If we’re not talking to, reading the thoughts of, and learning about people outside of our bubbles, we’re not serious about building a better world together.

Finally, some good news!
The idea that the people managing internal PR at AMD think this is somehow punishing GN is embarrassing.
Seems crazed to me as well, but we live in a world overflowing with, "Sure, but steak so tasty!" 🤡
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Stupid, disgraceful, ignorant shit. I love Florida, but far too many Floridians are lowlife, baby-brained mouth breathers.
Religious fundamentalists are enemies to free, fair, and just societies no matter which country they call home.
Rick Scott can't be killed, he's already come back from the dead. Rumor has it he used all the medicare money that he stole during his time as CEO of Columbia/HCA to finance his potion and phylactery.
If we lived in a rational, just society, ideas like these and the people perpetrating them would be seen for what they are. Instead, the people get platformed and the ideas get elevated. What a time to be alive.
Forza Ducati! 😆👍
I'm reminded of the Corporations Are Psychopaths documentary. The people confidently writing and releasing statements like this are deranged and pose a real danger to every sane person on Earth.
All those words when they could have just said, "White makes right. Might makes right."
We either sit passively by to be vaporized by their whims and wastefulness, or we actively work to disarm them in order to save ourselves and our children from their wanton destruction.
I'm just a scrub with a VisArts degree and a couple of MBA courses in my transcripts, but even I understand that.
In our world, the megawealthy function as actively deployed, economic neutron bombs. At the point where would be kings and queens are weaponizing unimaginable wealth against us, our only choice is to claw that wealth away from them before they do mass harm to the rest of us, vis-a-vis an Elon Musk.
The only good, wealthy person is one wielding wealth to support and expand the collective good, i.e. MacKenzie Scott. If a wealthy person is not using substantial portions of their wealth for the collective good, they are not good people. It is that simple for me. Greed is a pathology.
Start saying something as simple and honest as inequality is the problem, so we should tax wealth, not work, and you’re going to make enemies in this world.
These pathetic ad hominem/attack the messenger rebuttals are just a sign that Gary is on the right track.
Oh no! Was watching this live when the race was suspended. Nothing was known beyond "multiple cars involved" at the time. Was hoping the delay was due to track/barrier damage.
RIP Juha Miettinen.
Some people have misunderstood this.
We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.
This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.
Congress doesn't have to pass a law to destroy the free press. All they have to do is sit back and relax, while the wealthy fascists who sponsor/bribe them acquire the country's corporate media outlets.
Well paid employees like Mr. Tapper will say what said fascists tell them to say.
Ugly stuff. Glad we're only 3 races in! Shame MM93's injury is compromising his start. Pecco and Alex heading to rival factory teams next season might be a blessing for Bologna. 😆
NYT is just the NYP for centrists, libs, and suburbanites. Different framing, same objectives, same masters.
Pete Hegseth thinks he’s at the beginning of a Hungarian-style decade plus of wanton corruption and kleptocracy. He’s too stupid, drunk, and arrogant to understand that he’s actually standing at the threshold of a coming reckoning.
If the US and Israel had functional legal systems capable of holding powerful people accountable, none of this mayhem is happening right now.
Vivaldi has come a long way, but it takes some getting used to. Was a long-time Firefox user who messed with Waterfox along the way. Went full-time when when Mozilla started making all that noise about AI. I probably need to try Brave again.
Did not know this! That explains where all the acquisition capital has been coming from.
Ah, I think he's speaking specifically to the MotoGP era, so post-GP500s.
"Rins's achievements of fifth, fourth and third across the 2018-20 championships plus his victory tally give him a statistical claim to being Suzuki's most successful MotoGP star."
That IS a bold take! 😆 I'm old enough to remember Schwantz and Mir won a title on the Suzuki, though it was the asterisk 2020 season.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced something truly that bizarre and absurd as, like, seeing a law enforcement agent concoct a narrative to arrest me, to press charges against me."
must read (and watch) new @propublica.org/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social investigation & documentary from A.C. Thompson
Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
I grew up in corpoworld. During my time in leadership, my crew and I hit our financial targets every year without ever having to resort to layoffs...that is until my entire team and I were laid off by someone on the other side of the world. 😵💫
The future is collectives and worker owned coops IMO.
Finally, some good news!
