Just learned that the history department I got my BA from has shrunk considerably and been absorbed into a wider 'humanities' dept. There were 100 students in my first year class in 2001. Without historical analysis we are at the mercy of the plastic, hollow and blind cult of consumer capitalism.

Bitcoin was “inevitable”. It’s now a glorified casino. Ethereum was “inevitable”. It’s now a glorified casino other casinos run off. NFTs were “inevitable”. They’re all worthless jpegs now. Metaverse was “inevitable”. It’s now a bunch of VRChat clones with double digit monthly users.

I have "Fozzymandias" stuck in my head and have absolutely no idea whatsoever to do with it. "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and wokka wokka"? That's nothing. Infuriating.

I've said before, I have it as a contract point that my narrators have to be actual live humans (same with my editors, copyeditors, cover artists, etc). If you think your work can be sufficiently narrated by an "AI" then you are implicitly saying some very negative things about your work.

Brexit was the proto MAGA movement in so many ways. Pro-brexit people thought leaving the EU would restore British splendour. And, lots of people/orgs common between Trump and Brexit like Farage and Cambridge Analytica

The encampments are gone and with them the TV crews but some folks have spent the months since working overtime to criminalize every single thing about them and any possible association with them. The behind the scenes retribution and score settling would shock you.

I wonder if there is an expert with 20 years of experience in trust and safety dating back to livejournal who can say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for mods to allow a guy to openly get direct tech support from KF in order to conduct an open campaign of transphobic mass harassment.

Insurers must spend 80-85% of premiums on care by law. "But big insurers have figured out if they also become health care providers—by buying physician practices, clinics, and pharmacy benefit managers—they can meet that threshold by paying themselves and avoiding payment for their customers’ care."

Totally incensed by all the scoldy op-eds about Luigi Mangione that reprimand the (largely powerless) public for "mainstreaming" political violence when there are powerful politicians, jurists, and billionaires who are condoning violence, forced relocation programs, and corporate cruelty to workers.

This is what I’ve been saying for years. The end game has always been the GOP trying to make it functionally illegal to run any public communication space that doesn’t privilege conservative voice, and in particular the conservative “right” to engage in harassment against vulnerable peoples

Did y’all just think we would watch an entire ethnic group get genocided for a year (and gaslit about it happening) while also being gaslit about the economy (we’re being fucked by landlords, employers and retailers), and watch y’all celebrate cops and vigilantes murdering us and not get mad?

Klarna has been fined $46 million in a money laundering probe. Swedish regulators say an audit of the company found "significant deficiencies" and that it violated anti-money laundering rules. Last month Klarna filed for an initial public offering. finance.yahoo.com/video/klarna...
