From September 30, 2024:
Are we underestimating global warming? ↗︎
↳ If ‘we’ refers to the landed hegemon, yes. Many of us are worried sick about the destruction of nature and the suffering of animals and humans due to the already irreversible damage caused by ‘them’. — added 6:01am on 30/09/24 ❧
UN General Assembly 2024: Diplomats walk out in protest against Netanyahu address ↗︎
↳ Those that stayed are very telling… — added 5:30am on 30/09/24 ❧
From September 29, 2024:
Sloths on Brink of Extinction As They Struggle To Adapt to Changing World ↗︎
↳ The species loss, and death toll, of selfish humans climate change is already devastating. It’s only getting worse. — added 12:44pm on 29/09/24 ❧
Yes, Actually, Individual Responsibility Is Essential to Solving the Climate Crisis ↗︎
↳ There is something to be said here for: voting green, buying from “better” companies, educating each other, doing things locally, going to rallies, not eating meat etc. but individuals still have very little power compared to corps. — added 5:28am on 29/09/24 ❧
TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion ↗︎
↳ I wish we had better than ‘x bro’ to describe the despotic behaviour of capitalist shitheads. — added 5:22am on 29/09/24 ❧
From September 28, 2024:
Dell sales team told to return to office 5 days a week, starting Monday ↗︎
↳ Capitalists micromanaging and making workers lives miserable - they get off on it. — added 3:54pm on 28/09/24 ❧
The “power” of AI ↙︎ — posted 28/09/24, tagged as AI, education, LLMs, power use, heat death, climate change.
Today I have some off the cuff thoughts about global heat death – revisiting an early theme (actually, the earliest in this particular incarnation of dispatches)...
Google Listed as Sponsor, Host of Israeli Military Tech Conference ↗︎
↳ Inescapable genocide supporters. — added 6:55am on 28/09/24 ❧
“Y'all Cannot Actually Be This Stupid”: Ethel Cain Defends Chappell Roan's Election Stance ↗︎
↳ Roan’s take is probably one of the more enlightened celebrity takes I’ve seen, of course the American “centrists” have issues with it. They love genocide. (And would be far right anywhere else in the world) — added 5:38am on 28/09/24 ❧
Survey: 73% of Amazon workers are considering quitting after 5-day in-office mandate ↗︎
↳ Or, uh, just unionise? — added 5:15am on 28/09/24 ❧
From September 27, 2024:
Argentina’s poverty rate soars to nearly 53% in first half of 2024 ↗︎
↳ Poor people convinced by propaganda and hegemony to vote severely against their interests suffer the consequences. This is what happens when the right wins. Terrible things. — added 7:40pm on 27/09/24 ❧
Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel ↗︎
↳ There are a small handful of sane people in politics. — added 7:13pm on 27/09/24 ❧
Trump Sells $100K Gold Watches on Same Day Melania Insists People Can’t Afford Basic Necessities ↗︎
↳ If people were more awake, they’d realise this is a contradiction of capital. Trumps various mouthpieces show how exploited and enslaved we are — and he promises only more punishing chains. — added 7:09pm on 27/09/24 ❧
Lebanon ceasefire hopes fade as Netanyahu issues contradictory statements ↗︎
↳ The fact he’s even platformed at the UN is a disgrace. The ICC is an ineffectual organ, and the global imperialist project of the USA needs to burn. — added 7:06pm on 27/09/24 ❧
Israel accused of breaking global labor law by withholding Palestinian worker pay ↗︎
↳ Colonialism. It’s sick. Brutal. And deeply racist - like everyone who “stands with Israel’s” genocidal leaders - including this country’s leaders. — added 7:00pm on 27/09/24 ❧
