  • Either way, I read the first few pages of the deposition this morning, and it really just goes on like that. Musk’s attorney is a piece of work as well. My understanding is that he’s some kind of high profile celebrity attorney, but going by what I’ve read, he can’t possibly be worth the fortune that I’m sure he charges. Or perhaps I’m overestimating the difficulties of the legal profession, and it’s possible to make a living as a lawyer through sheer ignorant belligerence, I don’t know









  • I normally just tell people. Disdaining to conceal our aims and so forth. For those times when outright saying I’m a socialist would derail things into an unproductive debate about how “communism has never worked” or whatever, I usually default to saying I’m an anti-capitalist or something like that. Even then, I try to sneak in surplus value and class conflict and similar language. If I’m fairly certain I’m talking to another leftist, I let it slip as quickly as possible so we don’t spend however many minutes using coded language and sniffing each other out.












  • Somebody help me name exactly what kind of guy my new coworker is. He’s identified himself as a libertarian, has mentioned several times in conversation how much he loves Dostoevsky and classical music and Marcus Aurelius and such like, and has even read the Gulag Archipelago (the first time I’ve encountered a real person who’s read it, I might add.) Very big into chess and the gym and science and so forth. I don’t wanna savage him, he’s a nice enough guy, but I find him vaguely insufferable and I can’t tell why. Other than him being a STEMlord and a bit of a tryhard anyway.
