Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.

This, goddamn it! You do not debate people who question your right to exist or question the rights of other people to exist. You fight them and keep fighting them and never stop fighting them. Being moderate in the face of far right extremism is nothing but capitulation and appeasement.
Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.

Technologies generally persist until something better comes along to replace it, and unfortunately for the AI bubble and its hapless investors, AI has already been replaced with the significantly better technology of “not using AI”.
“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Excellent summary by the leading analyst of Tesla. Like Trump, musk has gotten away with criminal activity over and over again by supine regulators overwhelmed by high priced Tesla lawyers. Now, finally finally finally, there might be some accountability.
The CA DMV won their lawsuit vs Tesla for FSD fraud & will suspend Tesla's sales & output in CA for 30 days.
The profit impact (<$1B) is nothing. The legal precedent is huge: FSD is not "self-driving" & Tesla lies.
This bolsters 2 class actions against $TSLA FSD fraud & more.

One important thing to keep in mind: live below your means whenever you can. Saving money brings you freedom. You can only choose your own path if you have options, and those options come from having savings. Wealth inequality is getting worse, and almost everyone will suffer from it. Save money.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
