    Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It’s not just Thiel’s companies. It’s Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

    The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

      If you don’t mind my nitpiking. This isn’t a silicon valley issue, it’s the consequence of how corporations are set up to demand ever endless unlimited growth. They are all cancerous tumors competing with each other.

      Silicone Valley is where the US IT corporations settled.

        To nitpick further, this is a consequence of unregulated capitalism and at this point the people who control it don’t have an incentive to change it.

        The system is working as intended.

        We need to destroy it if we want anything to change.

          To nitpick further.

          It all ends up as a guaranteed exorbitant income for the owning class. and we are all paying for it in endless amounts of human misery and destruction of our planet.

          That’s Grace Jones, as far as drawings of her go I don’t think that one’s quite as terrible as Liefeld, although it’s the 80s so the body standards are really off. She was known in the 80s for really bold art and fashion, and I knew instantly that had to either be her or based on her:

      Don’t give them ideas, they’ll start drilling for new volcanoes.
