The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

It is important to keep in mind that a lot of the natalist panic in the West is in response to a successful feminist push to reduce the rates of child rape.

(Teenage girls are statistically most often knocked up by adult men. I think the average age is around 23.)

i have no idea what the back end of this dodo-brained decision process looked like, but the front end (marketing) is very clearly a toxically-masculine laser fixation on selling US consumers the biggest possible fucking high & mighty roadhog TRUCKKK their shrinking household budgets will allow

1/ Ukraine's success this year in stalling Russia's offensive, and driving Russian forces back in some places, has prompted increasingly bleak assessments from Russian warbloggers. In a lengthy series of posts, Yuri Kotenok warns that Russia's war effort is faltering badly. ⬇️

Damn that's crazy. Anyway, let's look at who's running the US delegati--

Wie sehr gefällt es mir doch, dass alle unsere Leute über das Steuern von Drohnen aus Tausenden von Kilometern Entfernung schweigen. Eine unglaubliche Technologie

Seine Hände so weiß Über Noten und Fäuste, ein Stück Kohle zur Klavierstunde und das morgendliche Stakkato hinter der Wand, über Arthur Rubinstein und ein Pogrom in den Straßen von Lodz

Niemals wieder trat Arthur Rubinstein in Deutschland öffentlich auf. Überall in Europa gab er Konzerte, nicht aber in Deutschland. „Wieviele leben noch, die sehr schuldig sind?“ erklärte er 1965 in Straßburg. „Wenn ein einziger von diesen Leuten im Konzertsaal wäre: ich würde sterben vor Scham.“

Die Bundesregierung erarbeitet im Akkord Gesetzentwürfe, die das Leben von Menschen mit Unterstützungsbedarf erheblich verschlechtern und teils gefährden, während die Fossilindustrie mit immer höheren Gewinnen rechnen kann.

Und das Volk verfolgt einen sterbenden Wal im Livestream.

Gerade in der linksradikalen Szene kommt Kritik an Männlichkeit oft viel zu kurz. Zwar wird viel der Antifeminismus der Rechten kritisiert, viele cis Männer nennen sich Feministen, verwenden die richtigen Begriffe & haben vielleicht schon mal einen Workshop zu kritischer Männlichkeit besucht.

His appointment fits my “punishment of the American people for failing Trump” pattern. The FBI is for all its faults a venerated American institution (I’m not arguing that’s deserved). Degrading it by appointing this guy is fitting. It’s not the sole reason but one I see across the board in Trump 2.

This shit is what I mean when I say "AI" is the tool of and the prevailing aesthetic of fascism.

Nostalgia is a thought terminator.

A stack of chinos in different colors.

Someone asked if I could tell them where to buy a pair of good chinos. In this thread, I will tell you, but my answer is not simple. On the upside, I think this is a better approach when shopping for clothes and you can apply it to any kind of item. 🧵

Without directing this at anyone in particular, I feel like making statements like "Hinduism is very queer-accepting" or "the Indian trans bill that literally designates trans women as either groomers or self-mutilators doesn't really impact trans women" should be disqualifying in terms of being taken seriously on the topic, but are instead being met with a great degree of credulity. I fear this is the piss on the poor site continuing to not exercise the literacy the US education system robbed them of, but I promise if you think about it for even a little bit you can overcome the orientalist and transmisogynistic biases that would lead you to accept such statements uncritically. Declaring a religion as "queer-accepting" without any regard for the systems of oppression and literal theocratic fascism it is currently upholding in a nation of over a billion people is more than a little shortsighted, in fact, especially when said religion is being cited heavily by those implementing the aforementioned transphobic bill. And maybe, maybe, just maybe, being seen as an oh so special "third sex" that isn't allowed into regular society and can't do any actual jobs besides begging for alms at ceremonies isn't a fucking privilege.

Infografik zum DIW Wochenbericht 16+17/2026: Private Vorsorge erreicht Geringverdienende, Mieter*innen und Menschen mit geringerer Bildung seltener – und verstärkt so Ungleichheiten, die die gesetzliche Rente nicht ausgleicht

Private und betriebliche Formen der Altersvorsorge erreichen viele Haushalte in Deutschland nicht. Insb. Geringverdienende, Menschen mit Erwerbsunterbrechungen und Beschäftigte kleiner Betriebe nutzen deutlich seltener ergänzende Formen der Vorsorge. 🧵(1/11) www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

Was angesichts der Ölkrise übersehen wird: unser Tankstellenproblem ist relativ harmlos. Viel größer ist das Problem der Düngerproduktion. Wenn die in 2-3 Monaten in die Knie gehen sollte, haben wir eine globale Nahrungskrise, und ihr habt sicher genug Fantasie, was das nach sich ziehen könnte.

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

The Hungarian election is just a huge vibe shift for the EU. The perpetual narrative in the US and globally was the far-right is obviously coming to destroy the EU. But the massive defeat of Orban (should) change the narrative. And raise the question of the EU isn’t doomed… where is it headed?

In my experience, this seems to be the rule rather than the exception with us tism folks.

President Zelenskyy:

❗️For the first time in the history of this war an enemy position was taken using only unmanned platforms - ground robotic complexes and drones.

Russian soldiers in the position surrendered into captivity.

1/ Russian bloggers and commentators are continuing to reflect, often angrily, on the defeat yesterday of Hungary's Viktor Orbán. They blame the Hungarian people for being too ignorant, accuse their own elites of failing, and fear for Russia's future. ⬇️
