes. so much power, to so little (good) end.
@annmlipton
Their adolescent contrarianism can pass as innovative thinking thanks to both-sides buffoon news editors, but by participating in social media their social-emotional deficiencies are there for all to see.
@annmlipton given that Musk fucks up everything he touches, isn't it better if his attention is on something that doesn't matter?
