Her Worship

Is that a real title or sarcasm? It's hard to tell when the state regularly uses these kind of absurd clown titles (eg. her honor).

Cars (like any technology under capitalism) are meant to keep people dependent, desperate, and exploitable.

These millionaire homeowners, who could not persuade Charlottesville residents and could not win at the ballot box, decided they would throw everything they had to nullify their defeat. And it worked 😠

The usual tale of how the state violently serves capital.

You're over complicating this shit.

Weight loss is primarily just calories burned minus calories eaten...

(times some factor, plus/minus some constant, ignoring higher order terms, excluding exogenous variables, etc.)

Harris, who is also pretty moderate

Pretty moderate by imperial standards. Absolute fascist by objective measurement.

I doubt that moderate Democrats are especially upset at the moment.

Ofc most dems are not upset. They're completely fine with 99% of Trump's fascism. That's why we're here.

The second problem is that the US electoral system always stabilizes around two big-tent parties.

AKA it's an excellent system for violent control but a terrible joke of a "democracy".

It’s not clear to me that introducing a new party solves problems here.

They're not trying to solve problems that we care about. They're trying to maintain their control. That's the "problem" here.

If it's working, they'll get rid of it sooner or later.

If your grandma can handle torrenting over VPN, then she can probably handle Jellyfin.

 

Spotify, the world’s leading music streaming platform, is facing intense criticism and boycott calls following CEO Daniel Ek’s announcement of a €600m ($702m) investment in Helsing, a German defence startup specialising in AI-powered combat drones and military software.

The move, announced on 17 June, has sparked widespread outrage from musicians, activists and social media users who accuse Ek of funnelling profits from music streaming into the military industry.

Many have started calling on users to cancel their subscriptions to the service.

“Finally cancelling my Spotify subscription – why am I paying for a fuckass app that works worse than it did 10 years ago, while their CEO spends all my money on technofascist military fantasies?” said one user on X.

 

When I started working on this video about Palantir, I didn’t expect that it would make me want to have a panic attack. Then again, maybe panic is the appropriate response to learning that an artificial intelligence and surveillance company is actively collecting data on every American citizen in order to establish a technological dystopia.

 

An industry-backed researcher who has forged a career sowing doubt about the dangers of pollutants is attempting to use artificial intelligence (AI) to amplify his perspective.

Louis Anthony “Tony” Cox Jr, a Denver-based risk analyst and former Trump adviser who once reportedly claimed there is no proof that cleaning air saves lives, is developing an AI application to scan academic research for what he sees as the false conflation of correlation with causation.

 

Advocates call the CTC a rubber stamp for highway widening. The body didn't do anything to dispel that notion yesterday.

PhD programmes need to better prepare students for careers outside universities, researchers warn.

I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

  • Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
  • Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
  • Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

 

Dr James Smith, an emergency physician, describes the aid situation in Gaza, where the Israeli military is killing people every day as they seek aid from US-backed distribution sites.

 

Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters at the summit in the Hague that President Donald Trump was like a "daddy" intervening in a schoolyard fight.
