Crypto bros have come up with a “new” idea: buying tiny chunks of real-estate on the blockchain. The problem is that it’s the same as every other related property security – just wrapped in buzzwords to avoid regulation. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: trib.al/JCqU9WS

Crypto Bros Want to Create Micro Landlords

Crypto executives are selling investors fractions of buildings in yet another scheme to reinvent an existing activity and say rules don’t apply because it’s on the blockchain.

The more the shutdown goes on, the more Americans will hear about what government agencies and the people have *already* lost.

I found the war on Christianity

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 14h

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

#Sex work is unfortunately one of the only good paying jobs these days where you fully own the means of production. Why it must be crushed under #capitalism
Want to end #sexwork ? Make everything required to live free. After that they will just be doing it for the fun of it #sexworkers

I always thought that the #singularly was when computer got small enough that they could match the human brain in size to processing power, not when general #ai exists. Am i wrong here?

#ai

Anubis2814 @anubis2814.bsky.social · 8h

and they just have overpriced over bloated slop factories, and humans have to be rehired to double check and clean up whatever that AI spits out. (5/5)

Anubis2814 @anubis2814.bsky.social · 8h

It requires someone who actually understands AI and its limitations to make it profitable, which apparently giant pattern warehouses like, meta, alphabet and amazon do not, they just saw dollar signs so they should be the biggest at it, (4/5)

partly because I'm a dude double her age and might come off as creepy but also because i didn't want to ruin her realization that she might look like someone like me when she gets to be may age. I also don't want her to realize that Tool is old people #music (3/3)

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.

Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

A protester with a mobility aid (cane) was sitting in the road. Illinois state troopers dragged them to the grass and arrested them.
