Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming, study finds
↗︎
↳ This is only getting extremely worse — and if you’re not a billionaire, help isn’t coming either. We need to change this exploitative system, now! — -
These car brands are collecting and sharing your data with third parties
↗︎
↳ The mass data collection being done by all kinds of technology is a veritable goldmine for corporate AI training which has essentially strip mined the internet — and is now looking for infinitely more personal information about your life. Apple’s deeply integrated anti-private AI is a prime example starting in iOS 18.1. — -
Google threatened with being broken up by US
↗︎
↳ I know it wouldn’t be the same laws, but could you do Meta, please? One evil mega corp controlling every (social) media outlet is a terrible monopoly — not to mention easy hegemony. — -
Scientists Simulate Alien Civilizations, Find They Keep Dying From Climate Change
↗︎
↳ Hilariously these scientists assumed that the civilisations would similarly to us seek infinite growth at the altar of capitalism. Y’all need a Marxist for your alien experiments. — - From October 9, 2024:

Israel’s wars are now out of control — and its defenders hysterical

Australian universities tumble in world rankings as some record worst result ever
↗︎
↳ Funny what happens when a government is completely hostile to any form of education amongst the citizenry. — -
‘Death sentence’: Asbestos released by Israel’s bombs will kill for decades

We’re not listening, but the oligarchs are signalling the next phase of climate denialism...
-
Former Google CEO says climate goals are not meetable, so we might as well drop climate conservation — unshackle AI companies so AI can solve global warming
↗︎
↳ Sharing this again from a different source just to soak in how fucked up the hegemony is — make no mistake the billionaires do not care about our inevitable heat death and look only to accelerationism to fuck us harder. — -
Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes
↗︎
↳ Surveillance capitalism strikes regularly. — -
Earth’s ‘vital signs’ show humanity’s future in balance, say climate experts
↗︎
↳ I don’t know about you, but constantly elevating Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Anthony Albanese, Donald Trump, and other psychopathic oligarchs’ bank balance isn’t how the planet deserves to go. We need action. — - From October 8, 2024:
