They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.
If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

The people in Silicon Valley are so smart. They are the smartest group of humans to ever exist. And they have discovered the smartest thing to dedicate their one life to thinking and talking about: business money $$$.

The stupidest people you know were mad they were born stupid and then the media platformed a dating show co-host from MTV for her vaccine expertise and now this guy runs HHS. Media is on the hook for all of the science brain drain in healthcare and the war on academia.
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

We could be treating Canada Post as not just an essential delivery service, but an essential social infrastructure in our communities.
Instead the government prefers to treat it as a costly burden that must be subject to death by a thousand cuts.

For isolated seniors, Canada Post delivers more than mail | CBC News
As the Canada Post strike hits the one-week mark, there are growing concerns for one group of Canadians who typically rely on the delivery service more than most — seniors.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed
have just come across a YouTube account that has been using Sora to upload reels of fake, AI-generated “90s sitcoms” every few hours

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.

Tl;dr: Quantitative Easing *did* happen after 2008, but it went to Silicon Valley and tech oligarchs who used it to build gambling apps that drove our parents insane as our high streets and communities died and got replaced by drop-shipping ecomm sites that decimated labour rights and human dignity.
To give a schematic overview of the past decade, the ZIRP era empowered Silicon Valley to build wealth and infrastructure equivalent to micro-states, which our neoliberal leaders, allergic as they are to the idea of state intervention, were all too happy to facilitate. (cont.)

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun.
