This is a test. Seeing as this blog is essentially my own little Twitter, it seems fitting that I’ve imported all of my tweets into it.

3122 tweets imported – dating back to 2008. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum.

I’m trying to implement a new rule: I’m not allowed to save any articles to read-later on a Saturday/Sunday morning.

If I’m not willing to read it on a weekend morning – when I’ve got a hot coffee and bucketloads of time – then I’m never going to read it.

“Silvio Berlusconi invented the modern oligarchy. Musk is expanding it.”

I haven’t thought about Silvio Berlusconi for a while. Francis Fukuyama:

When historians 50 or 100 years from now investigate how and why Western civilization collapsed, they would point to Silvio Berlusconi as the chief villain. The former Italian Prime Minister was the inventor of the modern form of oligarchy, in which a rich individual uses his money to buy his way into political office through the purchase of media properties, and then uses his political office to protect his business interests.

Well, guess what, we now have our own home-grown American oligarch in the Berlusconi mold: Elon Musk.
