Perplexity CEO offers AI company’s services to replace striking NYT staff ↗︎
↳ The future tech bros want. Fuck this scab and their shitty valueless company. Yuck. — added 6:12am on 06/11/24 ❧
How are racehorses really treated in the ‘sport of kings’? ↗︎
↳ Any “sport” involving animals is fundamentally predicated on torture and exploitation. The same way capitalists torture workers. But animals cannot collectively organise and so conditions never improve. We need an end to inhumane animal treatment and sport and gambling based on their exploitation… like, yesterday. — added 5:46am on 06/11/24 ❧
Striking New York Times tech workers ask people not to play Wordle or other NYT games ↗︎
↳ No one should access anything the NYT, a imperialist afactual genocide supporting rag, publishes at all. But, if you must, at least don’t cross the picket line. — added 2:04am on 06/11/24 ❧
From November 5, 2024:
The average age of U.S. homebuyers jumps to 56—homes are ‘wildly unaffordable’ for young people ↗︎
↳ No way. Fake market designed to exploit and ensure wage slavery, leveraged almost exclusively by the extremely wealthy to get richer, is completely unaffordable to regular folks? — added 1:13pm on 05/11/24 ❧
US Space Force warns of “mind-boggling” build-up of Chinese capabilities ↗︎
↳ Warmongering. And Ars and FT are utterly complicit in it — this is nothing more than drumming up fear to validate military spending instead of, say, healthcare, climate action, and world peace. — added 6:50am on 05/11/24 ❧
Anyone Who Supports Terrorist Organisations Should Be Deported, Swedish Migration Minister Says ↗︎
↳ Western and European nations are all contorting themselves to ban public expression, protest, and desperately cling to their hegemony. This, among many others, is a sign of capitalism’s inevitable decay into fascism — make no mistake, this move is exclusively to support israhell’s actions and expand and protect the colonial project, not to “be rid of terrorists”. p.s. this proposed law is also racist. — added 6:39am on 05/11/24 ❧
From November 4, 2024:
Singing gently to my soul: on youth alienation and precarity under late capitalism ↙︎ — posted 04/11/24, tagged as youth culture, alienation, despotism, olivia rodrigo, work, capitalism.
What the heck do I have in store for you today? Well naturally I have been enjoying pop music and thinking about the “climate” that the youth of today are experiencing...
Downsizing the Australian dream: why families are trading houses with backyards for apartments ↗︎
↳ Bourgeois reporting. Do you think it has to do with the incredible inaffordability of housing? The complete erosion of leisure time for the working class? Massive monetary, climate, and toxic work struggles we face coupled with the growing despotism of the capitalists to force us in to prison cell living has nothing to do with it. Garden go brrr. — added 6:26am on 04/11/24 ❧
‘Death is everywhere’: fears grow that Israel plans to seize land in Gaza ↗︎
↳ You mean the racist, genocidal, maniacal and evil colonial state of israhell that has been indiscriminately bombing children and hospitals in two sovereign nations … is just doing a land grab? Maybe we can hope that this is the mainstream media finally conceding the hegemonic cover of mass murder? — added 6:14am on 04/11/24 ❧
“That is sick!”: Newt Gingrich loses it over ad informing women they can secretly vote for Harris ↗︎
↳ Just about the last person anyone should take a “lesson in morals” from. — added 6:09am on 04/11/24 ❧
From November 3, 2024:
Business execs admit forcing staff back into the office was meant to make them quit ↗︎
↳ No, really? You mean you deliberately make workers lives hell? Just for giggles? So some more privileged or burnt out quit? Despotic capitalists at it again. — added 4:35am on 03/11/24 ❧
There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? ↗︎
↳ Oh my, that sounds dangerously close to some kind of socialism! Or… we could just have no wages, no capitalism, and live free from this oppressive system. — added 4:30am on 03/11/24 ❧
From November 2, 2024:
A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms ↗︎
↳ Here in Australia, this is the future the Liberal party wants — Dutton and his cronies want death. And with our wonderful ratchet system Labor won’t be far behind. Horrible. — added 7:22am on 02/11/24 ❧
The women ‘cancelling out’ their Trump-loving partners’ votes: ‘No one will ever know’ ↗︎
↳ Better yet, no one votes for trump. — added 6:32am on 02/11/24 ❧
From November 1, 2024:
Sweden and Norway rethink cashless society plans over Russia security fears ↗︎
↳ I guess that’s one reason. The other is uh… privacy of citizens? — added 9:26pm on 01/11/24 ❧
