Let's talk about what happens when oil prices go through the roof and stay there - because it really isn't pretty, it's going to hit our economy incredibly hard, and it's only peripherally about how much it costs to fill the tank.

every weekend you can watch someone like Lawrence Stroll find out that spending infinity money doesn't actually make them smarter and better than everyone else

Another reminder that billionaires are not billionaires because they are smart.

They are rich because they are broken in a way that allows them to completely ignore morality in order to gather more wealth in a doomed attempt to fill the unfillable hole inside them.

Meta sued over AI smart glasses' privacy concerns, after workers reviewed nudity, sex, and other footage | TechCrunch Lawyers say Meta's marketing materials promised privacy and user control over sharing footage. But an investigation found that subcontractors are reviewing footage from customers' glasses.

That escalated quickly.

Yes, and I recall illuminating @deathpanel.bsky.social epidode with @lizjackson.bsky.social and @fractalecho.bsky.social about the history and ongoing practice of technologies co-created with disabled people for accessibility being repurposed into tools of war when they discussed the article.

I know that @fractalecho.bsky.social and @lizjackson.bsky.social wrote a great piece on a related topic: how disability tech and technologies of war and violence are entangled for @thenewrepublic.bsky.social
It’s a must read to understand disability and AI discourse

I don't really have words for how embarrassing it is that they are willing to do this crybully authoritarianism to assert dominance. Like way more embarrassing than the usual behavior.

Not only is this a betrayal to core campaign promises, he’s using neoliberal rhetoric to paint libraries as β€œcosts” rather than capacity.

i.e. what @moneyontheleft.bsky.social calls Neoliberal Public Finance.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
