The 8 billionaires are: Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Huang, Ballmer. Each one saw their wealth explode as a direct result of the massive and unsustainable AI bubble. Let's resolve to remember that when their bubble bursts all over working people in 2026. Happy New Year!

Not sure it's "ours", but it sure as hell isn't theirs.

It's almost as if opposing massive, greedy, energy-intensive fossil fuel export industries overlaps perfectly with trying to improve affordability insideclimatenews.org/news/1712202...

Will his lies ever catch up to him? (Part #954)

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors www.politico.com/news/magazin...

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

This is such a damn good thread and the only thing I think I can add is that it is really whiplash-inducing to see how many formerly centre-left climate-aligned folks have in the past few months leapt to centre-right tech-aligned. Not sure if it's despair, stewing in Musk's X-swamp, or just honesty

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

There's the heinousness, then there's also the vile opportunism. These guys are really going for America's Most Hated, aren't they?

“A politician must earn my vote” is really the ultimate triumph of consumerism. No conception that voting is a collective power. Just an empty belief that a vote is a type of currency that one uses to purchase a politician.

The leaders of the US auto industry had a difficult path towards relevancy, only by leaning on the support of Biden's IRA. They've decided to throw that away, juice some ICE profits for a few more years, and let their successors deal with the incipient crisis of global uncompetitiveness

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

Donate to C2C: foodjustice.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/cont... @governorferguson.bsky.social: Washington needs comprehensive, synergistic mitigation/adaptation strategies, not tax breaks for data centers. If it doesn't work for farmworkers, it doesn't work.

This is WILD. Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out! We knew AI causes power outages. Turns out it also makes them worse by being stupid.

We only ask once a year! Which means I probably should't repost this beyond a 24 hour period...so give, please? This work is so important, and our folks are throwing down so meaningfully! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

When the richest man in the world comes after you, it usually means you’re doing something right. Early in March, after we'd co-organized several Tesla Takedowns, Musk falsely accused us & targeted @valeriecosta.bsky.social. The threats followed. Far-right influencers showed up. And so did you.

We had so much fun postering around Amazon's offices to show that Amazon corporate workers are pushing back on the company's reckless AI plans. Sign our letter if you work at Amazon or sign our solidarity statement if you don't, link in bio! TY to friends at @stand.earth @troublemakers.bsky.social!

Ooooh. Have fun, kids!

Genius-level strategy: Tesla "Robotaxis" keep crashing even with a human "safety monitor" in the car to intervene. So let's remove the "safety monitor" and that'll make it even more safer! #TeslaTakedown electrek.co/2025/12/15/t...

You have 7 more hours! Please do this if you can.

If you're in WA & concerned about the impacts of data centers, comment by midnight tonight! FIVE MINUTES can help create a flood of public backlash. Urge the Department of Ecology to DENY the permit for NINETEEN additional diesel generators at a Sabey data center in Quincy. Key points & link here!

As the cost of living in urban areas becomes so out of reach for many WA families, ppl are pushed into fire zones & flood plains; then they are more at harm due to impacts of climate change. These are equity and environmental justice issues; need compassionate solutions for vulnerable communities.

The thing I am asked the most is “what can I do?” Followed by “is there any point?” I am not asked “Is the climate crisis real/bad?” There’s your lever. It’s right there, with a big flashing light, and you still have people saying “no, no, don’t pull the lever, that’s hopium!”

Counterpoint: physical scientists are wildly unqualified to provide insight on the social, political and technological shifts required. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social is absolutely correct: coal, oil and gas are not mandatory. Rampant capitalism is not inevitable. ExxonMobil isn't all-powerful.

Nothing says "free speech absolutist" like having the president you bought kick people out of the country for saying mean things about you. What a weak, pathetic little man. #TeslaTakedown

In the PSA, “Creepy-looking humans are cast as the voices and faces of real AI chatbots that have allegedly shared dangerous information with young users who engaged with them, like how to harm themselves and hide an eating disorder from their parents.”

This succeeded! The hearing happened, but you can still submit comments through Sunday! ecology.wa.gov/events/aq/no...

You know what will make LLMs even more popular Having them deny medical care to Granny and disabled kids

TONIGHT! Join us, Seattle!

So inspired by Chicago’s 3D printers! We got 1,000 whistles in the mail last week. If you need whistles, email [email protected]

Seattle! From Tanggol Migrante: 🚨EMERGENCY CAMP-OUT AT NWDC: ICE DENIES STAY ORDER AND THREATENS TO DEPORT CRITICALLY ILL KUYA G🚨 In response to ICE wrongfully denying Kuya G’s Stay of Removal today, we are camping at the NWDC starting tonight at 7:30 PM.

Tomorrow night!

"We experience profound cognitive dissonance when CEOs talk about how AI will create a prosperous future of creativity supported by Universal Basic Income, all while fighting tooth and nail against the taxation that supports even the most basic social safety net." —AECJ member Amy Wang in The Hill.

"Dems must pivot to energy affordability and also embrace nuclear power" is a take I've read several times just today, and not a single time did the author pause to contemplate the dissonance.

Memphis Communities against Pollution (MCAP) needs our help fighting xAI's diesel generators! Can you phonebook next Monday or Wednesday? Please sign up! @justinjpearson.bsky.social docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

After California sued Tesla for false advertising, the company quietly changed the name to "full self-driving (supervised)." Now Elon's like "hahaha, no supervision needed." How many people will die because a Tesla owner listened to Elon? #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall techcrunch.com/2025/12/04/m...

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.

loved this conversation. Anyone need a crash course on why the intersection of AI, fascism and climate breakdown? We tried to cover it all!
