More rabbit holes of doom. Did you read the thing here about der Drumpfenführer's plan to sell national parks in an effort to bypass the national debt and put together a "sovereign wealth" pile? Which would quite possibly end up invested in bitcoin?
Yep — it's one of the strands that prompted me to write about "sovereign wealth." There's also been some reporting that he wants private companies to log the national parks.
No ifs, ands or butts about it, the anus info cracked me up. Then the behind the scenes story of the ass with the raw sewage? That was quite a tail to tell! In hindsight, the dude was a bum — and you got to the bottom of it. (Okay, I’ll stop!) 😂
>Another word derived from superānus is soprano — the vocal range that sits above the others.
Wow, an unexpected etymology. I'm totally bringing this up the next time I socialize with a soprano, of whom I know several.
re: data sovereignty. Although it says that it's just a compliance effort, I was peripherally involved in an effort to document data sovereignty at my last job, and it was no joke; the company put a LOT of effort into it. With cloud-based technologies, it's tricky to make sure that data is being held and transmitted in ways that meet the standards of different countries (esp EU?).
>SovCit
I follow a Reddit account that posts about the various efforts of various SovCits. They're sort of hilarious and pathetic and scary all at the same time. But dang, people (not just SovCits) do have a lot of faith in the power of certain words in certain order to bring about magical outcomes.
PS I think I've finally learned to spell "sovereignty" on the first try now
Twenty-four hours after I published this post about "sovereign" I learned about Sovereign House, an "underground venue" in lower Manhattan that "has hosted hyper-online far-right cultural theorists like Curtis Yarvin and Raw Egg Nationalist, evolving over the past few years as a petri dish for the New York MAGA intelligentsia. Too online for the aging NYC Republicans, too elitist for the NYC Young Republicans, and too weird to show their faces aboveground, the attendees of Sovereign House gather at dusk to bask in the wonders of blockchain technology and race essentialism in a bedrock basement." https://prospect.org/politics/2025-01-24-nyc-maga-clubhouse-libertarians-left-in-the-cold/
