Called my senators back (and Schumer) yesterday to specifically use the word 'cloture' in my message. Even double checked the pronunciation to be sure how it sounded in my head is how you actually pronounce it. :)


In @Trouw legt tech-columnist Ilyaz Nasrullah uit, waarom Elon Musk een gevaar is “dat gestopt moet worden”. En ook, hoe we daaraan bij kunnen dragen: “Koop geen Tesla. Heb je er al één? Doe 'm weg… Maak Tesla tot een paria. Kelder de koers. Laat Musk geld bloeden. En invloed verliezen.”

Ik moest er erg om lachen, maar het slot van het liedje is ook hier natuurlijk gewoon dat er ergens ter wereld weer iemand in die Tesla rijdt waar, ik herhaal het, Musk de centen al voor heeft opgestreken.

The UK's economic stagnation over the past decade has left Britain no longer a rich country, with parts of the UK having lower living standards than below Slovenia and Malta.

The UK's welfare system falls behind OECD standards, with welfare payments insufficient to cover essential costs for many.

huh. I guess this is what happens at the end of empire. After your empire isnt strong enough to continue raping dozens of countries, the dysfunction comes home to roost.

The Dark Ages will finally end at some point. They havent, but they are in their final days.

in reply to RussianChineseDeepStateSock

@Milkman76 I feel like this all really traces back to the rise of neoliberalism specifically, where financial capitalism started to reign supreme in the west
in reply to Yogthos

Im reading some neoliberals on a local San Francisco page "SFGate", and in the opinion part a neoliberal (I assume) wrote a long, angry rant against neoliberal democrats and how they have failed everyone by pretending to be "the good guys" when in fact they were just doing market capitalism the whole time.

They claimed to have been a supporter, even of Harris..... but claimed to now finally see what the democrats really are. Im hopeful here. A few liberals becoming angry is good.

in reply to Yogthos

I hope, hope, hope some of them move left. I try not to hope too hard for such a thing... but I hope.

If you have good/humanism in your heart and you care about reducing harm in any way... you have to move left.

in reply to RussianChineseDeepStateSock

@Milkman76 pretty much yeah, and I definitely hope we'll start seeing genuine left starting to form in the west as a response to the failure of liberalism

🇺🇸 Trump: "We will see if Russia agrees, and if not, it will be a very disappointing moment for the world."

"We’ve discussed with Ukraine which territories will be left or lost, as well as other elements of the final deal. A major power plant is part of the talks, and we’re discussing the concepts of an agreement. We don’t want to waste time if there’s no ceasefire."

Trump doesn't care about Ukraine's sovereignity.

what about 'the invader doesn't get any land and moves away to Russia again'?

Vi sarete accorti che che festival/fiere del fumetto spuntano come funghi in tutto il paese, sintomatico di un medium non più solo adatto a disadattati o bambini, ma qualcosa da cui anche il paesello più sperduto può guadagnarci.
Al contrario, è invece ancora dura a morire la concezione per le grandi masse che l'animazione sia appannaggio esclusivo dei bambini.

Il problema è semplice: il noleggio delle sale costa, le licenze dei film pure (e non poco!), chiamare a raccolta gli ospiti neanche a dirlo.
La soluzione a cui è giunta l'associazione no-profit di cui faccio parte è una campagna crowdfunding.
Per il programma pilota di questa prima edizione abbiamo stimato costi intorno ai 7000€, necessari a realizzare quanto descritto sopra.
in reply to inkboy89

Se vi ho incuriosito, trovate maggiori informazioni nella pagina della campagna, magari se non vi ho convinto a donare (anche 1€ conta!), se voleste anche solo diffonderla vi ringrazio anticipatamente! 🙇🏻‍♂️
Cerchiamo anche sponsorizzazioni da parte di aziende piccole, medie e grandi, e per loro abbiamo approntato un piano diverso di ricompense in un documento a parte che se necessario vi giro in privato.

Grazie per l'attenzione e per aver letto fin qui!

In which @gruber roasts Apple for lying about Apple Intelligence: daringfireball.net/2025/03/som…

Good stuff! But, I think he’s overthinking it. What happened was, Board-level people and Wall Street both yelled the same thing at Tim Cook: “Make grandiose AI announcements or your share price goes down.” In 2025 capitalism, those voices can’t be ignored or resisted. So they made the announcement.

Also, good on Apple for declining to ship a shit product under the Apple Intelligence brand.

Robey ☠️ reshared this.

in reply to Tim Bray

We can only speculate, because Apple's board does not leak a drop, but my impression is that Cook has built up so much good will he can do what he wants. If he told the board a year ago “We’re announcing Apple Intelligence, but it’ll be table stakes to start. We're taking our time to get this right” I think they would have said “Sure, sounds great, keep up the good work.”
in reply to Tim Bray

That's what makes this whole thing so inexplicable to me. What's the point of building up so much capital -- both literal cash and figurative faith -- if not to use it to hold one's fire when catching up?

AAPL was the most valuable company in the world a year ago. They had no need to overpromise and risk underdelivering.

how can we resist, ideas? People are still hanging on X. Media is referring to X. My friends returned to Facebook, after they realised Mastodon or Bluesky wasn't really any alternative.
