“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
"The Great Gatsby" was published 100 years ago today. @npr looks at the continued relevance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, with its commentary on immigration, race, class, and the liberated "new woman."

I wrote a post in honor of the 100th birthday of #TheGreatGatsby

It’s one of my favorite #Books but I won’t ignore Fitzgerald’s #Racism #antisemitism and xenophobia. Yet his work transcends his own biases and speaks to people of all different backgrounds, including me

I can’t separate the artist from the art but I can appreciate art from a flawed person

"What tech billionaires celebrate as the future is actually regression, spinning fantasies of immortality through transhumanism, claiming that technology will transform them into superhumans, or resorting to cryonics that literally freeze them in place, attempting to preserve their dominance on ice. #theGreatGatsby

"People such as Thiel, Elon Musk and Donald Trump seem to find democracy vexatious because it is a theory of power-sharing. Tech moguls who glorify efficiency and advocate “exit” from democratic accountability imagine themselves natural rulers, reasserting hierarchies that protect their privilege. Ironically, of course, it is the very democratic and economic infrastructures they scorn as obsolete that enabled their rise." #theGreatGatsby

@ajsadauskas Seems to me that the average Merkan, certainly the red ones anyway, are ignorant uneducated fools who get baffled by 2 + 2. Not only ofc this current tariff bullshit, but also, albeit rather different, this article has been doing the toots overnight... vox.com/culture/402406/great-g. It grandly proclaims that Merkans have been misunderstanding #TheGreatGatsby for 100 years, then goes on to clumsily explain its thesis, with me hungrily waiting for the big reveal, only to end it unsated coz it merely confirmed how i've always interpreted it. Are Merkans really so stupid that for a century they seriously only thought it was a story about parties?

And these peeps have guns? And bombs? 😲 🤯

What do we mean by uncertainty? And why do we want to look for it?

This episode, we scour from jazz music to Rubik's Cubes, and from Gatsby to Ellison, from Obama to Carroll, to make sense of it. And there's nothing less than world transformation at stake.
