The "no-wash" movement is peak neoliberal performance. It's a futile, feel-good ritual that exists only to distract from the fact that systemic collapse can't be solved by individual consumer choices, absolving the actual culprits of all responsibility.
@professortom This has always been the other "duh" reality. Successful people should stay right where they are and be successful and be the rising tide for the shitty neighbors.
But smart people know better. They want to be around the other successful people.
"Half of all consumer spending is coming from the top 10 percent, and these price-insensitive customers are absorbing higher inflation. Low-income consumers, by contrast, are taking on more credit card debt, the Boston Federal Reserve reports, because they cannot keep up with rising prices"
When you factor in all the data points, we have an anxious workforce, a business sector seeking opportunity in inflation, and an avalanche of bad policy bearing down on everyone.
im in that top 10%, and my budget is getting altered very quickly. Optional fun is going away quickly. Its so odd to have struggled to get to a good place, to be mathematically ranked in a "better" economic state, and feel like homelessness and hunger are still right there behind me.
> The only area where this investment retrenchment and uncertainty is not in evidence comes from the insane capital expenditures for AI computing power, which is propping up the economy almost by itself.
@brianmerchant had a great appearance on KQED's Forum.
They discussed, among other things, that aspect of things, the potential bubble in which the US economy is being propped up by all of that capital flowing into data centers.
Meanwhile, the good people over at It Could Happen Here dive into successful efforts by #noDesertDataCenter to block an Amazon data center in #Tuscon AZ of all places.
James is joined by Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV to discuss the Project Blue data center and the coalition of people who campaigned against its construction in Tucson. Sources: http://nodesertdatacenter.com https://apnews.
“This is a good thing. The wealthy are spending a lot of money, and it’s being passed down through our economy. This is a great time for our economy, everyone is benefitting”
It’s vacuous BS of course. The only thing that trickles down from the wealthy in a trickle-down economy is the bullshit they spout to make it seem like everything is fine.
Interesting analogy of the Trumpers being hedge fund managers: buying up a great US economy, selling off the profitable parts, wringing the last dollar out of the remaining bits, and then flinging off the resulting husk for someone else to deal with.
As one of those able to absorb that inflation, I'm still pissed about it, less for myself than for the people I know who can't afford this shit.
But too many people in my socio-economic strata have never experienced being broke, let alone actually poor, and are unable to understand how much closer we are from being financially shattered than being as rich as our bosses.
Energy crisis in Iran sparks protests over crypto mining
Demonstrations have spread across Iranian towns as residents demand action over electricity cuts, water shortages, and the impact of crypto mining operations.
An unknown company is seeking zoning approvals for a 440-acre data center in St. Charles, Missouri, but it's attracted strong opposition from residents worried about their water safety and energy prices.
Yo, the White House made a list of companies you should be giving your money to if you like fascism and want them to keep kidnapping people and destroying all good in the world.
Thanks to the kind financial donation of @jonah from @triplebit, we've finally turned on our new SiFive HiFive P550 RISC-V Tor exit relay! this is our first ever non- x86-64 CPU.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the U.S. is revoking the visas of Brazilian, African and Caribbean officials over their connection to a Cuban program to send doctors overseas to provide healthcare in the Global South.
Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, has long decried the Cuba's medical missions as "forced labor." The program was established after the Cuban Revolution.
Cuba has criticized Rubio’s targeting of the program. “His priorities speak volumes: financing Israel genocide on Palestine, torturing Cuba, going after health care services for those who need them most," Cuba’s deputy director of U.S. affairs, Johana Tablada, wrote on X.
This little crusade that #DanielStenberg is on trying to name and shame car companies (or any company for that matter) for not buying or paying for support for either #curl or #libcurl is pathetic and passive aggressive.

Resident Evil 30th Anniversary Website Launches with New Art
Capcom has launched the 30th anniversary website for the Resident Evil franchise, which is currently rather bare in its depicted information. While the website is teasing an update of some variety, the sole highlight at the moment is new artwork depicting the central fan-favorite characters of the franchise, which can be viewed below: About Resident Evil [...]
The Diary of Anne Frank is among books banned from school libraries in Florida. Maybe it gets boring to repeat this over and over again, but this really is literal fascism.
Nius ist ein positives Beispiel für #TrickleDown. Ein Milliardär finanziert eine Plattform, die sich am freien Markt niemals behaupten würde. Und so können sich auch Menschen ohne viel Geld kostenlos desinformieren.
Microsoft openly admitting they have not(!) had MFA, network segmentation, least privilege, software lifecycle, jump-servers, asset- and software-inventory etc for Azure PROD for years and they are not there yet.
This whole report is just so scary. At the same time, good that they are finally working on it and making it transparent.
THE killing of seven Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza on August 10 has prompted verbal condemnations, yet has inspired little to no substantive action.
Europe frames the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza as a humanitarian crisis rather than a deliberate political choice. There will be a moral reckoning, says Shada Islam, a commentator on EU affairs

The shadow justice minister posted a photo saying it was ‘great to be with peaceful, patriotic protesters in Epping today’ - with a founder of murderous neo-Nazi group Combat 18 smiling in the background.

I haven't read the news, but did anything of substance get accomplished yesterday afternoon at the White House or was it more performative bullshit just with more people involved?
i am a bit scared that there seems to be no person online in brazil talking about how they’re moving to implement laws like the UK to force an identification to access adult content
is everyone just ok with this? to submit your ID to see damn porn?
i cite a recent notification that meta received about what i understand to be some lewd chatbots with “child appearance”
I’m surprised these exist bc essentially all platforms have these banned, but beyond that, the article says “The text mentions the absence of effective age filters to prevent people between 13 and 18 years of age from accessing inappropriate content.”
it’s worse even because these are on the same article, you focus on the damn loli bot and go past the other part
i am unsure what these chatbots are, and what the motivation (even if only apparent) is i think their logic is that because these bots can have some childish language, they could speak to kids about these topics or something, I tried to read this like three times and i still don’t get it

Mastapéro jeudi soir ? Pour le lieu, ça sera vers Bastille, mais le point de rdv précis n'est pas encore déterminé. Le point de rendez-vous originellement choisi n'est pas hyper accessible.
Indeed. Sunil is an amazing guy! "“The solution is to amend the law and make sex work legal,” Pant said. If sex work was legalised, he said, sex workers could earn income more safely by working out of their homes or rented rooms, rather than on the street."
As they often find themselves in confrontation with police officers, clients, and fellow sex workers, LGBTIQ advocates call for legalisation of sex work.
It's been a busy couple of week in Nintendo presentation land. First we had that third-party-focused partner showcase, then it was the turn of the indies, leaving everyone to speculate that a proper Direct showcase much surely be on the well. And, well, sort of. What we're actually getting is a 45-minute Direct apparently focused on Switch 2's upcoming Kirby Air Riders - and if ...
Just had the most fucking embarrassing thing happen, so I for some reason (as in accidentally) years back had pictures saved to my families Amazon cloud, and for some fucking reason my dad's Amazon Fire Stick started popping up with these various images as a screensaver instead of the default ones, now I pretty quickly figured this out when I looked into his room and saw the Epicurean Paradox on his TV and and fixed it for him what comes up in the background while I'm working on the settings it but the second image here I had saved years back, thankfully he didn't see it I think but man that was embarrassing lol
EDIT: I think I had the Amazon pictures app installed on my Ipad at the time look at some photos I had saved from my old Kindle Fire, and it backed them up, that's why they were saved on there lol.
