Oh shit... Elon's salute is from the Apartheid Boeremag group. That makes too much sense... Of course it's a South African terrorist org...

There's no way it was just the car. The car has to be a symbol of much greater dysfunction. The fact he basically chose the car over his wife is insane. Haha

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

There's a weirdo from the Nazi site who got recorded harassing kids who made fun of his truck. It was wild. There were people on that hellsite that were pumping him up for it... Sigh

I hate that we've allowed ourselves to get to this point. There is so much about this that makes me sick to my stomach. The promise of the country seeking to better itself and move on from it's ugly past seems like something out of a propaganda nightmare I was taught as a youth...

There are an insane amount in Salt Lake City. Tesla's became a status symbol here but also we have an ugly undercurrent of white Christian nationalism.

Woke up in the middle of the night. I think I was having a dream that felt like a premonition. Weird.

They're burying the lead... AI is not a good teacher.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Trump is escalating the neocolonial US war on Venezuela:

Trump admitted he authorized the CIA to carry out covert attacks inside Venezuela.

The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in boats in extrajudicial executions. Trump said he is now considering attacks on "land".

People talk about an AI crash as if the internet ceased to exist after the DotCom crash.

ellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 1d

another thing people don't realize when they fantasize about "the AI crash" is that you're going to see a *lot* more slop and harmful use of AI whenever the big companies do crash, because the crash would drop GPU prices drastically & make cybercriminals etc. training models much, much cheaper

The only question to me is if the ruling is written in such a way that this happens in 2026, 2028, or after the 2030 Census. The "solid South" is back, just with the color swapped.
