@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social Given the current state of GrokAI, is Rory Stewart still find it useful? I was quite surprised when it was one of his three AI choices.

Apple's partnership with Alibaba to bring AI features to iPhones in China raises alarms in Washington over security concerns. #Apple #Alibaba #China #AI

Donald Trump refused to rule out a recession in America, saying "There is a period of transition... it takes time". After all, Rome wasn't destroyed in a day

There's legitimately blood in the water at this point. Keep attending Tesla protests. Post about it. Solidify the brand's association with Nazi incels.

@chadbourn.bsky.social Seems like a big deal 👀 .

Pro-Ukraine protests across US after Trump-Zelensky clash

Norwegian fuel supplier Haltbakk Bunkers said it will stop fueling U.S. military over Ukraine policy. In a statement, they slammed a recent Trump-Vance event as a backstabbing TV show and declared: "No Fuel to Americans" Meanwhile, the statement has been removed. www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

@chadbourn.bsky.social What's your take on this? If this is not smoke and mirrors then American tech companies have been dumping a hell of a lot of capital into AI that now appears to be a waste. Techbros push Trump to ban Deepseek? How do they justify further large investment and subscription cost?

If you’re looking at what’s happening in the US, seeing Musk considering making massive donations to Reform & trying to subvert our democracy, and are rightly horrified, might I recommend signing this - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Brilliant 🤩 🤣🤣

Elon Musk is—I say this advisedly, as a biographer of his life—the absolute worst.

The much-discussed Department of Government Efficiency is finally coming to fruition—but it’s not the stringent, $2 trillion cost-cutting agency that Elon Musk had promised.

As night follows day. How did Trump think this was going to go down in this digital day and age? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/u... www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/u...

No conflict of interest to be seen here 🙄

Finally!

Yes. This. Each time I post about the hypocrisy I'm getting these kinds of cynical responses, and really, stop it. I get that everyone copes in their own way, but don't pre-give in. Fight for your actual rights. Call out the hypocrisy. Not to convince them, but to remind everyone else.

Biden has authorised Ukraine to use US missiles to strike within Russia, the NYT reports. Finally. It should have been done months ago, like everything in Biden’s Ukraine policy, but at least Ukraine has a chance before Trump tries to give them up to Putin.

Goosebump inducingly brilliant article and excellent advice from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social - please read it, digest it and share it. I heartily tip my hat. 🐻🎩

If course old Musky has to get involved to ruin the fun. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What is Bluesky and why are so many people suddenly leaving X for the platform?

In case you wanted 2500 words on why Marc Andreessen claiming both to be for free markets/free speech AND threatening criminal prosecutions for (1) not advertising (2) advocating for better content moderation and (3) alerting companies to scammers is incompatible... www.techdirt.com/2024/11/14/y...

But, just to be clear, 15,000,000 of us are going to end up in a courtroom in Texas, defending a legal challenge from Musk that we illegally conspired to leave his platform.

Tech leaders are lining up to congratulate Trump, but Apple CEO Tim Cook beat them to the punch. He’s spent years building relationships in Trump World, and he’s ready to use the same playbook in 2025.

With Mark Cuban rejoining Bluesky, just going to note that his Costplus Drugs is one of the legitimately best things to happen to health care in a while. If you have prescriptions, it's worth checking if they're cheaper there. They likely are.

A lot of new followers over the past few days: welcome all of you! Would you please help spread the word about our account on BlueSky by reposting this post? That way as many people as possible will be kept up to date with daily news about the war in Ukraine. Thanks! #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar

I spent the last few months channeling all my election anxiety into a giant sprawling spreadsheet tracking all 109 (i think) Project 2025 orgs, their top funders, staff, networks they belong to, + tax status and whether they appear to be violating it. Go wild: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
