But do thy worst to steal thyself away,
For term of life thou art assured mine;
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
For it depends upon that love of thine.
Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,
When in the least of them my life hath end.
I see a better state to me belongs
Than that which on thy humour doth depend:
Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,
Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie. …
The tech industry’s pricing scheme for AI is becoming more and more disconnected from reality
— so much so that even its biggest clients are starting to revolt.
Speaking during an interview on CNBC‘s“Squawk on the Street” segment earlier this week,
CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.
During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 2…

”I Stockholm ligger områden där miljardärer flockas inte sällan bara några kilometer från platser där misären breder ut sig, som ett slags Skandinaviens svar på Mumbai.
Av någon anledning görs sällan kopplingen mellan dessa förhållanden och det område där Sverige kanske utmärker sig mest: kriminaliteten.” https:…
To me, the most disturbing part is how news outlets keep reporting as if elections are decided by donations rather than votes. Almost like they think we believe every ad we see, so the most ads win.

Trump’s $2.2 billion in personal earnings during his presidency has been met largely with silence from his MAGA base,
which has been increasingly willing to revolt against policies they view as an abandonment of his promises to put everyday Americans first.
Far-right members of Congress, prominent media pundits and grass-roots activists have criticized Trump’s war with Iran
and openly broken ranks to demand the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
They have accused hi…

And the answer will be "fine" as long as "the military" is thought of as a block that is treated as an enemy of the left. In the Russian case, leftists intentionally joined the military to radicalize units. In the German case, conscription meant that leftists ended up in the military radicalizing people.
The US is different, intentionally. Vietnam changed a lot. While some people resisted the draft, others rolled hand grenades into their officers' tents. Fragging commanders was a huge problem. After the end of the war, the US military adapted by ending the draft.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging
The US military works hard to brain wash recruits, yes. There are *a lot* of controls in place to minimize the probability of the type of revolt that has been part of other revolutions. One of those is "merit based" promotion. But, as we know from the Vietnam War, evrn that breaks down.
And it's easy to forget, or ignore, but the military *does* sometimes radicalize people or people radicalize themselves in response to their experiences in service. Smedley Butler is perhaps one of the more interesting examples, but there have been plenty. Aaron Bushnell should be at the top of your mind, as should Chelsea Manning (and perhaps others like Reality Winner).
Lots of people join the military for reasons other than patriotism, and some of those who join because of patriotism see what the US really is as part of their service. Support our vet comrades. Support those doing the work of trying to radicalize service members. Keep an open mind when talking to folks in the military today. Welcome comrades who are still in the military and have come to realize what's happened. And, most importantly, listen to those who have served to understand other things you can do to support service members who are in the process of rejecting their indoctrination.

House Republican leaders are making another bid to salvage the stalled
voter suppression SAVE America Act after a conservative revolt froze floor action last week,
but GOP lawmakers behind the blockade are withholding support for the plan.
The House Rules Committee on Monday approved a rule in an 8-4 vote that would
merge an annual defense policy bill with the Trump-backed election measure
in a rare procedural maneuver before sending the package to the Senate. …

Hundreds revolt as Trump moves to hand a slice of Yosemite to a private developer - Raw Story

So far, the president’s plot to subvert the integrity of the midterm elections looks like this:
Issue a rule requiring states to give lists of mail-in voters to the Postal Service if their citizens hope to receive mail-in ballots.
Knowing that this is a blatantly unconstitutional seizure of the states’ prerogative to run their own elections,
count on a federal court to block the rule.
Then challenge the injunction, arguing
