I know you’ve heard it a million times before, or perhaps a billion. But: #AllBillionairesAreCriminals And now those same billionaires are stepping forward and claiming a new distinction! Now we know that #AllBillionairesAreMassMurderers too. Kind of book-ends the whole billionaire thing

We have a new entry in the climate dictionary under “irony”

There’s a judge just begging to be overturned.

The technocracy realized quite a while ago that data is power. But not for the people. In fact, the technocrats also learned very early on, to use data specifically to prevent the rise of people. Union busting Surveillance Economic control Data control Banking control Price controls Currency fraud

1. A new federal lawsuit alleges that gas station companies across California are engaged in an illegal conspiracy, powered by AI software, to raise prices.

4. Kalibrate’s marketing materials warn gas station owners that when faced with “falling oil prices… it’s critical to avoid a race to the bottom.” The company advises gas stations to avoid “sacrificing margin” to increase their volume of sales.

This is a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the history of political violence in the US that refutes many common myths, misconceptions, and misguided conspiracy theories.

Elon Musk is a psychopath who doesn’t feel remorse, guilt or empathy. In him these attributes are “missing.” How do I make this diagnosis with such certainty? If he were to feel any of those emotions at a level commensurate with his murderous actions, he’d have taken this own life by now.

The Luddites are having a moment (again): they're being discussed and rehabbed everywhere from NPR to US Catholics Magazine to Psychology Today. So, adapted from my book on the subject, here's a short-ish rundown of what you need to know to understand the Luddites in the age of AI.

Having spent a not insignificant time in Egypt working w/Egyptian Muslims, this rings true. Most Muslims are the most generous, hospitable, humble people. My built-in prejudice against hard-line patriarchies aside (being a female boss in the desert was tough) folks overall were just so open & kind.

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

“They thought no one's paying attention to warehouse sales,” Wriston said. "Maybe people are distracted by the data center purchases, which are equally important to pay attention to. And that wasn't the case.”

Post from March 1st about Turkey:

BREAKING: Trump and Gabbard are blocking the release two new reports commissioned by ODNI showing zero vote manipulation in the 2020 election.

Sotomayor, dissenting: "The court’s refusal to intervene both creates a significant risk that Saldaño’s fundamental rights will be violated in contravention of the Eighth Amendment and disserves the State’s important interests in preventing that result." www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Texas agrees this defendant👇may be intellectually disabled and ineligible for the death penalty. It asked SCOTUS to (a) vacate a lower court decision that refused to consider this possibility and (b) instruct it to evaluate the evidence. Today SCOTUS refused 6–3. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

What did @regimecpa.bsky.social know?

Tulsi Gabbard’s deep connections to a cult run by a man named Chris Butler have been reported on for at least a decade. But man, this is wild. This report suggests he actively directed her political strategy while she was in Congress. Right down to what she said during TV appearances.

I wonder how many of us would be as composed as Iran has been at a World Cup where they’ve been treated badly every step of the way.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

“A slow, heavy desert lizard called the Gila monster can go months between meals. In the early 1990s, a physician-scientist named John Eng grew curious about how it keeps its blood sugar steady across those long fasts… Years later, a synthetic version of that molecule became the first GLP-1 drugs”

The genocidal regime launched over 100 airstrikes over Lebanon, largely on the ancient town of Nabatieh, in the past 24h. Israel bombed Nabatieh in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996, 2006 and now hundreds of times since 2024. bsky.app/profile/mega...

Keep in mind he’s sending this message—which, again, seems to be a call for mass murder—to 240 million followers. If you thought Musk didn’t care about nonwhite lives when he proposed a PARTY to celebrate USAID cuts estimated to kill 14 million by 2030, this is your wakeup call.

In 2009 a Swedish news outlet reported that 'Israel' was harvesting organs from Palestinians. This outraged 'Israel' which called it antisemitic and blood libel, and asked the swedish govt to denounce it.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building wider roads leads to more cars stuck in the same congestion. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com

Weird how any negative framing of our auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on aggressive car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

The most arrogant and also most poorly informed vice president in modern history.

After Immigration and Customs Enforcement purchased more than a dozen empty warehouses across the United States, planning to expand capacity to detain people that it deemed to be in the country illegally, it wants to get rid of many of them.

I passed about 6 National Guardsmen in my neighborhood when I was walking and while they were very nice to me I just feel bad they are being used for such a stupid & vain purpose. This isn't what they signed up for & they have much more pressing issues to tend to.
