I would love to see almost any tech panel moderated by @pluralistic and Ed Zitron. Both are calling out the trash of our current phase of tech and I love it
Ed and I will be doing a presentation as part of the book tour for Enshittification on Oct 22 at the Seattle Public Library, as part of a lecture series presented by the Clarion West sf/f writers workshop. I believe it will be recorded and posted after.
Hundreds of people turned out Saturday afternoon, protesting near the now-closed federal women's prison in Dublin where some fear it may become an ICE detention center.
At a tense EBU meeting in London no vote was held on Israel’s expulsion from Eurovision, offering a temporary victory—despite mounting pressure from countries like Iceland and Slovenia and warnings about future participation
Do you remember the movie "Multiplicity?" Where each clone you make of someone is a little more retarded than the previous clone? Where they just keep getting dumber and dumber.? Hakeem Jeffries looks like a 5th Generation Obama clone. lol

Today when about to start one of the shows on my stage at this festival, an intern who looked like she must still be in high school full out dropped and busted one of the cameras another team was supposed to be recording with. She was clearly horrified and on the verge of tears but luckily her supervisor was very chill about it basically saying "ya live and ya learn!" I think that's great because that's exactly what I was thinking but I also know that if I were 17 I'd be thinking my life was over. 😅
Trump did this in his first term, kicked everyone off welfare. What was the result? All those losers had to go get jobs. And what was Trump's response? He bragged about lowering black and hispanic unemployment.
Sure it can. But the question is, can it do that powering the enrichment and reprocessing infrastructure with windmills while making sure a sea turtle doesn poke it's eye out with a plastic straw? 🤔
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the on-and-off Russian nuclear threats, scholars have been analyzing Europe's defense capabilities against Moscow's huge nuclear warhead fleet.
@nanook UK doesn't count since they don't have their own delivery system and they left the EU. The french are, you know, the french. Also, they have only, like, 290 warheads against Russia's 5000+. It's literally like showing up with a vagina to a dick measuring contest ;)
@pat The question wasn't, "Can European Union Build It's Own Atomic Arsenal", it was, "Can Europe Build Its Own Atomic Arsenal", and the question of delivery systems also wasn't there either, though I would argue it's easier to develop a delivery system than the weapons themselves, the massive conventional missile response from Iran demonstrates that.
@nanook you are right. But that's yet another issue there. Many countries in Europe feel kinda uncomfortable relying on the likes of the french and/or the Brits for nuclear deterrence. Technically, it's all NATO, well, almost all, but Eastern European countries kinda have bad memories of relying on allies when shit really hits the fan.
@pat I feel uncomfortable with their existence at all. It only takes one whack job and ww III here we are and an hour later the species is extinct, and we've had a succession of whack jobs here.
@nanook i feel ya. Unfortunately tho that shop has sailed a long time ago. But on the bright side, the risk is somewhat exaggerated. There's not enough nukes to make humanity extinct. Not by a long shot. Civilization would probably go the way of the dodos, and we'd go back to the stone age, sure, but extinction? C'mon ;)
@pat There are enough nukes that would lead to at the very least the entire collapse of civilization. Keep in mind the average H-bomb is between 100kt and 10mt though over 50mt bombs have been exploded. This makes Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a fire cracker, and the Russians have 5000 or so, not sure what our current count is, and it's hard to say how accurate either is, but suffice it to say it would not be good for humanity. There is the nuclear winter theory, it's hard to know exactly how much dust would be churned into the upper atmosphere for how long, there is just how large of an area would be rendered uninhabitable after the explosion of all arsenals. These are all things that speculating on in detail is somewhat fruitless and there are some scientific experiments that are better left untried.
I'm not convinced. The earth is massive, there are a lot of people living in mountains who will never really be affected by anything. They're going to keep reproducing and keep teaching their kids how to read and write. What's really at risk is long and complex supply chains - especially those which depend on esoteric knowledge, like chip fabs. That said, there's a pretty good chance of those surviving as well, because while it is esoteric, it's also going to be the second thing every remaining country thinks of, after "food, water, shelter"...
@cjd @nanook yeah, I mean it sure wouldn't be easy and average lifespan would go down to like 20, maybe 30 years, but we'll definitely recover eventually. And considering that practicality every human society in recorded history developed some form of written language within like 1000 years sinc domestication of plants and animals became a thing, I'm not very concerned there with. We are way more resilient bunch than most of us realize.
@cjd @nanook might actually be a good thing when you think about it. Perhaps if we restart the civilization from scratch, we'll know how many genders there are this time around 😂😂😂😂
Demographic effects of a nuclear war is something I've seen mentioned before. The fact that high trust people tend to self-segregate to rural areas where they won't deal with low-trust people is relevant to what a post-apocalyptic world might look like.
@cjd @nanook oh absolutely. The high-trust city folk will be wiped out, that's fosho. After all, when you hit the big red button you target the population centers. Seems kinda obvious. I'll prolly be relatively good, at least for a while. Have a chunk of strategically insignificant land in the shithole of the Philippines. Even made friends with the local tribesmen and their shaman. We can start repopulating right there lol
@pat @Caleb James DeLisle In another half billion years our Sun will have expanded to the point where it boils all the oceans off and fries any remaining life. So my take is we had better develop interplanetary and even intersolar ability soon or assuming somehow we don't kill ourselves off sooner surely we and all other life here will disappear then. It's a bit depressing to me that we haven't discovered intelligent life elsewhere because I'm not sure it exists here.
@pat Based upon present day genetic variety, and I know visually it appears there is a lot but really it's very little for a species of our complexity, it is estimated that between 900,000 to 800,000 years ago there were fewer than 1000 individuals world-wide and that condition persisted for 100,000 years, so yea we "survived" but by a hair, and now are genetic diversity is reduced to the point where our ability survive something of similar severity would be doubtful.
Business is really booming for me right now. 👀 I keep half joking about needing to find a real job at some point but it has kind of hit me that somehow all these not real jobs have become a vocation of sorts because people will ask me an obvious question about... whatever it is... and I'll think "how could they not know this?" then I realize "oh I'm only thinking this because I've been doing this for ten years and this is their first time."
@GalacticTurtleBeing able to cut it as a freelancer is a big accomplishment. I know at 10 people who tried production jobs in the movies, and only one who made it pay off.
@LostInCaliforniaOh wow I did not think of it that way! If I were the tattoo type, I'd get a tally mark for each tour and let people assume it stood for the number of people I've killed. XD
Der Tögel ist doch genauso wie der Ganser oder die Guerot eine dieser gefallenen Mädchen der Publizistik, welche zu viel Quatsch erzählt haben und daher keine richtigen Jobs mehr bekommen und die sich um ihre Miete weiter bezahlen zu können auch noch dem allerletzten AfD Nazipack hinter der nächsten Mülltonne hingeben müßen. Für Geld. Was für ein trauriges Schicksal.
Das beschreibt exakt das Geschäftsmodel von Ganser, Guerot und ihren ganzen anderen Strolch Freunden. Wenn du meinst, das sei anders, erkläre das bitte. PS Du kannst lachen? Aber nicht echt? Oder?
PPPS Bei einem rechtsradikalen Kinderschänder ist der auch schon aufgetreten. Der Ganser. Aber das stört dich wohl weniger. Du hasst ja Jugendliche. Von daher dürftest du für Kinder auch nicht so viel übrig haben. Auf jeden Fall nicht für echte Kinder. Die sich nun einmal anders benehmen, als es deinen Propaganda Broschüren steht.
Der Ganser hat Kinder, schlägt diese nicht und ist verdammt guter Historiker , der sich nicht vor bestimmten Themen drückt. Hier geht es aber um Tögel und alles was er hier sagt ist belegt.
Ich habe geschrieben, daß Ganser auf dem Kongress eines Kinderschänders aufgetreten ist. PS Ob der Ganser seine Kinder schlägt oder nicht wissen wir nicht. Auf jeden Fall hat er keine Berührungsängste zu brutalen rechtsradikalen Kinderschändern.

Corporations that publicly endorsed Trump's megabill. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

The worst part about living through livestreamed genocide, is how it pervades everything I touch. The general BDS stuff is of course there.
But it is the other things, like watching what should be normally a wholesome father-daughter anime Kakushigoto becomes tinge with sadness that many many many fathers and daughters will never see each other again.
Comedy romcom anime? Can't have that if you are being ethnically cleanse.
Sports anime? How many fucking times do I have to read about a Palestinian football player getting their limbs blown off?

BERLIN. Der bekannte Staatsrechtler Dietrich Murswiek hat deutliche Kritik an dem Vorhaben geäußert, noch mit Hilfe des alten Bundestages neue #Schuldenregeln im Grundgesetz zu verankern. „Was die Spitzenpolitiker der Unionsparteien jetzt mit den SPD-Sondierern verabredet haben, ist ein strategischer #Mißbrauch der dem alten #Bundestag in der Übergangszeit noch zustehenden Kompetenzen“, schreibt Murswiek in einem juristischen Essay für Tichys Einblick.

@cobalt123 I'm watching from afare and each day worrying about one of our sons and family living in the USA after "winning" a green card some years ago. They have two little girls. Since February they do not dare any more visiting family in Canada what they used to do for every holiday. Now they don't want to get close to the border. Our son goes to work every day, of course. I'm afraid. No matter the exact color of their skin, they are muslim, with arab names, so ...
Ah - sorry, I was not even thinking of the 4th July - I was writing about our own muslim holidays this year when brothers and sisters had to celebrate alone because of the political situation. And those are real family holidays, it was so sad for the children. @cobalt123
@GRA3432 @cobalt123 My brother and I haven't celebrated holidays since our mom passed in 2002. Neither of us have kids nor significant others. Just another day for us. I celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That's it.

I know what "spoonie" means but I don't use the term for myself.
One reason is I don't think it describes the issue of post-exertional malaise (PEM) in ME/CFS very well. So it doesn't fit my situation.
Another reason is that some folks without any disability use the term "spoons" as a generic term for whether they have mental or physial energy to do an activity.

Fascism will not be beaten with joy. Fascism will not be beaten by voting. Fascism will not be beaten by Democrats, or bipartisanship, or the courts, or any other state institution.
Fascism will be beaten by the construction of dual power, underground organization, and the use of violence when necessary to resist fascist assaults.
All of the hashtag resistance, "feel joy while folks are being dragged away" people just don't fucking get it. They do not have any family who lived under fascism, or any real understanding of the severity that the fascist menace poses to humanity. They see it as a game.
Analysis: Big Tech & other companies are using the Israeli genocide in Gaza to expand their move into military markets providing AI & cloud-computing services for military purposes.
Microsoft, Alphabet – Google’s parent company – & Amazon have granted Israel “virtually government-wide access to their cloud & AI technologies”, hence enhancing its data processing & surveillance capacities.
