I’ve spent the last year running Linux as my primary OS, deleted everything I can from FB, and only had to use Amazon once. It’s quite liberating. Now I just need to get email off iCloud

This.

Also, why my laptop runs Ubuntu and I have no Meta, Google, or social media apps other than Bluesky on my phone.

(I'd be Microsoft and Amazon free too, expect I need Outlook for work and I just downloaded Audible to listen to "Character Limit.)

One reason why I use Firefox.

Tech companies are feasting off YOUR data. What Musk is doing to the US government is just the logical end of their business model. Your data and your attention are commodified, securitized, repackaged and sold like mortgages before the 2008 crash.

Former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, a candidate to succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister, suggested hitting Trump ally Elon Musk directly by applying a 100% tariff on Tesla Inc. electric vehicles.

Nah that requires empathy and the capacity to think about someone other than himself. He’s not capable of that.

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

Every CEO of every health insurance company should be held liable for any death that results from a denied claim. Our world is failing because the wealthy lack accountability.

Not saying tort law can fix this, but: it sure would help if insurers routinely had to pay millions in damages for unconscionable denials (and were thus incentivized to stop doing them in the first place).

Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."

This story is uh, insane www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...
Adair, Iowa, had a population of 794. So, it seemed suspicious when its three-person police department asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns, including an M134 Gatling-style minigun capable of shooting up to 6,000 rounds of ammunition every minute. Federal agents later discovered Adair's police chief, Bradley Wendt, was using his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit. A jury convicted Wendt earlier this year of conspiracy to defraud the United States, lying to federal law enforcement and illegal possession of a machine gun. Wendt is unapologetic and has appealed his conviction. "If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy had a person they pushed to be in the Trump admin: Russell Vought.

Here's our profile of Vought from @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social
