Once I watched an interview from many decades ago where a civilised person asked a Kalahari Bushman about his society. One questions was: 'Do you have Chiefs?'. The man became quiet for a while to absorb the concept of 'Chief'. Then he said: 'We have many, many chiefs. In fact, Everyone is Chief of themselves'.

More than 20 accusers of Jeffrey Epstein testified in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday in what Judge Richard Berman called both "a matter of law" and "a measure of respect for the victims."
16 women emotionally recounted their experiences being allegedly sexually abused and, for some, being raped by Epstein when they were underage girls, many over a period of several months or years. An additional seven testimonies were read via statements presented by their lawyers or legal counsel.
Before the accusers spoke, Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey motioned to dismiss the indictment served to the now-deceased Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy, and Epstein's lawyers argued that the circumstances surrounding his death should be investigated in court.
Protesters across the United States targeted Palantir Monday in a day of action focused on the technology company’s work with ICE, facilitating President Trump’s expanding immigration crackdown, and work with the Israeli military.
""Early Tuesday morning, federal authorities and the Spokane Police executed arrest warrants on at least nine Spokanites who were part of the June 11 protest at Spokane’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office.Archer’s arrest represents a real escalation by the US government to pursue federal charges against someone who had no local charges pressed. It’s not clear what charges they are be"

Interesting, that Typhoid Mary desert. I hadn't heard that she made deadly ice cream. Just that she refused to cook for people. Even after the NY health Dept. told her to stop.
It was better pay cooking, than maid work. Eventually they sent her to a NY island (N. Brothers) to live in isolation.
They probably could have just removed her appendix. Where the Typhoid germ was harbored. A lot of germs stay safe there.
@Max_Imum I screwed up a sentence there. It should read... She refused to stop cooking for people. Even after the health Dept. diagnosed her as a disease carrier.
She just went to work for another family, and then back to cooking for them. I guess her famed dessert then took more lives.
The social media company likewise tracked when #adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."
""Federal agents on Tuesday morning arrested and searched the homes of multiple people who took part in a June 11 mass protest against immigration enforcement in Spokane.Among those arrested is former Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart, who was indicted by a federal grand jury and is expected to be charged with conspiracy to interfere with law enforcement, according to local attorney Jeffr"

Here's notes on why, and how to manage them, and how to get my work elsewhere if you don't want to follow me here (in open licensed formats that you can republish in still more ways if that pleases you better):
Yes, my apologies if this came across as a jab at you. That wasn't my intent at all.
I just thought it was funny because I'm absolutely positive I've done this cycle at least once in my life... if not many more. I read all of your long threads every time I see them (inevitably when someone RTs the first post), and I love them. Then I realize I'm not following you directly, and that seems silly because I love your content. Then I get blasted, remember why I didn't follow directly, and unfollow.
Some time later, the cycle inevitably repeats... and I feel obligated to make fun of myself for repeating it.
"Google needs to keep up the story that it is growing. Once Google stops growing, it becames a "mature" company and its PE ratio will fall from 20:1 to something more like 4:1, meaning an 80% collapse in the company's share price..." - @pluralistic
Not to be the I said so guy, but it's near a decade ago that I first started muttering about maybe not calling Google a startup anymore - which is essentially & rather insanely what they're still doing.
How do you continue growing when the majority of the world's population already uses your products? Magically inventing more customers (at least, faster than the birth date) is not going to happen.
#OtD 15 Jul 1927 a mass strike broke out in Vienna, Austria after the acquittal of right-wing paramilitaries who killed a man and a child. Workers set fire to the Ministry of Justice and then were attacked by police. 89 were killed, some 600 injured stories.workingclasshistory.co…
@Murray_N You know what's worse than hearing someone lock their brakes up behind you? Being on your phone with your hands off the controls while someone locks their brakes up behind you.
I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.
Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.
But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.
The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.
Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊
@pre @ajn142 Yep. And valid perhaps eight years ago when I was still also posting on Twitter (mostly to raise awareness of Mastodon and help move people over). Not so much once the place becomes an actual Nazi bar. Also, if you haven’t, read my post. This goes deeper than that.
Oh wow, that's awful. Being called uncomradly by the people you care for. Sorry you saw yourself forced to leave. 😔
In 2017, I hadn't even heard of Mastodon yet. But in 2025 not being in the Fediverse? Heck, in 2023 not being in the Fediverse (and that's still generous)?

Exactly. Men in women's sports is a total circus, but Thomas is a straight up cheater.
The fraud is so obvious. He's a straight male who is taking hormones to lower his testosterone, so he can compete with women. There is no ambiguity there.

if you read between the lines, elon stated the intended goal of his party. he said he will target "10 house seats, and 5 senate seats". is that enough to lower federal deficits? of course not. is that enough to screw our razor thin margins in the house and senate and hand the dems congress? yep. That is his intended goal and we need to plan accordingly.
imo, he cozied up to trump because anybody with an IQ above 12 can see that he was gonna beat biden/cumala. he hoped he can get a exemption for his companies when it came to the EV mandates for his support. now that the plan backfired, he's trying to slither back in to the dimms good graces.

There's a lot to unpack from the book, but what's really sitting with me right now is Wynn-Williams' insider perspective on what happened with Facebook in Myanmar. 🧵
It was both unsurprising and utterly gutting, as somebody who has been working on social media misinformation research in under-resourced languages for a few years now. (Note that "under-resourced languages", in the context of social media content moderation, refers to all but a small handful of languages)
It was unsurprising because we have seen this play out again and again: horrifying atrocities happening that can be traced directly back to the unchecked spread of misinformation and hate speech.
& this isn't just letting the stray oblique racist comment slide, either— this is stuff like major influential figures calling for violence, it's massive troll farms laying the groundwork for ethnic cleansing and operating with impunity. As one colleague of mine puts it, "Facebook is just like 4chan".
Well, I went a purchased the $229 bluetoth cooking probes. Before you all jump on me for this, during Prime Days it was reduced to $169, and I had $200 in Amazon gift cards from a credit card I was about to cancel. Might as well spend those rewards on something you normally wouldn't buy.
