Writer @naomiaklein.bsky.social says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."

So, who wants a Mordheim inspired game from the guy who wrote the rules for Warcry, Games Workshop’s best wargame for years? Because that’s what you can get* if you click this link. * well, the beta rules at any rate.

The NZ Govt travels the world telling people how they take their climate commitments seriously. But at home they dismantle every policy that constrains emissions and subsidise more emissions. So we've joined international efforts to hold them to account. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Ca-caw! The Rooks are gathering this weekend to celebrate the art & legacy of the late, great John Blanche. We're thrilled to be joined by writer, artist, sculptor & legend Jes Goodwin, who knew John well, to help us reminisce & discuss John's undeniable impact. Join us! youtube.com/live/Xzib97U...
The warping of "punk" to mean "powered by" is one of my particular bugbears, and I blame steampunk for it.
A lot of bad discourse about cyberpunk (the genre and artistic movement) would be resolved if people realized the name precedes the reclamation of the term "Punk" and does actually just refer to criminal and ambiguously-criminal protagonists
I honestly dont know anymore. I have no theory of mind for people who seemingly understand that climate change is real and happening, and still want more fossil fuels burned. I can at least understand it from people who just don't believe in science.
It's sociopathic that neoliberal leaders are smiling through all this while proposing more pipelines. They have the same access to information we do. What's even their end game? All marine life dies in the next couple years but worth it for the money no one can spend?

I could care less about General Dynamics absolutely fucking the job of providing shells to the US Army, but this is still a fascinating read from ProPublica.

Now, to be fair, that's an order of magnitude over their usual view counts.
John Fetterman's appearance on WaPo's Make It Make Sense podcast—in which he spends a good portion of it trashing Abdul El-Sayed—has generated only 3,600 views in two days, despite getting a lot of play on Fox. Also, he'll apparently wear a suit for a podcast nobody watches -- but not for his job.
If the Mikkelsen Method is making so much passive income, why are they trying to sell you the Method instead of just doing it themselves? youtu.be/biYciU1uiUw?...
If they are making unlimited money self-publishing AI-generated books, why are they wasting time selling classes on how to self-publish AI-generated books?

Remember that Aotearoa is not the US: a vote for the minor parties isn't wasted, and gives them leverage in a coalition. Will it bring about a dictatorship of the proletariat? No. But it'll at least stop National slashing the welfare state and giving cookers and TERFs access to the levers of power.
