Mark Zuckerberg wanted to fly his helicopter from his gigantic superyacht to go skiing on Swedish mountains and offered villagers tens of thousands, but they flat out refused, saying the noisy chopper would disturb their reindeer

"That billionaires would fly private jets to luxury yachts, then board helicopters to chase the last snow-covered peaks in Europe—while attempting to silence Indigenous voices—is being seen as a microcosm of global environmental inequality."

@WarnerCrocker For me as a European citizen the whole US government cannot be trusted anymore, that's all down the drain for at least a decade I fear.

E-mailverkeer is vooral in handen van Amerikaanse techreuzen, dit bedrijf doet het anders

"Nikhef wordt gefinancierd uit publieke middelen. Daarom heeft het meer verantwoordelijkheid voor het bewaken van de publieke ruimte dan een commercieel bedrijf, vindt hij. En daarom werkt het onderzoeksinstituut zoveel mogelijk met software waarvan de broncode openbaar is. Het voorkomt afhankelijkheid van één bedrijf dat zijn code afschermt."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Boycotting Donald Trump’s Inauguration: ‘I Don’t Celebrate Rapists’

https://www.thedailybeast.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-boycotting-donald-trumps-inauguration-i-dont-celebrate-rapists/

AOC: “I want you all to put all the pieces together, because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing,” she said. “What does this mean for us? Well, we’re on the eve of an authoritarian administration.”
She added, “This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like.”

This is Trump's America. There's Only One Winner Here.

@Daojoan : "The symbolism writes itself. Now unbound by the need for re-election, Trump drops even the pretense of populist accessibility. The Rotunda ceremony, to be attended by billionaires, political power brokers, and celebrity sycophants, sets the tone for what comes next: a kakistocracy – government by the worst – operating in plain sight, no longer bothering to disguise its nature."

Waarom boeren de neus ophalen voor zwaar gesubsidieerde poepzuigrobot

"Een productmanager verwachtte in 2023 dat binnen twee jaar zeker vierhonderd melkveehouders een Lely Sphere zouden aanschaffen, wat het bedrijf een omzet zou opleveren van 70 miljoen euro.

Een ding is zeker: dat streven is bij lange na niet gehaald. <KNIP>

Lely laat weten dat het in heel 2024 vijf systemen heeft verkocht, boven op 25 al bestaande installaties."

"Ondanks voorzorgsmaatregelen zijn de demonstranten toch de snelweg opgekomen." Nee NOS, dat is geen snelweg!

Die houdt al eerder op.

Why is Trump claiming a coup? - @rbreich

https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-claim-of-a-coup?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

"It’s not just that Biden did what Trump would never do — bow out for the good of the nation. It’s that Trump cannot believe Biden bowed out for the good of the nation.

The man who claims to want to “put America first” has always put himself first, and thinks everyone else in public life puts themselves first, too. Or they’re violently overthrown."

The most expensive political ad of all time

https://popular.info/p/the-most-expensive-political-ad-of

"Musk is not interviewing Trump. He is using his $44 billion purchase of Twitter to create the most expensive political ad of all time.

Musk is not a journalist and, when it comes to Trump, has no interest in being fair or accurate. Many of Musk's political posts on X — which are uniformly pro-Trump and anti-Harris — include false or misleading information. "

Elon Musk is spending millions to elect Trump. Let’s boycott his companies

"Maybe we should call it the Mump – the joining together of two rich and famous narcissists who crave attention, lie through their teeth, enjoy provoking critics, hate labor unions, refuse to be held accountable for anything and have utter contempt for democracy."

@jeffowski And this one.....

Ik greep mis in de supermarkt en had dat pas in de gaten toen ik het eerste koekje in mijn mond had. Geen fan van de sweet chili variant dus de volgende keer iets minder snel graaien.
