Nice, I’ll add that to the list. Being anti-genocide makes you

1. Antisemitic

2. A tankie

(not sure you guys know what either of those mean anymore tbh the way you apply it to everything lol)

Why, did Orangeboi send more money and munitions than Biden or something?

ICE is gonna get their shit rocked in Portland.

Joe Biden would have never supported a genocied.

owing to a slight miss on revenue

Nope, try again.

spending surged 66% to $37.5 billion in the latest quarter … approximately 45% of the company’s $625 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a key measure of future cloud contracts—is tied directly to OpenAI

Ding ding ding! That’s right, OpenAI, the company where being profitable is a physical and mathematical impossibility!

All your data are belong to us.

They tried their best :(

We could have started tackling this a decade ago had it not been for the Democratic Party.

An Australian app, so you can say “Epstein” on this one but still not “stop the genocide and colonisation of Palestine”. At least the hate speech manager (for now) isn’t an ex-IDF Zionist and the platform (for now) is not expressly pro-Israel / pro-genocide.

Indeed! Castro famously opted for a moral vest over kevlar when visiting the US.

Makes sense, X always boosts racists.

Anti-genocide = anti-racist

Pro-Israel = racist

No no, it is:

Increased electricity demand has already been on the rise because of the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers in the U.S., which consume large quantities of energy and have affected residential energy bills.

The storm seems like pretense though bc the article says bills will go up for 6 months to a year even if the cold snap is just for a week, so it seems like people are being primed to pay higher prices this fall for a cold snap in January, when the real reason for constantly rising costs is AI data centers.

Great post and I really enjoyed the replies. Mine is of Chavez visiting Castro in 2006 in Havanna, as Castro was dying of cancer. Both men were imprisoned for a failed coup but later rose to power (Chavez democratically and Castro by revolutionary liberation of the country), and both men died in a hospital bed in their respective countries in 2013.

As this is a cultural artifact I’m sure there are many ways of interpreting it, but I thought tankies were the people who think it’s right to suppress imperial-backed anti-democratic coups by any means necessary, and that it originated from the events of the Hungarian Revolution.

Don’t forget napalm and defoliants.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennet describing how they manipulate information on Wikipedia.

This topic has come up a lot (not least from Cory Doctorow). The fact that the rich are both so fragile and so un-creative is why they love AI, especially the sycophantic variants. They can’t handle someone saying no to them or, apparently, an accurate description of the past that isn’t completely flattering to them. Let them work in food services, lol.

Strikes don’t end until demands are met.

They usually end when Democrats fold, like the rail strike of 2022 or the more recent government shutdown. The demands don’t get met.

This is an argument for community run fiber, not for Musk.

Are people going to start listening to their “paranoid” nephews yet?
