Yes and when they sneeze that’s called a…

Thanks so much

I must be stupid, could you elaborate?

Just went thru a big (unrelated) homelab restore

Had no doubt. Just funny in a “This kills the crab” kind of way.

Top quality comment right here. Way to hit on so many disparate yet crucial historical events. I’d read a history book this person wrote.

Have You Know?

Oh how I hope all these righteous old ladies in viral images and memes go down in the history books. From my own guesstimate experience, tragically, it’s an upvote and a moving on. Yet, these women are not doing it for glory.

“Foundation Security” 🙄

Probably related to the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov and Musk’s absurd idea that he is remotely a figure in some such space story.

It’s political economy with the politics “removed.” As if you can just subtract the human, political impact of political economy and meaningfully “only” talk cold hard dollars.

Is Buttigieg not a neoliberal?? As I recall, neoliberalism is characterized by austerity, de-regulation, tax cuts, and privatization.

He certainly seemed pro-austerity and pro-privatization back in 2019-2020 with his milquetoast “Medicare for All Who Want It” talk. And he is from McKinsey after all.

Looked for this comment before saying the same thing. This is just what emerged at that time as a wonderfully convenient tax avoidance scheme, however organically. Art gatekeepers are tax dodgers’ useful idiots.

It may be aesthetic. It may be beautiful. But applauding while traitors converge upon some artist and their work is a mistake. They will always use this shit to rob society blind.

Luckily the time for highly centralized art opinion is somewhat over with the internet. It is much harder now to ‘force’ opinion to be that so-and-so is just divine and worth ten billion dollars for any art they create.

First few games were delightful to me precisely because they didn’t beat you over the head with a story. It’s up to you the player to make your own meaning of the understated story.

Find any video on YouTube about Mondragon in Spain. This is a good one from Dutch broadcaster vpro. It’s like the 9th largest organization in Spain, highly successful in other words. The Marxian economics Professor Richard Wolff gave a ‘Talk at Google’ years ago that is in part about Mondragon. He discusses Mondragon in much of his work in fact.

There is also some academic work that shows that worker coops are more resilient during recessions and, for example, the global financial crisis. Here’s a DW (German) minidoc discussing that fact https://youtu.be/zaJ1hfVPUe8

“iT wAs A rApId UnScHeDuLeD dIsSaSsEmBlY”

I thought that could be the meaning… Wonder if Sam Altman knew that when he described ChatGPT’s recent extreme fawning in reply to every message as “too much glazing”. Jesus Christ. Edit: as if any metaphorical amount is desirable, btw. Just our leaders, that’s all.

Good job I guess Brennan but you also helped get us here.

Indeed The Half Has Never Been Told

This is a brilliant idea for a lemmy community

I am an American, and I once found myself far from home traveling through what I later learned was a ‘bedroom community’ in New Jersey just trying to find a place where we could all pull over and eat something, but apparently “restaurants” were just supremely exotic anywhere within in those, Idk, 300 sq miles.

It was EXTREMELY unsettling… even for an American!
