Stop Normalizing Fascism If not now, then when?

broligarchy.substack.com/p/stop-norma...
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social telling it like it is
#antifa #antifascism #stoptrump

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

If NATO were the fellowship of the ring:

Gandalf strides onto the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Raises the staff. Lowers it. Shakes the Balrog’s hand. Turns to the Fellowship and says: “You’re weak. Total disaster. I made a great deal. Best deal. You should run.”

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

Open any book and you'll find magic. #books #booklovers #amreading

World Economic Forum + Add to myFT Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Al boom could falter without wider adoption

Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has warned that Al risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies. Nadella on Tuesday said that the long-term success of the fast-developing technology would depend on it being used by a broad range of industries as well as on uptake outside of the developed world. "For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread," said Nadella. He noted that a "tell-tale sign of if it's a bubble" would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors.

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out?

I'm going to do an experiment in the new year. No meta posting (well, I may post occasionally, but not consistently like I have done previously). Meta has died for me, so bsky has become my chosen platform to reach lovely folk! Blogging for me next year, LET'S DO THIS! #escapefrommeta #2026
