my big box grocers has its own "three times the fruit" jam... i was going to try some, until i noticed that even with triple the amount of fruit in each jar, there still didn't seem to be enough to legally call it "jam"... so 3x the fruit, and still only fruit-ish... capitalism...gotta love it

Good thing the tech broligarchs are not psychopaths. Oh, snap

Joni Askola@joniaskola.bsky.social

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

people are confused bc they think that america is a democracy and that citizens in a democracy have the right to vote… since puerto ricans are prohibited from voting, and are denied representation in congress, many people (quite reasonably) conclude that they are not “real” citizens…

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

These laws mandate unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and data harvesting, rewarding Big Tech with even more power and money, and giving the government sweeping authority to decide what content is “harmful” and should be removed. zeteo.com/p/trump-tikt...

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

you know what i havent been able to get out of my head through all this?… how many of the people ice has kidnapped were single and/or alone when they were disappeared? what if they had now starving babies and/or animals waiting for them to get home when they were kidnapped?

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
