Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

Hegseth to Geneva Conventions: drop dead
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Govt should take this message seriously.
The far right, backed by the world's richest man, is actively stoking racial & political violence.
Staying quiet, flattering them, saying "we hear you" won't work.
Stand up for decency, for respect, for the best of modern Britain or watch those things burn

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

I find it mind boggling that our entire political class seems to be ignoring this. Musk is the owner of a major media platform that - as we’ve seen - can shape media and political discourse. And the official response seems to be head in the sand.

Genuinely if somebody uses “woke” in a pejorative sense, I don’t trust them. Either they are sympathetic to white supremacy or too ignorant to detect it.

Given that it took less than twenty years to go from the US to go from the GFC to whatever the hell it’s doing now, I think it’s fair to say those who endured the GFC weren’t as scarred by it as the narrative would have you believe
