Elon, you absolute fucking moron. The Nazis were far-right fascists who destroyed labor unions, persecuted communists and socialists, and murdered political opponents. Hitler literally purged the party’s left wing. Calling Nazis socialists because of their name is like believing North Korea is democratic because it calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Imagine being the richest man alive and still being too fucking stupid to understand history at a middle-school level. Money can buy you a platform, Elon. Apparently, it can’t buy you a functioning brain.
Hitler was a far left socialist. Literally in the name of his party!

The market rate of a developer who can maintain a large open source project is at least $300k/yr. (Conservatively, check levels.fyi.) The most I've seen someone rack up on GitHub Sponsors and Patreon is like $1,000/month. You see the problem?

The owner of this website is using a rigged algorithm to dictate the information voters receive. He is doing this to promote the far-right across Europe. He is a threat to democracy. Your presence here assists him. Your departure hurts him. Go to BlueSky.

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain. It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

Generative AI is a technology lacking any real purpose sold through half-truths and propaganda. It’s the work of a tech industry led by growth-obsessed charlatans desperate for power, bereft of creativity and the ability to solve real problems. wheresyoured.at/godot-isnt-m…

A data scientist isn't a scientist, a prompt engineer isn't an engineer, machine learning doesn't learn, artificial intelligence isn't intelligence, and agents don't have agency. This industry is so full of shit.

And this is the guts of it. A significant plurality of American voters can be easily convinced to vote against their own interests or desires if a candidate promises to hate and abuse the people they think they are supposed to hate and fear. And with a relentless demagogue on the loose, we are now approaching the threshold at which our electorate is too fucking stupid to operate a republic.
Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play. Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris. Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

I literally don’t see how democracy can survive long term if the richest and most powerful people are free to lie at scale with no consequence.

I'll make my point a little more seriously. £37bn of tax money of many people reading this went during Covid to allegedly corrupt people and organisations. Not one head has rolled, not one person arrested, not one person doorstepped to answer questions. Just one puff ball interview with one woman and her husband. That £37bn has cost British lives, savings, businesses and hope. Still, 4 years later, zero accountability for a monster political story. Instead, in all seriousness, a senior UK tv journalist has tweeted a story that's so irrelevant that anyone reading it can only draw one conclusion. That "look over there at a shiny bulshit story that'll titilate " replaces serious political journalism surrounding corruption of the state. You've just tweeted a one liner in Private Eye when you should be looking for the front page of UK state corruption.
Sky News can reveal Home Secretary Yvette Cooper went for free to a Taylor Swift concert as guest of Swift’s music label Universal Music. Ms Cooper went as a guest of her huband, Ed Balls who was given four tickets. Later that month the home secretary had discussions about boosting protection for Ms Swift when she was in London after concerts were cancelled in Vienna because of a foiled attack Mr Balls received the tickets on August 4, before the Swift's shows in Vienna were cancelled This has not appeared in the public register to date because the tickets were understood to be worth £170 - less than the £300 that would make it a declarable expense. Earlier today the home secretary made the declaration to the cabinet office.

Don't call them Farage Riots. It makes him really upset.
Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that
