Trump in Davos, Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland.

I've listened to Trump so you don't have to. He's still rambling. Currently he's insulting Somalians as low IQ and how they're all pirates and stole money from Minnesota whilst also being on boats and aren't pirating anymore because they keep knocking them out of the water. More blatant racism

SOMALIAN BANDITS

I'm only catching this rambling Davos speech piecemeal but... wow... this is a disaster unfolding in real time.

ERs are the barometer of healthcare just as schools are the barometer of social issues.Both are the "catch-all" for systemic failures. When primary care & social safety nets fail upstream, the pressure builds in our waiting rooms. They don't just provide care; they mirror our society. #ABpoli #ABleg

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

BBC’s Michael Buchanan: Do you give #homeless people cash? Many fear any donation will be misspent but a ground-breaking study in the UK is currently recruiting 125 homeless people to receive a large one-off cash payment, £2,000. There are no restrictions on what they can buy with the money. Prog 👇🏻

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia. They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab. She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab” She was held for 24 hours. A US citizen. No one is safe.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

During this cloudflare outage, let me supply you with this wisdom of the ages: “single point of failure” can be sung to the tune of “all the single ladies”

It may be a sign of my age but I remember a time when the Internet was designed so there wasn't a singular point of failure which took out half the Internet. Cloudflare goes down way too often and way too many sites and resources use it

Straight from the mouth of founder and investor @floydmarinescu.bsky.social: Corporate are not what motivates investment or entrepreneurship, they undermine the things that do, and historically have never worked. So why try and tax credit our way to prosperity? www.thestar.com/business/opi...

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

The Internet is just a prime example of the erosive effects of unrestrained, malignant, end-stage capitalism, where all competing interests are pushed aside in the pursuit of the almighty buck. How Silicon Valley enshittified the internet: share.google/e1aHEBqc6blQ...

Just watched a smart, persuasive interview with @michaelemann.bsky.social & @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on US media. They were asked if “naming names” about liars & their motivations risks coming across as “partisan.” I think about that a lot as I do similar things in the city-building arena. 1/2

Tara Moriarty's work, if I understand it correctly, documents an ongoing excess mortality in Canada of about 13%, something like 40,000 extra fatalities/year. She also documents ongoing major impacts on hospitals and public health. It's remains a catastrophe.
