If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Working on a crank idea that machines need to feel more like machines. When you run a car with an iPad you don't appreciate that actually it's more than a ton of metal that can kill somebody if you aren't careful.

Love to use the computer. Use one all the time. Probably too much. But the computer... doesn't belong in cars. Touchscreens in the car; operating systems I have to interact with — unnecessary, unwanted, a liability

Lots of confusion between “every great new technology was initially resisted” and “every technology that is initially resisted will be great.”

Fuck, I just looked up the site in the watermark. This meme is from an overt white supremacist telegram channel.

Elon said, “An entire civilization is willingly giving away its land and women because the alternative is to be mean.” It’s really hard to overstate how fascist - and dangerous - this kind of rhetoric is. He’s approaching Trump pre-Jan 6th levels of threat. Pay attention.

exactly this. anti-woke inc. is little more than an insular circlejerk of rich reactionary narcissists who think they are iconoclasts because they occasionally experience social friction.

I'm not joking about his, they all hang out at these weird little gripe salons and then a few weeks later you get an article about whatever it is that came up there injected straight into the discourse

Trader Joe’s United said it’s *not* calling for a customer boycott at this time in response to the company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. But they *are* asking people to sign a customer strike pledge if they call for a boycott in the future. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/forms/stand-...

This is supremely fucked. *And* I’m going to wait to see what the unionized workers of Trader Joe’s United call for customers to do in response. Like @taliajane.bsky.social said on the hellsite, collective action is better for workers than slowly declining sales they could use to lay people off

if the biden campaign is looking for an economic message to headline its 2024 campaign, they could do worse than "going after the price gougers responsible for greedflation"

Americans’ recent inflation woes were driven by companies that kept their prices high even as costs fell in recent months in order to increase their profit margins, a new report argues

Report Claims Inflation Woes Driven Largely By Corporate Greedwww.huffpost.com The paper boosts the controversial progressive argument that corporations are squeezing American households just because they can.
