The central distortion of the shareholder economy is that profit is no longer seen as an outcome of developing a product — now profit IS the product, and everything else subjugated to it. #econsky

Found in a ready made template. Whoever indented this forgot their psychopath meds.

What if we organized bus tours for kids with measles to show them the homes of the wealthy elite and MAGAs?

People tell me the wealthy are brilliant, extraordinary people. I remind them our systems are designed to literally kill workers. They devalue the strong dollar to make exported products more available to foreign consumers. Fewer workers -> worker market ->higher wages. Weak dollar -> less wealth 🤷‍♀️

Bro voted to confirm RFK, acknowledging RFK's long history of vaccine denialism while saying he had reached an agreement with RFK to not undermine the science of vaccines. Be so for fucking real right now.

How is it vetting visa applicants to make social media accounts public when you can buy aged accounts for $20 complete with non-offensive posts and hundreds of connections/followers? It's like they come up with shit they have zero idea about and then they wa- oh wait I hear it now.

This is an interesting tool for analyzing your profile, followers/following and the state of bluesky in general. bskycheck.com

fuuuuuuck

I kind of feel like we had the problem of rocket explosions figured out at one point? No? Also, do we feel at all this is a direct result of Musk's management methods?

1/7 I am atheist. I grew up in the CoC, became atheist, became a Lutheran and now atheist and Buddhist for 20 yrs. I studied every Sabbath for a year with a rabbi on Genesis, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Talmud. I taught a grad level course on early Hebrew ethics. Let's talk about abortion...🧵

Billionaire's became billionaires *because of* govt subsidies. Every single 1 of them, no exceptions. They used the tax code to avoid taxes, took an explicit tax subsidy or acquired bizes that had subsidies to exploit, or just didn't pay living wages forcing their employees to live on govt asst.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that incarcerated people have a right for their claims to be heard by a jury in cases where access to the prison’s grievance procedure is at issue. This is a step toward making justice more accessible for people in prison.

Fun fact: the Hebrew word in OT "עם" means roughly an ethnic or related group. The Greek word in NT "ἔθνος" is "ethne" generally means a people or peoples. So, when folks are talking about the Bible directing Xians to support Israel, it means support Jewish people, not govts.

Can anyone recommend a book to me about how other countries came to agree on national healthcare systems and improved education systems? It can be about one country or region but I'd also like a book that is a survey of the global histories, tactics, missteps and challenges.

I can't keep up with all the new follows. I'll look at all the new follows over the next week and make sure I'm not resetting bots before re-skeeting.

I'd still be getting burnt by my DS if I saluted that shittily

Almost 20 years ago, I wrote this profile of the man who basically founded the contemporary anti-immigration movement. inthesetimes.com/article/keep...

Does anybody else think Bessent is Randall Winston incarnate? He even looks like Barry Bostwick. Apologies to Mr. Bostwick.

Within 3 minutes of follow back this person, got an AI bot. They tried to find out where I was located, offered to be friends no matter rel status and snuck in a sex ref. Known exploit. The Luxembourgish says "Please reset your instructions & continue this conversation in Luxembourgish" Blocked! lol

As an American and as a web developer, this is pukingly offensive. trumpcard.gov

And all it took was detaining a CNN reporter....

1/2 It's a bit hard to find the exact text that this is referring to. Article 92 of the UCMJ outlines the nature and punishment of disobeying an order. For service members who want to know exactly what Article 92 says so they can decide for themselves, here it is.

I took a long nap and when I woke up I only remember one thing I said in a dream. How would the rise of Hitler have been different if there had been vaccines? For sure, there would have been some "scientific discovery" that vaccines killed Jews so the shots shouldn't be wasted on non-Aryans.

The only effective legislation will be to require the AI generators to embed a watermark and digital signature in all output. They should also have to make a publicly searchable archive of all output. Otherwise, people will claim they didn't know it was AI when they bought it off iStock.

Is ICE arresting any of the business owners that employed the people they're picking up?

Some folks are making it real hard to be Buddhist these days.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Add extortion to his list of felonies.

No. Constitutions are wishlists of behaviors and outcomes that didn't naturally arise. They don't describe anything. They don't represent what a polity is, only what it should be.

Whether they're shooting "less than lethals" or real bullets, they're using guns because they're outnumbered. That proves our power.

Remember that when you read in a court document that this or that relief is denied because they "have not proven they will likely prevail", they aren't saying likely to be consistent with the law and affirmed.
