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.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Nobody asked for it. We did it anyway.

If you ever used Winamp during the later years, it had an awesome, awesome visualizer called Milkdrop. The Webamp people implemented a workalike called Butterchurn.

Internet Archive now supports Webamp and Butterchurn. Just click on the llama!

The reason we're releasing this in theatres is because it's incredibly fun to watch in a room full of people. People lose their minds at it. We want people to watch it together.

So! Do you run or know somebody who runs an indie theatre?

If so, contact us, and we'll let you screen it for free.

In the last few days, we've assembled independent theatres in LA, New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Chicago to air this thing.

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile will be in theatres on October 2nd after all, followed by the first theatrical screening of Sex House. It is going to be fun as hell.

FWIW i’ve switched to @bookshop.org for ebooks and Libro for audio books and with very few exceptions had the exact same experience as Amazon without the greasy aftertaste. Highly recommended.

When you find out about Libro.fm, an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible that’s 100% employee owned, a Certified B Corporation, and shares profits with 4,000+ independent bookshops 😍

"Bosses value a compliant and easily abused workforce more than money" is the woefully underdiscussed knuckle tattoo on Adam Smith's invisible hand.
yeah, they were doing great thanks to Big Fiscal. and "wanting to exploit their workers more" can easily end up reducing profits. bosses value a compliant and easily abused workforce more than money bsky.app/profile/tft....
Oh, sure. The narrative they were inhabiting was that they weren't the beneficiaries of a powerfully successful socioeconomic system under Biden, and they needed a liberator. But it is also very important to make sure that we don't confuse their narrative with reality, right?

I'd love to see Democrats actually doing rural outreach instead of writing rural areas off, and slapping the name of the current Democratic president all over farm bills and the funds that go out under them.

Fascists do not believe in free speech as a universal principle. Free speech is a tool they'll happily use, but they don't think everyone should have it. They don't believe in universal moral principles at all. Rights and privileges are for the in-group, obligations are for everyone else.
When you support Free Speech but only for your self what you're for is your own untrammeled power.
