Contrary to right-wing messaging, Colombia’s president did not back down. He just didn’t want his people used for Trump’s performative cruelty.
So instead Trump threatens another ally, and we now have another trade war.

This was always the obvious endgame that anyone with half a brain saw coming when AI started being forced down our throats
"Lets make the AI surveillance state", is a really odd take after the 2024 presidential election. You're worried about the deep state and your solution is to hand them more powerful AI tools?

Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Billionaire Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison said he expects AI surveillance systems to reach a point where all citizens are under constant watch.

I assure you that they can do that if nobody is willing to stop them from doing that.

megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!
it is *wild* how a primary effect of unspendable wealth can be making someone incomprehensibly thin-skinned

Congress is genuinely too corrupt to pass even baseline privacy protections for the data broker era, but that's simply not a fact that's mentioned in 95% of press coverage
it's always framed as if some ambiguous externalities preventing otherwise well intentioned pols from reaching consensus

Data privacy rights are like bullet trains, walkable cities, and universal healthcare, a pipe dream, a utopian fantasy, something that's standard elsewhere but portrayed as utterly impossible in the United States.
Hear me out: What if, instead of infringing on Americans’ rights and taking stuff away from them, Congress gave them even *more rights*?
If that sounds good to you, that’s fundamentally what a national data privacy law — governing all companies, not just the Big Bad of the day — is all about.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

The richest man in the world says he wants to shut down the government, forcing millions of American workers - including our troops - to go without pay through the holidays.
Republicans are following his orders. This is insane.
