so long and no thanks for all the slop

‘While state and federal prosecutors have sent record numbers of people to prison for violent crimes and property- and drug-related offenses, the US retreated from prosecuting and punishing white-collar crime, despite a tsunami of elite-level wrongdoing.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Timeless story from last year. "Dropping corporate cases en masse, as the Trump administration is doing, is a green light for corporate lawlessness." inthesetimes.com/article/trum...

Truly tragic -- another life sacrificed to Big Tech's mass experiment unleashing human-like AI systems on the public. There are now at least a dozen suicide deaths attributed to AI companions and companion-like products.

this meme is going around mushroom foraging groups so here’s my @publiccitizen.bsky.social report on the same subject www.citizen.org/news/mushroo...

I’ve always loved this photo; it looks like he’s having a deep, soulful conversation with an undead skeleton warrior.

News story here. I love Tegus and think they are highly intelligent animals with some characteristics of dogs. Probably should not be pets, and invasive in FL, but if so, they need to be treated like a dog or cat, not shoved in a tank, alone. turnto10.com/news/local/p...

why does the ridiculous RFK govt nutrition website look like Cards Against Humanity

The 21st century echo of the Twilight Zone kicker that "To Serve Man" was a cookbook.

important context:

The Trump family was personally enriched by a foreign government. According to our co-president Rob Weissman, "This may be the biggest Trump scandal yet."

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish: www.404media.co/icezine/

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

"nobody has any idea how to measure corporate power" yeah, sure, ok...

Where I work, we measure corporate power in lots of ways. Just SOME of our metrics: -campaign & lobbying expenditures -corporate crime enforcement -revolving door appointments -favors for industry in a bill -meetings with regulators Never forget folks: Matty is ALWAYS completely full of shit.

It is becoming increasingly clear that AI companion products marketed to address loneliness can cause multiple escalating harms to users. These harms are as follows:

NEW: The Trump administration is planning to use AI to write federal regulations despite the risk of hallucinations. “We don't even need a very good rule,” the Transportation Department’s top lawyer said of the plan, per meeting notes reviewed by ProPublica. “We want good enough.”🧵

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Over the past year, Trump’s federal agencies canceled and froze enforcement against 166 alleged corporate lawbreakers. 1/3 of the corps have Trump admin ties such as inauguration & ballroom donations. America is great again! (for corporate crime) www.commondreams.org/news/donald-...

ICYMI the Trump admin is canceling accountability for corporate predators that cheat consumers, exploit workers & illegally abuse their power at home & abroad.

Trump has dramatically retreated from enforcement against corporate crime & lawbreaking after just one year in office. Federal agencies canceled and froze enforcement actions against 159 alleged corporate lawbreakers. What happened to Trump being tough on crime?

The "law enforcement" claims the White House uses as pretext for authoritarian anti-immigrant crackdowns, city occupations, and imperial resource seizures abroad lose all credibility when cast against the lawlessness Trump allows for the pursuit of corporate profits.

I've thought for years that the T–– administrations will be forever known for their chaos, but now I'm wondering if their corruption won't out-do even the uncertainty of what the next day will bring. THREE-POINT-ONE BILLION dollars in unpaid penalties. How many [your choice] would $3.1B have bought?

The giant corporations that have been ripping everybody off and making life unaffordable are getting let out of jail free by Trump. Maybe not free — a small donation for Trump’s gold-plated ballroom is always appreciated.

Meanwhile, the rest of America struggled to put food on the table, keep the lights on, and pay for health care. The system is rigged.

This is a DOJ email that references campaign finance cases with "POTUS ties." POTUS is Trump. The "GEP" case referenced below is likely the Parnas/Fruman case. I only recognize it because I wrote about it in my third book, Corporatocracy. #doj #epstein files 👀💵🗳️⚖️ www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I think Marceline likes her Christmas present

This is the beginning of the Trump FTC’s retreat from enforcement against AI corporations—in this case, one that allegedly facilitated generation of “false & deceptive written content for reviews”—claiming enforcement “unduly burdens innovation”
