The argument that Gaza would already be wiped out if Israel was really trying to kill civilians or commit a genocide is wrong. With the same logic, Russia isn't really trying to invade Ukraine, since they could just nuke the country and it'd be “over”.
The point is that Israel is killing as many civilians with as much plausible deniability as possible, in order to not warrant a foreign intervention.

Border Patrol agents on 'roving patrol' arrest U.S. citizen on assault charges. Fear of widespread racial profiling gains momentum as Home Depots and car washes raided.

And yes, please, please, please view anyone raising money to expose some theoretical 2024 election tampering as a Steinesque grifter. They are conning you. And they are more likely than not conning you to fund some right-wing benefactor holding their puppet strings — or at best they’re just an old-fashioned charlatan. Ignore.

"On Wednesday, the museum announced that the rest of Tolokonnikova’s performance would have to be postponed indefinitely, because of “ongoing demonstrations and military activity”.
“Every single event I did in Russia was shut down by the cops,” she posted on Instagram, “and now it’s starting to feel a lot like Russia.”"
...
“I guess the National Guard will be performing POLICE STATE instead of me this week,” Tolokonnikova wrote on Instagram.

"Daran schliesst sich die Frage, ob ein Vollzeitlohn zum Leben reichen muss oder nicht. Aktuell muss der Staat einspringen, wenn Angestellte trotz 100-Prozent-Pensum zu wenig verdienen, um über die Runden zu kommen.
Das heisst, wenn sich Unternehmen entscheiden, gewissen Angestellten so wenig zu zahlen, dass diese auf Sozialhilfe angewiesen sind, muss die Allgemeinheit mit Steuergeld einspringen."

wow this sucks. happy everyone is safe.

After turning on both users and advertisers, tech companies only had one more place to go: employees. Individual productivity (AI-powered or otherwise) will not save you, because the issue is not performance.
In return, employees rightly stopped caring.
But unless you care, you can't do good design.

Fear vs Play
Fear is choking out thoughtfulness in tech, and it can't be replaced with "more productivity" — because productivity is not what motivates corporate layoffs.

Huh, so the American "No Kings Day" is happening on the same day as the Commonwealth's "Kings Official Summer Birthday".
Strange coincidence.
I think there should be no kings and no king's birthday celebrations FWIW. Power passed down the genetic line like a mutation is ridiculous, and anyway no power should be concentrated in one person like that in the first place.
Have a happy holiday, whichever you are celebrating/protesting.

AI coding tools are shifting to a surprising place: the terminal | TechCrunch
For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe-coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software. Instead of working on code, they’re increasingly interacting directly with the shell of whatever system they’re installed in. It’s a significant change in how AI-powered software development happens – and despite the …

It’s especially frustrating because there •is• election manipulation happening in plain sight: voter suppression, gerrymandering, a vast media empire of right-wing falsehood, microtargeted disinformation from billionaires and hostile foreign states alike, GOP- and Putin-backed grifters posing as left-leaning third party candidates and then just pocketing the donations and disappearing —
•none• of that even in doubt. We do not need to search for a shadowy conspiracy. Democracy’s being strangled in broad daylight.

Since Trump returned to office in January, several government programs to combat domestic terrorism from white supremacists, militias, and other radicalized far-right extremists have been curtailed or abandoned. Public safety, civil liberties, and national security will suffer.

Minnesota political assassin
57-year-old Vance Boelter,
was twice appointed to the nonpartisan Governor’s Workforce Development Council

-- in 2016 under former Gov. Mark Dayton
and again in 2019 under Gov. Tim Walz.
His most recent term expired in January 2023.

57-year-old suspect sought in targeted shootings of Minnesota state lawmakers
Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband have died after they were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park.

So the assassin in Minnesota was a wearing a police uniform and had a police car. Think about it...
