If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us.
When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

The world we know was built on mass killings, weaponised disease, sexual violence, cultural erasure, and slavery.

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.
The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term.

I’m proud of myself for avoiding most of the AI hype talk at #4C25. One talk snuck some in, but an audience member proposed artists do the suggested work instead.

A Reuters survey of 13 major U.S. electric utility earnings transcripts found nearly half have received inquiries from data center companies for volumes of power that would exceed their peak demand or existing generation capacity - that's everything they supply to homes and businesses …

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics.
They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.
