The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.

Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Supreme Court trans ruling made me sick - we must be allies to trans women The Supreme Court's ruling in 2025 that being a woman only refers to biological sex was a blight on the feminist movement. Standing against violence against trans and cis women alike should be our uni...
