There’s a school of white nationalist thought, with roots in Hitlerism, that sees empathy as a suicidal, negative trait (foisted upon whites by Jews). Elon, his “rationalist” buddies and Christian Identity folks have been mainstreaming it in MAGA.

Where are the roots? Do other cultures have this?

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha.

For decades, the government cleaned it up.

But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal.

With @flatwaterfreep.bsky.social
The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

A key thing about corporate use of genAI is that it removes all the friction involved between the executives' weird fetish shit and inner thoughts, and public display

It does to corporations what alcohol does to a bigot.
using AI cuts corners on involving people who know better. negativity for christmas is an awful ad concept even if it was made by people - so a creative team would push back on the request. business people like AI doesn't argue, not understanding experts were protecting them from their own bad ideas

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

For those not following the Eurovision debacle, this is how bad it is. It’s a lesson in how to make a beloved brand with a hardcore following thoroughly toxic. Even fan/independent media who have covered the contest for years are walking away.
These are the boycotting countries in #eurovision:
🇸🇮 Took part even when they financially couldn’t in 2013, debut in 1961;
🇮🇪 7-time winner, only country to win 3 in a row;
🇳🇱 Host in 2020+2021;
🇪🇸 Country that never withdrew since debut (1961-2025);
🇮🇸 99% viewership + permanent ESC museum exhibition.
