Kinda amazing how data centers can make a big problem catastrophic. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

When you can’t defend your business model or practices you attack the victim, their family, and apparently anyone that had contact with them. Silicon Valley only cares about extracting as much $$$ as they can.

The crisis is that these people couldn’t care less about you, if anything to Altman, jony ivy, and laurene jobs, you (and the planet) are just collateral damage, a thing to break on their way to world domination. Billionaires always say their idea will improve life. gizmodo.com/openai-is-ha...

Yes Larry Summers is rightly denounced for his Epstein ultra-creepitude and being a stupid sexist bastard in his academic positions, but he doesn't get enough denunciation for being a scheming deregulatory asshole who buddied with Wall Street to fuck up not only our economy but that of the world.

Just so much to unpack, not least of which is tech CEOs inability to care about anything other than money extraction but JFC facial recognition of users, of children? Read the room asshat. futurism.com/artificial-i...

The Endangered Species Act is the world’s most successful conservation law, but it's under attack AGAIN. The Trump administration just proposed four new rules that would gut the Act and drive species closer to extinction. act.biologicaldiversity.org/nXrxsHJM-USw...

More than 300 lobbyists for food and farming organizations have participated at this year’s United Nations climate talks, known as COP30, taking place in the Brazilian Amazon, where agribusiness is the leading cause of deforestation, a new investigation has found. www.desmog.com/2025/11/18/m...

Steve Pearce, Trump's nominee to lead the BLM, might be the single biggest threat Western public lands have ever seen. He's long been obsessed with selling off our natural heritage & urged local governments to take control of federally protected public lands. We must stop him.

Have the tech CEOs crossed the line from enabling to collusion yet? Just thinking about those titans of industry pre 1940 and soon after.

So yesterday Trump was holding hands with MBS, and today he's demanding the execution of two Senators and four Representatives. Seems like something rubbed off

This guy has been pretty clear who he is and what he stands for. How long do the enablers and others that assist him get to pretend otherwise?

The tech bros have been buying their bully puppet, and he is all too willing to do their bidding.

What a blast from the past to find @starckclub.bsky.social on here. I exhibited work on the walls of the club in the late 80s, and did some runway modeling for a clothing designer around that time.

In states that ban abortion, patients with chronic conditions and other high-risk pregnancies often have nowhere to turn. They enter pregnancy sick and are expected to get sicker. Yet lawmakers who wrote the bans have refused to create exceptions for health risks. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Two murderous dictators pat each other on the back, laugh and all the billionaires applaud. What a country.

No amount of charity Jensen Huang and his foundation does will be able to remove the stain left by his business deals and dining at a state dinner to honor a murderous dictator. Silicon Valley's tech CEOs have no shame.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Tim Cook was there, but for a guy that long pretended to care about human rights, that had posters of Kennedy and MLK on his office wall, it's infuriating. There is absolutely no business case for attending a state dinner honoring a murderous dictator.

I wouldn't doubt that every single one of these billionaires would pay to have someone bone sawed if they got in their way. Also at the dinner was the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang. $$$ trumps everything for these people.

A decent primer on one of my favorite artists, no mention of JG producing the original demo tape for White Zombie though. Discovering his Scraping Foetus off the Wheel 'Nail' album at Bill's Records in Dallas in the 80s was a revelation- opened a world of music. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/suck-o...

How Silicon Valley embraced monopoly and fascism. When I moved here 28 years ago I read Cyberselfish as I saw initial stages of what was happening in big tech and its acceleration into power without accountability.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 We're suing the city of San Jose for its pervasive ALPR surveillance program. With nearly 500 ALPRs, the SJPD allows its officers to search millions of records, all without a warrant. These unconstitutional searches must be stopped. Read the complaint: www.eff.org/cases/siren...

I don't generally believe in the concept of Evil, but I really am at a loss for words as to how else to describe this picture of two insufferable, murderous pricks deflecting questions as they sit in some gold covered vegas lounge. 🤮

I hope all the Riyadh Comedy Festival performers sleep well tonight. This is who you are in bed with.

Let's be clear here. The "thing" that happened is the murder and dismembering of a journalist. To hell with anyone that would stick their head up this dictator's ass so far they can no longer see. I guess there really isn't a surprise here since this asshole is murdering people in the Caribbean.

Great review. The book could have been called 'The Billionaire's Compromise.'

A must read regarding the ethical lapses US companies take to become global powerhouses. Tim Cook's moral compass and its recent malfunction (Trump ass-kissing,) may actually reflect his profound ability to look the other way when deemed necessary for $. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/comm...

They’re not cowardly. They’re complicit. Assuming they’re cowardly gives them the benefit of the doubt of being in opposition.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Yes, our government of clowns (no offense to 🤡) is that petty and stupid.

As if this POS Musk and his tech bros weren’t creepy enough, they keep finding a way.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

It's not policy, just a schoolyard bully enforcing his cruelty. www.nationofchange.org/2025/11/03/u...

There’s no opt-out, no warrant requirement, and almost no oversight. In a nation built on personal freedom, the idea that the government can identify, track, and store your data simply by pointing a phone at your face should alarm everyone citizens and non-citizens alike.

A tale of 2 species/places. Authorities compelled to act by activists including friends that were initially charged with felony for rescuing dogs.
