«Milei has dashed his ship of state against the rocks, quite simply, because he followed the cracked compass called libertarianism. Libertarianism doesn’t work. Its core assumptions aren’t true. It’s the intellectual equivalent of huffing paint. But the pro-capitalist press outside #Argentina, for their part, ignored Milei’s obvious flaws and hyped him up because they wanted him to be the real deal.»
The article shows how other countries want to run off that cliff too…

The fascist coalition was never going to hold. It couldn't. Fascists want everyone to be exactly the same. That's their whole thing. Leftists want diversity, so we can actually form coalitions. Fascists will always reach a point where they have to kill all the other fascists who aren't exactly like them.
Project 2025 betrayed this. It wasn't consistent. It was a jumble of different ideas that couldn't actually be implemented together. Someone gets left out. The Groypers haven't been getting what they want. Things have been moving too slowly for them. So now we get to see what happens. If they keep accelating, Trump could be forced to choose between cracking down on the far right (and destroying his coalition completely) or letting his people get killed. I hope that's a choice he has to make.

While Rome burns, go build things that help people and get other people involved in it. The way we win is by not getting involved in that mess, but rather just clearly demonstrating that we can make things better.

Syndicalism is the idea that workers should organize themselves into unions within their industries and use those unions to take control of workplaces, so workers—not bosses or shareholders—run things directly and democratically.
Think of it like everyone at your job working together to decide how things are made, what gets done, and how profits are shared, rather than having one boss making all the choices and getting the biggest share.

Reconfigurable, non-volatile control of optical anisotropy in ReS2 via ferroelectric gating
Electrically tunable linear dichroism (LD) with non-volatile properties represents a critical yet elusive feature for next-generation integrated photonic elements in practical device architectures. Here, we demonstrate record-breaking, non-volatile control of optical anisotropy in two-dimensional ReS2 via ferroelectric gating with aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN). Our ferroelectric field-effect transistors achieve near-unity (~95%) LD tunability of differential reflectance at room temperature-…

Policy Learning for Social Robot-Led Physiotherapy
Social robots offer a promising solution for autonomously guiding patients through physiotherapy exercise sessions, but effective deployment requires advanced decision-making to adapt to patient needs. A key challenge is the scarcity of patient behavior data for developing robust policies. To address this, we engaged 33 expert healthcare practitioners as patient proxies, using their interactions with our robot to inform a patient behavior model capable of generating exercise performance metrics…

«The raging mob of peasants is told to put away their torches and pitchforks, and to be reasonable, and to let the adults in the room get on with governance. As the saying goes, "The purpose of a system is what it does", and this system seems to overwhelmingly favour Google at the expense of all those unruly peasants»
