Really is a problem that for every Mark Cuban ("omg I can buy sports teams yay") there are, like, 25 billionaires who believe God has chosen them to cleanse the Earth with fire and to seed the future of humanity. It's just too much damn money, brains can't handle it.
Factory farming humans — one more reason there should be no billionaires

It's rational to start with a smaller project, especially one where VIA already owns a bunch of the tracks. I am highly skeptical that if we actually get HSR done from MTL to OTW we won't then get it to Toronto from public pressure.

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.
“.. Skeptics believe the technical risks are being underestimated and say space-based data centers won’t be competitive on cost, especially if power and other constraints ease on the ground.”

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

And what is gut-churningly scary is how we are feeding this asbestos to young children and university students, willingly eroding their capacities and skills, in a large scale profoundly irresponsible experiment.

AND FOR WHAT??
"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular.

Everything else aside, a veteran politician wrote a whole op-ed about how the failures of city policies he identifies are the fault of the people who, unlike him, vote against those policies.
And here’s the kicker: Tierney’s vote, the mayor’s vote, and all the like-minded councillors always have the numbers. They win. Every time.
So if their approach is always the one implemented… how are things not improving, Tim? 17/

I shouldn't have to worry about it with my skills and responsibilities, but I still created an Indeed profile, because the WFA situation is scaring me.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership.

Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
