"There’s no question there is a disruption in progress and that generative AI is implicated in it, but the desire of corporate executives to deskill and disempower workers is a far more consequential driver than any new technology." 👀
"Try to get in through a tiny gap in a window approximately 2 seconds after it's been opened, then stay in the house for about 16 to 20 hours, even though the roof and two walls have been removed to let you out"

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.
The BBC caused Brexit by platforming Farage (fairly uncontroversial) not on purpose but in a bungled attempt to split the right wing vote.

Forms impose their own logic on messy people's lives #1926Census
Just doesn’t seem plausible from all the posts I’ve seen 😅
I can't think of a single piece of technology that *has* actually changed the game that required this much hype along the way
Not to yuck ANYONES yum but there were not that many people locked up for being in the IRA or a Republican in 1926.
Some of y’alls rellies were just crims 😌
And that’s fine, how the mighty have risen, one could say.

Chatting with the homestead. Seems people felt afraid NOT to participate in the blockades for fear of being targeted, whether in a low-key “why weren’t you there?” way or family getting doxxed way. This is all very schoolyard bully but on a more sinister level. AKA, quite Trumpian.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

Threads post saying Ireland has just declared his independence from England. This should be interesting. With a screenshot of RTÉ News showing an Irish army officer reading the Proclamation.
If you're ever bored by the bland sensibility of Bluesky have a look at threads for some of that social media derangement.
Here's a yank thinking the reading of the 1916 Proclamation on Easter Monday is Ireland declaring itself independent from England today....

Harassment, personal abuse, & threats have become an endemic part of Irish political life. & it’s by & large driven by social media, which has played a major part in all of these incidents.
All of these incidents have been shocking but pale into insignificance compared to what happened this week.

Hence my 3rd hand info warning I’ve seen it reported as such but could it be that I don’t think even HE could be so horrible 😞
Oh 100%!!!
I thought it was proven the late man was English and took his life there in 2019 (warning this is 3rd hand info).
Looks like follow ups to the fuel protests happening this weekend. A new wrinkle is that apparently a farmer who killed himself is being held up as an example of the cruelty the government is pushing on its people
I say "apparently"
Cause as of right now I don't know if this man existed
Ever
fwiw still my favourite moment from the Irish podcasting event of last year
