7. Immigrants, asylum seekers, Muslims, women, transgender people, disabled people, students, protesters: anyone and everyone must be blamed for our dysfunctions, except those causing them. Ever more extreme “culture wars” (a euphemism for divide-and-rule) must be waged.

2. There’s a basic metric by which you can tell who in politics are your allies and who are your enemies: whether they support or oppose the extreme concentration of wealth. Those who support it (let’s call them Group 1) are the political right. Those who oppose it (Group 2) are the political left.

Please be specific when warning about "AI" in software!
AI is just a buzzword for machine learning, and we all use machine learning every day. VTubing wouldn't exist without it (face tracking). All good TTS is using ML, and that's fine, if it's consensually and ethically trained.

THAT is the real reason why Trump is so obsessed with the Nobel peace prize, he can’t withstand being less than a black man.

Bluesky isn't trying to become a viable alternative for the "Global Townsquare", it's trying to build a POC for a protocol so we don't have to shove everyone into the same space with the same rules.
It isn't competing. It's building a new way.

I don’t know how the narrative of American democracy can survive this. The country voted to give the nuclear codes to a mental toddler who’s going to start a war because he didn’t get a participation trophy.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Is this the moment we can finally get serious about furthering democracy, structuring markets so they work for people, and getting started on tech sovereignty?
We know how and we have the means. Trade appeasement hasn't worked. Let's get moving! 🇪🇺

Microsoft: You have two options: Microsoft 365 Personal for $99/year; or Office Home 2024 for $149.99 one time.
Me: One time payment for $150.
Microsoft: But it's only Word, Excel, and Powerpoint offline. And you won't get Copilot!

For decades, the West has outsourced its own material production to other countries. While this has seemed like a success on the surface, it has left us with a society based on consumption, unable to produce what we need on our own.
In this conversation, Nate is joined by materials expert and investor Craig Tindale, who explores the profound vulnerabilities facing Western economies by what he calls “Industrialization 2.0.”

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death.
That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

It's all about this. Rampant impunity everywhere. Men who think rules are for other people. Because they are rich. Because they have nukes. Because they own the tech. Sometimes all three.
There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"
