Voters Chose to Protect Abortion Even When They Didn't Choose Kamala Harris ↗︎
↳ The same people who voted for abortion protections also voted for trump. The cognitive dissonance is insane. There will be absolutely no healthcare under trump — except for the mega rich. — added 6:33am on 08/11/24 ❧
Trump’s victory adds record $64bn to wealth of richest top 10 ↗︎
↳ This is all they ever mean when they say “fix the economy”. They mean take your value and hand more of it to musk and co — you lose more so 10 fucked people may win a little more. — added 4:51am on 08/11/24 ❧

Do not ask what Trumpism means for the rest of the world. Trumpism is already here. ↗︎
↳ Prescient analysis. — added 7:15pm on 07/11/24 ❧
Malaysia’s new data centers create thousands of jobs — and worries about power and water shortages ↗︎
↳ Between AI’s accelerating global heat death and Donald‘s World War III were toast. — added 6:14am on 07/11/24 ❧
Israeli government celebrates Trump's election triumph ↗︎
↳ If the insane amount of evidence hadn’t already convinced you this state is evil, look no further than their celebration of the installation of another fascist dictator. — added 2:02am on 07/11/24 ❧
Billionaires started a class war. Americans must fight back. ↗︎
↳ Instead they elected a fascist dictator interested only in capital accumulation and billionaire’s interests (who straight up told them he was a fascist dictator). — added 2:01am on 07/11/24 ❧
South Korea fines Meta $15 million for illegally collecting information on Facebook users ↗︎
↳ Now go again, for active promulgation of disinformation driving right wing extremism, but make it billions. — added 1:58am on 07/11/24 ❧

“For the economic policies”: the reason you may no longer have any rights ↙︎ — posted 06/11/24, tagged as the economy, end of the world, capitalism, trump, liberal party, death.
I accidentally engaged with some US election coverage in the last 24 hours. Amidst flitting between various streaming services, noticing how absolutely appalling US news actually is – dripping with hegemony, the one resounding quote that has stuck in my brain like a shard of glass is: “people voted for Donald Trump this election because above all else, rights issues notwithstanding, they knew the economy was more important”. I mean what an absolutely ratshit interpretation of the platform Trump was running on. Results be damned, there is absolutely nothing in the republican party that signals “good economic management” rather, they run the economy into the ground, punish working folks, destroy the environment, and revoke liberal rights through overactive and deeply “involved” government. I don’t even FEEL like doing analysis today, but let’s go anyway: The media’s portrayal of *the economy* as both a natural phenomenon a...
Netflix Bullish on Gen AI for Games After Laying Off Human Game Developers ↗︎
↳ Still don’t believe that the corpos think AI can replace your job? They’re literally replacing highly trained specialists. — added 6:47pm on 06/11/24 ❧
Trump warns voters that his second term would get ‘nasty’ at times ↗︎
↳ Yeah I think the Americans have the world’s most severe case of collective masochism, which spills out onto the rest of the world as punishment too. Minorities, the marginalised and women will suffer for the decisions made in America given it appears Trump will win, and he communicated it plainly in advance. — added 5:58pm on 06/11/24 ❧
Perplexity CEO offers AI company’s services to replace striking NYT staff ↗︎
↳ The future tech bros want. Fuck this scab and their shitty valueless company. Yuck. — added 6:12am on 06/11/24 ❧
How are racehorses really treated in the ‘sport of kings’? ↗︎
↳ Any “sport” involving animals is fundamentally predicated on torture and exploitation. The same way capitalists torture workers. But animals cannot collectively organise and so conditions never improve. We need an end to inhumane animal treatment and sport and gambling based on their exploitation… like, yesterday. — added 5:46am on 06/11/24 ❧
Striking New York Times tech workers ask people not to play Wordle or other NYT games ↗︎
↳ No one should access anything the NYT, a imperialist afactual genocide supporting rag, publishes at all. But, if you must, at least don’t cross the picket line. — added 2:04am on 06/11/24 ❧

The average age of U.S. homebuyers jumps to 56—homes are ‘wildly unaffordable’ for young people ↗︎
↳ No way. Fake market designed to exploit and ensure wage slavery, leveraged almost exclusively by the extremely wealthy to get richer, is completely unaffordable to regular folks? — added 1:13pm on 05/11/24 ❧
US Space Force warns of “mind-boggling” build-up of Chinese capabilities ↗︎
↳ Warmongering. And Ars and FT are utterly complicit in it — this is nothing more than drumming up fear to validate military spending instead of, say, healthcare, climate action, and world peace. — added 6:50am on 05/11/24 ❧
