56. We are all in this together WhiteTara
Mon Jan 5, 2026, 11:55 PM
Jan 2026

I would much rather willingly pitch in for someone I want to help than have robber barrons in tech redistribute my resources as they see fit to say buy Sundar Pichai, Alexandr Wang or their spouses new golden undies to delicately pass gas into.

I never see it as anything but giving back to the community of (non oligarch) humans here or anywhere. We are all struggling because of those hoarders.

What i am trying to say is that no one should ever feel bad about asking for help. I see myself as someone who needs to give back rather than ask for help because I was taken out of commission in the prime of my life by the “I deserve golden underwear I can toot into because I work at Google/Facebook!” type and now I am getting back to work. But it angers me to see so many people struggling because of a small set of creepy sleazebags allied with Trump, but less obviously.

Hang in there WhiteTara..hopefully it gets better for everyone (except of course Sundar Pichai and Alexandr Wang…they can toot into regular cotton undies like stalwart defenders of the people like Slavoj Zizek/Mitesh Bohra/Jonathan Haidt/Derek Thompson/Jay Kaspian Kang/Jasmine Tayag/Ezra Klein etc.).
