Tech feudal lords have successfully integrated themselves with the machinery of the state in multiple economies, and the collective wealth of the workers is being spent propping up their industry. That's why it's not popping. Entire national economies have been hitched to it.

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

found the post of all time for the shit I be feeling lately, oh my fucking god

Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Alberta separatism is the endpoint of the right wing radio/podcast post-truth ecosystem: a vocal and violent minority trying to tear everything down out of a belief that being petty lords over rubble is preferable to the tyranny of bike lanes and public transit.

The Trump White House freaked out so much at the political disaster they created for themselves with Minnesota and other viral images of their roving, trigger happy crackdowns that they were forced to make their secret police force more secretive, but they’re still committing lawless abuses and…

Ryan Cohen likes complaining about CEO salaries which, fair, it's worth complaining about, but it's also worth remembering that Ryan Cohen wrote himself a $35 billion compensation package. Also he switches his table from YOY to cumulative because CEO pay went down.

i dunno man, there's something about realizing that about a third of the people around you are racist, uncaring, selfish monsters that is really shaking up my lifelong but clearly naive worldview that people are all generally the same and motivated by the same stuff

i am putting way too much effort into this lmao 🙈

The cascading failure of BlueSky moderation really is impressive. Going out of their way to make sure this place has “2003 forum with petty moderator drama” vibes playing out at “global town hall” scales.

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

You are NOT allowed to say "We need to persecute Bluesky moderators"

Brexit has been a masterclass in how to help your enemies. It provided Russia and China with a fractured European front and gave the US a weaker trade partner to exploit. The experiment failed. Reversing this mistake is a matter of national and continental security

"Quote from Count Dankula" — the Russian government

People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.

The Two Trumps

This newly insane, unprecedented legal stalling does nothing but delay our deal with the receiver to take control of InfoWars. We now expect new traps in Alex Jones' amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we're freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system's appetite to put up with it.

Why Was I Invited To An Island Off The Coast of Costa Rica By A Genetics Company? (With apologies to Dan Olson)

Steve Kerr spot on as usual

Think about all the ways that this administration has already used violence, from killing random people in boats to bombing school girls in Iran to disappearing people in the street before denying them medical care - and then realize this idiot thinks the violence started last night.

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

I don't get why a bunch of people on BlueSky instantly concluded this assassination attempt was fake? I mean, like, I guess it could be, wouldn't be the strangest thing to have happened ever. But probably not, surely? What would even be the point of that? Just - why the weird conspiracy brain stuff?

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

If you think AI surveillance cameras aimed at drivers’ faces is a good idea (no matter how well intentioned the justification), you are a naive fool. This data will be harvested, sold to fascists, and used to imprison activists. Oh, and car companies will 100% use it for ads you can’t turn off.

i don't know how to parody this anymore

Thank you all so much for tuning in and raising another $1.7K for UNICEF! We got the first ending of the game and are making headway towards the true ending, and Wolf was shockingly well-behaved pretty much the whole time! -R

Maybe the boys will be okay. Remember, if it's not an enthusiastic "yes", it's always a "no"!

I wish more publications would get behind No Games For Genocide; or at least mention in a passing note in articles about the company's gaming business that Microsoft is providing software and logistical support for an ongoing genocide.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Giving a pack of Epstein associates a comprehensive list of all children in the country with home address and school listed, sortable by various traits that indicate vulnerability to exploitation, is the literal diametric opposite of keeping kids safe.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

*my* thing about the Pope which drives me batty is when WBEZ keeps referring to him as the "Chicago-born pontiff" or what have you - while at the same time never ever forgetting to say "suburban [place]" whenever something's happening outside the city limits. so which is it you gatekeepy fucks

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.
