The right wing parties are using the same argument over here. It started with illegal immigrants people pn boats. Its now drifting to people who "aren't british" - I'll give you a hint: they judge britishness with a skin colour chart.

If we actually did something about light pollution the sky would be more beautiful every night than it was during the aurora. AND you'd be able to see the aurora better.
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

"Computers [and phones] became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue."
Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

it's kinda crazy that incels successfully rebranded being an incel as Male Loneliness Epidemic. like people really tackled that one like it was serious when it just collapses under the basic scrutiny of "why don't the lonely males hang out"

Do people remember that this same NYT reporter solicited a $30,000 donation from Jeffrey Epstein for a Montessori school and then got pushed out of the Times by Ellen Pollock shortly after?

And he refused to share Epstein's contact info with another NYT reporter assigned to do the piece about him.

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more,
which means things can get better,
which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

SWAMP THING CREATOR LEN WEIN????
watched the horror film/fake documentary thing 'Savageland' last night and was pleased to see the far-and-away most convincing acting in it was from, bizarrely, Len Wein

arts festival president saying "half our grants go back to city in police costs" is beyond infuriating. the police run a protection racket. they are a literal mob, dude
246: folk fest president. Advocating for increased funding for arts. Arts is a necessity. Festivals under threat. Many have folded. We bring in millions of dollars to economy. We bring joy in world of despair. Half of our grants just go back to city in police costs.

It is journalistic malpractice to be within a city block of Vance and not read him this tweet through a bullhorn
Well, he's certainly stayed consistent on that point!

Next week, he will have the chance to make his case for mercy.

Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death anyway.
