I'm convinced that finding ways to collect data to feed AI companies is a core aim of the uk govt when crafting policy

This is what peak physical Media looks like.

When Cowman talks about actions & consequences to skirt the fact one of his dog lackeys performed the action of unloading a clip into a person producing the consequence of that person being dead, he is expressing a fascist tenet that their violence can never be subjected to law; only create it.

lads lads im hearing that troops and flags might be purely cynical symbolism exploited by people who don't care about anything except their own right wing politics

I'd been mulling over how the uk was probably going to end up as the usa's aircraft carrier in europe, and I guess some others see that future too

Larry Ellison, the tech billionaire and Trump supporter, has advocated for an AI-built surveillance state; "Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on". Ellison is the Tony Blair Institute's biggest donor.

right-wing concerns about a one world government looking a little overstated these days

From the same paper. These people talk a big game about nationalism and patriotism, but they are actually a fascist international, a movement quite unconcerned with sovereignty as a principle, entirely concerned to promote viscous authoritarian imperialism.

ending the "war on protein" can only be read one way—they're gonna start eating soy

One thing today has shown is that ordinary people who are politically active protesting their Govt, they are far braver than any of the career politicians running the Govt.

And frankly without such brave people, we would not even have the limited rights that we do have.

everyone with countless unplayed steam games had no idea they were preparing for this moment

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

people who dug themselves into a hole complaining that someone is looking down on them

The year politics became brainrot You don’t bring a persuasive argument to a gunfight.

all meaning has collapsed in our post-literate society and i wrote a bunch of useless, useless words about it. read it if you, like me, are one of a diminishing minority who still reads www.theverge.com/policy/84960...

Happy holidays everyone

uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker. uBlock Origin is not just an “ad blocker“, it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Developed by Raymond Hill.

there are more details on the ublock website ublockorigin.com

I'm not one to ask about the technical side of things, so I could be entirely wrong, but when I was looking to swap out FF earlier this year what I read implied that the manifest v3 extension platform meant ublock origin would no longer function on Chrome, and this is what Vivaldi uses also

ublock origin isn't supported by vivaldi. the browser is based on chromium and uses the same extension platform as google chrome

i envision a utopian future for technology, where when you launch your computer there are no more programs, no more browsers, but just 4 buttons that say "Gamble", "Goon", "AI", and "Borrow Money At An Exorbitant Interest Rate"

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

To give human rights only to those tyranny likes is to destroy their very purpose.

To give a schematic overview of the past decade, the ZIRP era empowered Silicon Valley to build wealth and infrastructure equivalent to micro-states, which our neoliberal leaders, allergic as they are to the idea of state intervention, were all too happy to facilitate. (cont.)

A piece I did for a friend's birthday. I love drawing these two!
