This is why we should stop referring to it as “white collar, or financial crime.” It’s criminal felony activity and should be presented that way. Just because there is no physical assault doesn’t make it any less hurtful to society. I’d argue these “white-collar” crimes hurt the community more.
A central part of why it seems like powerful, rich people live in a consequence-free world is that the social incentives to hold them to account have withered. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar... 𝟏𝟐-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞-𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬

It’s time to stop calling them “influencers” and call them what they are, sellouts.
This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...

Seeing Alexi Lalas' smug dumb face on my TV again for the next 30+ days reminds me of this brilliant (and still relevant) article written by @drewmagary.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...
AI is starting to remind me of 3D printers. Sure in the right hands both can do good things. But if everyone has it they just make a bunch of junk that no one wants.
Please enjoy this graph from a FT article explaining that AI hasn’t added any value (no, debt and circular investment isn’t value) It has produced More Stuff, it’s just the Stuff isn’t useable or fixable. Welcome to the age of everyone making apps no one uses

I keep seeing this, but the power of the presidency leaves trump in January of 29. Even if he locks himself in the bunker, he’s just a crazy old mad locked in the White House bunker.
Trump has repeatedly said the bunker will be ready on September 2028. Just in time to lock himself in. bsky.app/profile/muel...

I don’t think DOJ should hand the president a multi-billion dollar slush fund he can divvy up between criminals he likes and his private bank account, nor that he should be able to buy stock then use taxpayer funds to boost that company. It’s corrupt. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.
Never have I ever turned @971thefan.bsky.social off more than I have this last year. Timmy is the worst host on the station. Clearly they did not care about ratings.
One of my favorite parts of the day is turning Timmy hall off the radio. @971thefan.bsky.social

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...
it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

He’s the past president he’s referring to
TRUMP: I've spoken to a certain president, who I like actually, a past president, he said, 'I wish I did it.' But they didn't do it. I'm doing it. Q: Which president? TRUMP: I can't tell you that. It would be very bad for his career even though he's got no career left.

I agree completely. I’ve been disappointed my rep, @repbeatty.bsky.social hasn’t don’t more to hold him accountable.
It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

I’m convinced planter is a republican, running as a democrat, to troll the Democratic Party. Once he wins, he’ll caucus with republicans and laugh while he drinks liberal tears.
this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever
