My favorite new TikTok trend is all the Chinese vendors pulling back the curtain on luxury brands and selling direct to American consumers.

Not sure how this is legally meaningfully different than the CIA's extraordinary rendition policies.

This MAGA state senate who is "not an anti vaxxer" apparently thinks measles and chicken pox are the same thing. Cuz pox parties were for chicken pox. I also did that and it's cuz the vaccine didn't exist yet and it was better to get it as a kid than as an adult.

Three works of art in this picture. Two painted. One, photobombing.

Not remotely sorry.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

This is the point of the neoliberal supply chain. Its a massive NIMBY project offshoring the ugly and gross industrial stuff.

Luna demanded to go inside the moment it got over 60 degrees. She plopped herself down right in front of the/(her) fan and grumped at me to turn it on and has not moved from in front of it for hours. When I turned it off she started huffing at me so I turned it back on within 30 secs.

In a digital society of zero marginal cost replication, the only theory of value that works is Marx's labor theory of value. Otherwise information creators, whether that's programmers or artists, don't earn enough to survive while their products earn millions. Especially as AI becomes commonplace.

www.politico.com/news/magazin... I'm a materialist. Imo, it is no accident that conservative populism has become popular at this moment in time. It is easily explicable by the West's dominance being threatened by China's rise and subsequent locking down of what it still has while it can.

Marx's Fragment on Machines. A lesser known work that was ignored because it was too ahead of its time. Very relevant to an information economy.

I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997. Authorities gave me no explanation for this cruel and upsetting blow. I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador.

Omg, I didn't even think about that side of this. By doing all SSA communications on Twitter, it will forcibly expose old people to the very insane and one-sided bullshit propaganda on there now. Its like making them watch Fox News in order to get contact the SSA. This is even worse than I imagined.
