@dansup On a completely unrelated topic, my Pixelfed global feed has not been working for several days. Only local feed works.

This something smells of division by zero here:

@BeAware @benroyce Correction: They lied about it being a ”bug”, like their newly enacted policy of being a fucking lying cunt, as examplified by their leader’s performance put on at Joe Rogan’s house. Lying like it’s Russia is the new normal.

@davetroy Be like Brazil. Ban X. Musk shut up about it immediately, hasn’t said a word about them since.

@aral The reality of course is, that if you put people in a precarious enough situation, they’ll so what you want out of fear.

@kravietz BTW, Finland & Baltics have been dealing with this every year since the Soviet Union ended.

It was just a little less frequent in the 1990’s.

Make Köeningsberg Great Again! 😉

My hospital bill.

I love the fucking deep state, okay? 🫵😆

#MAGA moved pretty damn quick from:
”Lowering prices for Americans and not starting any new wars”

To ”We need to take over Canada, Panama & Greenland, and we can’t guarantee we won’t use force”

This of course, shouldn’t surprise anyone who remembers their lessons of #conservatism

It is about power, might makes right and saying whatever justifies the thing that you want right now

The only thing that doesn’t change, is who should be in power, and especially who should suffer

The rich don’t mind the economy crashing.
It’s their great chance to buy the house you lose for cheap and then rent it back to you.

@AliceStollmeyer Why are Americans so keen on continuing to sanewash Trump?

Putin will run laps around him.

@demi7en @AliceStollmeyer Definitely should be clear after Trump has landed threats against three sovereign nations, that USA has become a hostile foreign actor.

And we should start by ceasing our reliance on their technologies, which they use against us, to spy on us and to control our national political discourses.

Europe is now between two hostile empires hell-bent on exploiting us to smithereens.

@farbel False. The 2008 financial crisis reversed that course.

They will be bailed out by the same taxpayer money that will do nothing to save the people who will lose everything.

The largest 5 private equity firms get a boost to their stocks when market anticipates a crisis, because they expect the bailouts to start rolling in.

These companies are too big to fail, and they own a stake in almost everything.

The only #ai product I actually want, is a toilet seat. One that analyses my urine & stool and checks for health problems.

All the rest, the useless #genai stuff, are just outsourcing human imagination to machines that run on ripped-off human imagination. And that actually makes my life worse and makes me feel like thief. I don’t want to downgrade my daily game to a tutorial level. Who the fuck does that?

Deleted #facebook app today.
Zuck can keep his junk.

A great round-up of #curtisyarwin, the father of #darkenlightment followed by JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk & basically the philosopher behind the ideas of the postmodern #altright.

Now that we have these people in power, and ready to implement Yarwin’s caste society where you don’t vote, you should know & study his #authoritarian ideals.

@ATLeagle @GrimmReality The problem with how we developed media since 2010 is that we scaled up the information volume, but we did nothing to scale up reliability of information.

On a level playing field, truth loses out to misinformation.

Misinformation is cheap, emotional, cozy, luvvy, funny & a dime a dozen.
Truth is expensive, complicated, rare & often painful.

Our forefathers knew this, but we thought we knew better in our ”freedom” hype. Nope. We didn’t .

”Forgiving”, said Lex. About #Ukraine supposedly having to forgive Russia it’s attack.

This is perhaps the lowest point of the interview.

Nobody’s going to forgive mass murder & invasion. That just doesn’t happen. Among the many unrealistic non-viable feel-good fluff Lex Fridman spouted this is the worst.

This is where he reveals his stance: He is speaking from an imperial position. Because only empires think people they conquer can love them for it!

We who have been conquered know better.

Since everybody's making reaction videos to #LexFridman with #zelensky, I had to make myself one as well.

He sure has changed. And that's Lex i mean.

He's been totally captured by his audience, and now looks more like a puppet playing his former self, playing politics hard instead.

He's one of the biggest. He's got allegiances, he's got leverage. And it's as clear as day.

The intellectual humility of former Lex isn't there at all anymore.

#reaction #video

I'm really glad I listened to this interview of Volodomyr #Zelensky by #LexFridman.

Because, honestly, he's changed. And I mean Lex here.

This is the first time in many years I have, and the intellectual humility I knew is gone.

He's become a powerful media figure, a power broker in #politics, and behaves accordingly.

Even if he still has the demeanor of "just a tech guy", he pushes politics, hard. He's not there to listen.

The same as Rogan. Power corrupts.

#dontlookup needs to trend again
There is a rich rocket man with a corrupt US president at his command in this movie

@profstevekeen explains how the model Elon Musk and other #governmentspending cutters use to inflict #austerity on us is wrong.

It’s based on false ideas about economy from the middle ages.

For us living in the 21st century, government borrowing to finance the deficit is a sustainable system because of central banks and private banks are constantly creating money.

Boom! Abundance, not scarcity!
Fiat money rocks 🙂
