Another reminder that billionaires are not billionaires because they are smart.
They are rich because they are broken in a way that allows them to completely ignore morality in order to gather more wealth in a doomed attempt to fill the unfillable hole inside them.
Yes, and I recall illuminating @deathpanel.bsky.social epidode with @lizjackson.bsky.social and @fractalecho.bsky.social about the history and ongoing practice of technologies co-created with disabled people for accessibility being repurposed into tools of war when they discussed the article.
Thank you!!!
I know that @fractalecho.bsky.social and @lizjackson.bsky.social wrote a great piece on a related topic: how disability tech and technologies of war and violence are entangled for @thenewrepublic.bsky.social
It’s a must read to understand disability and AI discourse

Iran can make Americans hate this war with One Weird Trick
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
I don't really have words for how embarrassing it is that they are willing to do this crybully authoritarianism to assert dominance. Like way more embarrassing than the usual behavior.
I deleted my earlier post about this because it was unclear from the media articles [and Oz's comments] that the enrollment moratorium is on new *suppliers.*
Comments are stressing me out. In all likelihood, the reason he shouted that was because it was his biggest fear that he'd shout it.
Not only is this a betrayal to core campaign promises, he’s using neoliberal rhetoric to paint libraries as “costs” rather than capacity.
i.e. what @moneyontheleft.bsky.social calls Neoliberal Public Finance.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Also:
- Nest cameras store data even when you're not subscribed
- Third party ALPRs have questionable efficacy
- Modern pacemakers transmit a unique and trackable BLE signal
- Walmart is happy to let the FBI comb through their sales records and user data

Anyone else struggling to write right now? Like, I know the concepts, I have an image of how the come together, but I sit down to do the work and I just… can’t?
This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

no longer a conspiracy theorist, simply a ‘theorist’ in today’s timeline
One of the many sins of genAI is that the societal necessity of staying vigilant for it frequently turns into a policing strategy, often with punitive consequences for the handful of people who still write and make art with human integrity. I hope this student wins their suit.
![Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies “the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw—and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.” Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive—via brain death—or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners’ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can’t.

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier."
I'm honestly speechless.
