significant counterparty risk
An Australian app, so you can say “Epstein” on this one but still not “stop the genocide and colonisation of Palestine”. At least the hate speech manager (for now) isn’t an ex-IDF Zionist and the platform (for now) is not expressly pro-Israel / pro-genocide.
Indeed! Castro famously opted for a moral vest over kevlar when visiting the US.
Makes sense, X always boosts racists.
Anti-genocide = anti-racist
Pro-Israel = racist
No no, it is:
Increased electricity demand has already been on the rise because of the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers in the U.S., which consume large quantities of energy and have affected residential energy bills.
The storm seems like pretense though bc the article says bills will go up for 6 months to a year even if the cold snap is just for a week, so it seems like people are being primed to pay higher prices this fall for a cold snap in January, when the real reason for constantly rising costs is AI data centers.
Great post and I really enjoyed the replies. Mine is of Chavez visiting Castro in 2006 in Havanna, as Castro was dying of cancer. Both men were imprisoned for a failed coup but later rose to power (Chavez democratically and Castro by revolutionary liberation of the country), and both men died in a hospital bed in their respective countries in 2013.
As this is a cultural artifact I’m sure there are many ways of interpreting it, but I thought tankies were the people who think it’s right to suppress imperial-backed anti-democratic coups by any means necessary, and that it originated from the events of the Hungarian Revolution.
Don’t forget napalm and defoliants.
This topic has come up a lot (not least from Cory Doctorow). The fact that the rich are both so fragile and so un-creative is why they love AI, especially the sycophantic variants. They can’t handle someone saying no to them or, apparently, an accurate description of the past that isn’t completely flattering to them. Let them work in food services, lol.
Strikes don’t end until demands are met.
They usually end when Democrats fold, like the rail strike of 2022 or the more recent government shutdown. The demands don’t get met.
This is an argument for community run fiber, not for Musk.
Are people going to start listening to their “paranoid” nephews yet?
This is just taking every single word that comes out of Trump’s mouth seriously. A bad tactic.
Blow is surprisingly resistant to inflation.

Someone must have clicked “I’m in this photo and I don’t like it”.
lmao there he is <3
Yea, that’s right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters’ individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take.
Yea, that’s right.
We could have started tackling this a decade ago had it not been for the Democratic Party.
