100 years ago, before insulin's discovery, diabetics were put on "starvation diets" to manage their blood sugar. Today, insulin is so unaffordable that many are rationing the hormone itself at risk of disability & death. How did we get here? thebaffler.com/after-the-fact…
Main Street getting absolutely skullfucked. First inflation. Then raising rates. Whoops, home prices won’t come down. Now tariffs. Second free pass in 5 years for companies to raise prices. But also open season on pumping assets (you don’t own them). Sorry. Your turn next time.
A genocide scholar lays out a meticulous case, and in response, they trot out this neocon blogger to regurgitate the same arguments that Twitter’s dumbest Israel defenders wore out a year ago. Is this the A-team?
lol you gotta respect, he was crashing out about Nolan not doing this and it turns out that on top of the eco-terror Star Wars movies he’s just gonna do it
James Cameron says his film ‘GHOSTS OF HIROSHIMA’ will be “unsparing” in depicting the atrocities of what happened during the atomic blasts. He compares it to doing what Steven Spielberg did with ‘SAVING PRIVATE RYAN’ & ‘SCHINDLER’S LIST’ Find out more: bit.ly/GhostsDF

The @AINowInstitute's landscape reports are always an immediate must-read for me—and the latest is no exception. It was great chatting with Sarah and Amba about the People's AI Action Plan
🚨415. It’s Time to Build… Radical Policy for AI (ft. Sarah Myers West, Amba Kak)🚨 Sarah and Amba from @AINowInstitute discuss their work laying out a progressive—and practical—policy agenda for AI, which centers real social need not corporate profit. soundcloud.com/thismachinekil…
NEW: "Each bed at the detention camp is expected to cost $245 a day — roughly the price of one night this week at the Intercontinental Miami hotel." Right now, Florida taxpayers are footing the bill. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…
The whole mode of Silicon Valley in the past 20 years has been to enter existing industries like hotels, taxis, food delivery, and pretend to be different enough to avoid labor law, taxes, regulation. For as long as possible. DoorDash, year 13, has avoided disability access.
Doordash nonsense again debunked: “Disabled people could just get a caregiver instead of using food delivery.” My 83 year old disabled dad can’t even get insurance to pay for a caregiver. And he has Medicare + blue shield 1/

“Feral deputized street urchins” is now my official term for the hilltop youth settler kids. Good job @willmenaker you nailed it.
this is traditionally known as a lie of omission, or perhaps a lie of inference, it really depends on how you read it, either way Sam Altman and OpenAI have intentionally misled the press and the public about Stargate
OpenAI’s Stargate no longer means what it used to mean
The Abundance debate and discussion you didn’t know you needed w @IsabellaMWeber, @BigMeanInternet, @PEWilliams_. The book; the discourse; the underlying economic and political questions; the actual but mystified capitalist social relations. Bringing light, not heat. Link below👇

crazy how light was thinking about another man when he had grok
Crusoe's PR has confirmed with me that SoftBank is not and has not ever been involved in the funding of the "Stargate" Abilene data center. To be clear, SoftBank has otherwise no other function in Stargate, meaning they were never *anything* to do with this data center project.
