Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

wtf is up with these 6-7m wide sidewalks, utterly sterile, in dark colors, hot enough to fry an egg (with the grotesque yellow brick pathway supposedly for the blind)? Give us back the old broken sidewalks overgrown with shrubs. #Jakarta

It's like the planners went once to Singapore and are trying to do it from memory. No vendors, no trees, no benches -- what's the fucking purpose of those sidewalks? (No blind person ever has or ever will rely on that cynical tactile paving which never goes a block without sending you into a canal.)

189 people? Get the fuck out. That's a non-thing

👀 A Trump admin declaration in its lawsuit against California describes its process for flagging potential noncitizen voters but also indicates that the review is “ongoing” and that it discovered “minor data discrepancies” for 189 people it identified storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

happy to caucus with y'all, even as I keep my dogma on a leash and steer clear of the ism- schism game. We been through some shit though, am I right. Look at fucker Trump, bona fide Hitler fan going around saying who stays and who goes. Look at cucker Musk. It's gonna get real and I'm here for it

If Netenyahu wins again, the country deserves what So Africa got under apartheid - boycotts & no more military aid. The fact that Netenyahu knew about the possible Oct 7 strikes & allowed them to happen so he could begin his genocide makes alignment with him indefensible.

Week One: The Wizard

JBGarrity Photography@joegarrity.bsky.social

For the "spooky season," I'll feature a Hallowtober deep-space object each week. Week one: the Wizard Nebula, a medieval sorcerer wearing a pointy hat and cloak. Younger astronomers often call it the Harry Potter Nebula. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

The bright blue star Navi illuminates its foreground gases, creating a ghostly haze. Its blue reflection blends with the red Hα gas, suffusing the scene with magenta and washing out the ghostly figure's reddish hue in The Ghost of Cassiopeia. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #eck #photography

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

What is true is that this was a conflict—and make no mistake, this was a conflict; this was a protracted battle in a hybrid war, more than anything—that was largely fought by large numbers of people laboriously working to unfuck the nation's informational environment.

offmessage.netWhere’s The Music?This election is a referendum on Trump’s attempt to rule as king. Democrats should close on putting down his rebellion, no matter what happens to the price of diesel.

“Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” 💯

Rafa Sales Ross@rafiews.com

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

It’s important not just because it’s the original sin - the harvesting of our personal data underpins Silicon Valley’s surveillance economy and therefore its power - but because everything we are witnessing today with AI is a direct descendant

Good Morning and welcome to the new week! Stripey Scottish cats Joe and Jake sent their sincere congratulations to Lula for his win the the run-off to the Brazilian elections late last night. Joe and Jake wish him all the best and they look forward to working with him and his government. Namaste!

Everyone knows the riots across Europe are protests against the cost of living, but here's the President of the United States anyway...
