Newsletter: The Shareholder Supremacy has eaten the world, turning the tech industry into the playground of do-nothing management dictators that see human beings as assets and the customer as subordinate to growth - all inspired by GE’s Jack Welch. www.wheresyoured.at/tss/

The Shareholder Supremacywww.wheresyoured.at I promise you, everything that's happening makes sense. It all feels so chaotic, so utterly, offensively stupid, so disconnected from reality that it's hard to understand how Meta can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable, or how Meta, Microsoft and Google can proliferate unprofitable, unsustainable

Used to be when a kid was super smart and driven, adoring adults would say “you’ll be president/prime Minister one day”. Now it’s the thing you say to the kid who just used their maths lesson to cybercrime their grandma with a fake kidnap ransom demand written fully in letter emojis on iMessage

Today’s least favourite bit of complaining - some guy going to a fellow comedian, “you just want the praise and none of the criticism.” Like… duh? Of COURSE we all want the praise without the criticism, what’s your deal mate?

What if that’s just what cows looked like to Gary Larson

If you ask the manosphere, a real man is a man who doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him, in an extremely visible way that everyone acknowledges and admires.

I think waffles discourse/“how dare you talk about your thing without acknowledging MY thing” happens because we turned our interior monologues into firehoses and now our tragic mammal brains believe this means everyone is fully aware our shit but callously consciously chooses to ignore it

Tokyo friends! Does anyone have an inside line on a small venue where I could run an afternoon writing intensive?

Sure sex is good but have you ever seen your local woman-owned indie bookshop celebrate its 20th anniversary with its original owner having survived the rise of Barnes and Noble then Amazon then a global pandemic

Who here can draw where’s Waldo / where’s wally style drawings? I have a piece of paid work for you. Extremely silly project. No tyre kickers. Has to be recognisably in the where’s Waldo/ where’s wally house style, not just you being a good artist. Cheers!

Been doing some grunt work and giggling to the latest @thebugle.bsky.social . It's the 600th Episode, an edit of two live shows. @natogreen.bsky.social, @alicefraser.bsky.social, Zaltzman and Nish Kumar on blisteringly fine form.

There’s a kind of heartfelt whimsical children’s book with sad meaningful illustrations that I think is only for grandmothers to buy.

Real men recite poetry lamenting love on boats while illuminated by the moon such that their bros think them so beautiful as to wish them a woman.

I still blame Byron for the idea that happiness is limiting and Real Men™ have Tragedy™ not joy. The idea that suffering is greater than happiness so such nonsense. But we live in world where people still think happily ever after is harder to achieve than a cold death and a shallow grave.

As far as I recall early social media was basically people reporting the results of a series of quizzes to each other.

I’m a tradwife. I gather nuts. I rub fat into cloth for waterproofing. I invented weaving. I survive a harsh winter on my stored body fat.

Very few things make me feel as consistently anti-American as when I see Schoolteachers crowdfunding for basic classroom supplies.

if you operate in crisis mode at all times and focus exclusively on everything that is bad and getting worse eventually you will end up as an apathetic depressed husk convinced that nothing you or anyone else does will make a difference if you really want to do good, don't let this happen to you

My husband is reading a really interesting book about activist burn out, and basically every chapter that looks at specific historical activists shows that being unable to acknowledge even minor victories leads to burn out and depression.

Today’s Tea With Alice Salon was a lovely conversation that ranged from the way systems efficiency squeezes out the extraordinary, to AI marking of AI essays, to how each of us tricks and bullies our brains into productivity. Join me with other like and unlike minds via Patreon.com/AliceFraser

The question you ask gay couples now is “so… in your household… which one is the elderly Egyptian Uber driver?”

my elderly Egyptian Uber driver happily informed me that he “supports the gays now” because he lives with a lesbian couple and “the husband lesbian is a better husband than I was”, happy pride everyone

I don’t trust conspiracy theorists. I believe conspiracy theorists are all plants by Big Conspiracy to distract from the reality that reality is depressingly predictable & people are mostly venal and grasping rather than excitingly sinister.
