a beautiful paean to the open web, and a criminal indictment of google's murder-s**c*de of the open web
Google exists bc of a grand bargain: scrape the open web, and profit from directing traffic to the best sites. Around 2010, the betrayal began. YouTube artificially ranked above other video, then over time maps results injected, shopping, flights, events. Now AI answers.
And THAT ladies and gentlemen is why Gawker is a memory now…..
So Hulk Hogan died. As a former Gawker writer (as are all Gawker writers thanks to Hulk Hogan), I won't be the first or the last to say 'fuck that guy.' Dance on any grave you want to, but this one's mine.
I propose the neologism 'somphocracy' for rule by vague statement - directives which any individual might or might not be in compliance with because they are phrased to grant the governing power the maximum latitude to change their mind at a later date.
Microsoft's service agreement arguably bans users from smoking, drinking or overeating ('you must not engage in any activities harmful to you') with the penalty being immediate withdrawal of access to Windows *and* Microsoft get all data stored on your computer.
Can @Microsoft confirm that smoking, drinking or overeating while in possession of a Windows PC permits termination of access to Microsoft services if discovered, as per 3a VII. of the new service agreement, and gives Microsoft access to all PII data stored on your device?
RIP Hulk Hogan He will be remembered for bankrupting the hive of sex pest journoshits known as Gawker

i mean this was the core vanguard of the revolution always. subelites who were frustrated and blocked from their deserved positions
Zohran Mamdani’s rise is fueled by downwardly mobile urban millennials who feel failed by the system and want to tear it down. But their politics may be too radical to win over the growing, suburban middle class Democrats need in other parts of the country.
Man, I still can't get over this
Rachel Maddow having a normal one. Calls Lord of the Rings a right wing dog whistle. (Based) Refers to Gandalf’s Ring of Power “Narya” and says, it’s “Aryan” but you just move the “N.” Hard hitting mental breakdown goblin activity here.

I'll be honest, this kind of numerology* makes me believe the claim less. * the capital A and D are 14 again. It's the Law of Fives, but for Nazis
@grok what are the chances that it’s purely coincidence that this tweet from DHS contains exactly 14 words, two capitals H’s (HH, as in Heil Hitler), A and D capitalized (A=1st letter, D=4th letter for 14 again), and alongside a painting showing white settlement in Native land?
It's fucking MasterCard and the RadFems again

Terrible news to wake up to. Huge swathes of my personal itch.io library are gone with no recompense and I can't even recall everything that got deleted. On top of that many of the things I'm working on might run afoul of these new guidelines. Fuck art censorship.

These three grants alone add up to an amount that is 21% of the entire NSF budget to fund theoretical physics. The entire budget.
Slippery slope to tyranny
An Australian man was just sentenced in my state (Queensland) for using pepper spray to fight off a home invader Acting Magistrate Kirkman-Scroope told Mr Serrano his actions were a “misconceived attempt by you to protect your property” but added: “Not that that’s an excuse. You…
I'm really interested in the labeling that they use. <Critical race theory> <Race scapegoating> <Divisive concepts> <Racist concepts>
This new anti-CRT bill from Pennsylvania is *incredible*. Not only does it prohibit universities from promoting any of the usual forbidden concepts, it also prohibits them from hosting speakers or assigning readings that do. legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/P…
I'm really intrigued by the fight over memorable terminology that's currently going on in discussion and media. "Race scapegoating" vs "banning teaching history". I think the fight over terminology is more interesting than the thing they're actually fighting over!
