Satoshi could be Danny LaRue for all it matters at this point

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

1/8 Yesterday I was asked a question live on @lbc.co.uk by @mrjamesob.bsky.social : What happens if the United States intercepts a Chinese cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz? At the time, I said I didn’t want to think about it. Since then, I have. #Hormuz #MaritimeSecurity

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities..labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. And they’re replacing all of it..with fifteen political appointees” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

follow up: her marxist daughter (me) is giving her better financial advice than her retirement portfolio manager this is because marxists understand capitalism better than most capitalists

New reporting undermines right-wing media clims that high gas prices are "short-term"

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

. NEVER stop talking about the Epstein Files ! 💠 👊 💠

Not RHCP fans but we took a chance on Flea's "Honora" album. It's so good.

⛓️‍💥 It’s time to free our homes from fossil fuels. In practice, that means: solar panels, heat pumps and insulation upgrades. Solutions to make us rely on affordable, crisis-proof renewable energy. This isn’t about one single technology. It’s about combining them. Let’s call them “Independence Kits”

“if we let people vote, we will lose” is the actual republican message that they are saying out loud. is there anything the democrats can do with this? probably not.

I have headphones permanently connected so I ask Teams to have a secondary ringer. Every so often it decides to switch this function off and I miss calls. Why, Teams? Why are you like this? Skype for Business never did this to me!

I've been fortunate enough to meet many formidably smart, fully committed, & thoroughly decent people who, for years, have strived to try to avert dangerous climate change. They failed. Saying that does not lessen my gratitude to them, 1/11 www.technosphere.earth/yes-we-can-n...

If we want a stable, secure, peaceful world, our governments should support democracy and self-determination everywhere, whether or not they agree with what the people want. Instead, for centuries, they have attacked democracy and self-rule, and we all live with the consequences.

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Thou Shalt Not Start A War Because Everyone Hates You

To the press who have been saying Trump might support Ukraine, Trump might get tough on Putin, Witkoff is misleading Trump, etc...ask yourself this. If you are now saying Witkoff is being "naive", maybe you are the ones being naive, as you have been this entire time.

Anyone know a good alternative to Trakt?

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

“STOP TALKING ABOUT IT” is basically the ceremonial ribbon cutting for everyone to start talking about it.

You report to the immigration court for your final hearing. There is ICE, waiting to snag you before you can go in. Now you are an illegal immigrant, with no DUE PROCESS & thrown in a cage in a detention camp. Republicans don’t want LEGAL immigration either…..

Inside me there are two wolves. Both those wolves are very lazy and would like a sit down.

Everything is for sale.

Worst fonts ever: 1. Aptos 2. Comic Sans MS 3. Papyrus I will metaphorically die on this theoretical hill.

Why is a convicted sex traffickers word worth more than the hundreds of Epstein survivors who’ve told us who the predators are? Why do we need to give Ghislaine Maxwell clemency to find out what men were involved? She has more of a reason to lie than ANY of the victims.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

Last time I was in London at a major railway station I was very disappointed to see nobody has yet opened a third party Apple store called iPaddington.

This is the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. They are violent for Führer Trump. So they will be rewarded and ultimately pardoned if need be/possible. Basic right from wrong is being eviscerated before your eyes. And your free elections, your freedom, is next.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened — that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death." www.thriftbooks.com/w/nineteen-e...

I just closed all the apps on my phone. All 76 of them. I didn't even know I *had* that many on my phone, much less that I actually used them...

Why is embedding Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the British army, navy & airforce a national security disaster? Well consider what happens when you ‘buy’ a Tesla. You’re actually just renting the software. That can be turned off at any time. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Civil society condemns ‘dangerous’ UK govt plans for more anti-protest powers. Police must consider the “cumulative impact” of protests in the same area Example: An anti-racist march could be blocked from Whitehall because of a previous farmers’ protest. Civil rights constantly eroded.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Excel's cut/copy/paste game is hot garbage. Literally every other spreadsheet handles it better.

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

For people who like maximized windows we should be able to maximize them and just have like a tab control for each window. No, not the cluttered mess that is the windows start bar or macOS dock. Just the titles, no icons, no clutter. No stupid "let's group nine windows into a single icon" nonsense.

Glad these aren't for OCD

Does everyone gets asked "why are you here" at passport control now or did I just start looking shady last birthday?

I feel like there are three jams of the apocalypse: traffic, printer and strawberry.

And just like that, Arctic sea-ice extent is now over 200,000 square kilometers below the previous daily record for November 28th.
