Neoliberalism is taking off all of the trapping of a democratic or science based ideology Neoliberalism is a death cult for capitalism at the same level as fascism it just smiles whiles it murders its victims and says there is nothing we can do beyond continuing the mass death to the population.

My time on bluesky is numbered. I will not be uploading my face scans to EpicGames or any 3rd party Nor will I upload face scans or government IDs to bluesky If my account gets suspended or deleted you know why ID/Face scanning can fuck off, I will not comply And you shouldn't either

Human rights don't exist until they apply to *everyone* anything less is outright a compromise on who's human and who isn't.

Genuinely unsustainable. "OpenAI’s Stargate project has reportedly signed agreements for up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month, which could account for nearly 40 percent of global production."

“We’re beginning to glimpse what fascism looks like amid the wreckage of history, with all its ironies and absurdities. But an urgent question remains unanswered: what, in that same wreckage, might antifascism look like?”

Its not enough that the AI Bubble is going to dry up all RAM, SSDs and other silicon based products from the consume markets When it crashes we'll also be looking at not just a shortage of any useful technology, but tons of unusable garbage made to run AI and nothing else What a waste of resources

A smart government would ban creation of AI data-centers, and ban any export of resources used to make RAM, GPUs to any country that produces AI datacenters But alas, us humans are too stupid to protect what we have We just mindlessly burn our natural resources, then get confused when none left

Chat Control 2.0: We scan you, but don't you dare scan people in charge! Nothing sus there at all!

Those who claim that online ID checks are to “protect the children” are lying to you, full stop! Not only will they open the gateway to more censorship, but it will also increase identity frauds even more. The Discord leak is a perfect example of this!

It really should be asked everywhere at all times why politicians in EU like Mette Frederiksen wants #chatcontrol to allegedly protect children by scanning for #CSAM but they want to be personally exempt from such scanning. What are they all hiding? I think we all deserve to know all their secrets.

Often times people talk about not feeling "normal" feeling like they would do anything to be "normal" But, there is no such thing as normal. Normal is just what a specific person is used to Ask 100 people, get 100 definitions Normal, is just you and your bias radiolab.org/podcast/9169...

KOSA and COPPA 2 are being pitched in congress as a package deal, including age gating/government ID requirements to use the app store on your phone If you live in the USA, now is the time to get ahead of this Before our access to a free and queer internet are taken from us, forever

Lets also not forget, the Attorney General of your state can request detailed user information and logs from a website that operates in your state This law is about banning peoples access to LGBTQIA+ resources, no matter what anyone says it has nothing to do with "protecting the children"

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Americans like to see themselves as rugged individuals But political change requires solidarity And sadly the average american hates the idea of having to work with someone else, with a slight different take on the same issue Until we can work together, we're doomed to lick the boot on our face

Have you called your state Congress person to say what the fuck is wrong with you yet? Heck, ask the staffers how they can live with themselves working for such disgusting weasels who oppose the very people they claim to represent www.newsweek.com/full-list-of...

Agree. I strongly believe that using AI to summarize information is a strong form of outsourcing your thinking. Summarization is crystallizing your thoughts, and -- at least for topics you are still trying to learn -- you can't afford to let an LLM do that in your stead.

those who trade liberty for the guise of convenience, deliver us to our techno-oligarch overlords on a silver platter

We collectively did this to ourselves too. This just like the near death of privacy is a series of choices people kept collectively making. None of this had to be like this but as a species we keep turning everything into a janky unreliable hellscape. We need to do better before we can't anymore.

In all seriousness, way too much traffic is allowed to hit cloudflare. Friends don't let friends centralize the internet

The thing is, the internet was meant to be YOU (browser) -> HOST Maybe some people will cut out the middle man :) Even the "DDoS" protection they offer is minimum at best and doesn't stop most modern attacks anyways

When a marginalized user expresses anger at abuse? They get tone-policed When a government expresses violence? That’s “geopolitical speech” When someone defends pedophilia and people react with fury? Mods enforce “professionalism” But when the Pentagon threatens to kill civilians? enforce nothing

genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

🎶 I like giant puffballs, I cannot lie. Found a bunch of these puffball mushrooms today and took the smaller sibling home for dinner.

Jewish NYers came out in droves for Mamdani: staff, volunteers, voters. Greenblatt defends Nazis.

There are reasons that many folks who lost loved ones to opioid addiction, like my family did, chose not to sign up to participate in state legal actions. The West Virginia First Foundation is giving lots of money to cops- if they keep it. Greed is the worst addiction. apnews.com/article/gene...

It’s absolutely destabilizing seeing the politics of both parties and their supporters shifting fully to a positions that actual morals and shared inalienable human rights are a threat to their vision of power and the future. Dark dark times.

Obligatory warning: If you ever read or hear anything about the rest of the world from US media then you can be 99.9% sure you're fed pure propaganda with no connection to reality at all. We are forced to care about whos president to know /how/ we're gonna get shanked in the ass. That's it.

Will the castle owning white nationalist who made a living exaggerating BIPOC on white crime (VDARE) even allow a white person to be a murderer? Another reminder that Berkeley Springs, WV is a Nazi town. Complicit business owners who would rather embrace racist than alienate tourist gave it away

The only societies where the genocide in Gaza haven’t fundamentally changed things should be understood as beneath the moral consideration of a 21st century ethics. We are seeing in Mamdani that some parts of the U.S. have a soul, perhaps others don’t. Ireland: certified soul havers

Privacy (and freedom of speech/expression) is /one/ of the compromises sure... however there is also the national security implications of letting foreign companies (with bad security to boot) just collect endless documentation on people across the world into one centralized fascistic database.

It used to be called “playing dumb.” Now it is treated as a legitimate debate tactic. We have to pretend that the person might actually have runny egg yolk instead of a human brain.

If you stan a guy with an overt nazi tattoo, let alone MULTIPLE then just put on the fucking armband and admit what you are.

A nazi tattoo isn't a red line. It's so far past the red line that it can no longer be seen.

nobody ever "did it all themself" there's no such thing as the "self made man". these are constructions of men who want others to give them something for nothing, of people who just can't be bothered to help. find your community, don't just give, learn to accept help from the right people, thrive.

His racist comments about Black people can be glossed over because he apologized? The nazi tattoo that he *knows the German word for* can be looked over because why You people are riding really fucking hard for someone you'd never heard of 2 months ago. Wonder why that is

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

As for Platner. It isn't just a nazi tattoo. It's an SS tattoo specifically linked with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-Tote...

There is no such thing as a "nazi phase". Once a nazi, always a nazi. The only distinction is if they are afraid of/able to endure the social repercussions of being open about it or not.

Keep all EYES 👀 on Gaza and the West Bank Israeli ceasefires never really mean they cease fire, just that they try to tone down the apartheid and genocide down just enough to try to get media outlets to buy their narrative Peoples lives DEPEND on keeping the volume turned UP on Palestinian voices!

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

As all eyes are on the negotiations in Egypt, the Israeli military launched airstrikes that killed over 100 Palestinians as of yesterday morning. This despite Hamas agreeing to release all hostages under the US-facilitated ceasefire plan on Friday.

"Not the america it used to be" -- It never was any different. It just started affecting you too now.

The fact that entire countries have let feminism be infiltrated and subverted to become nothing more than a vector of MRA grade misogyny without real push backs should not just lead nations but the entire world to reflect on their individual parts in the machine that lets this shit go unchallenged.
