very late as in the middle-of-the-night capitalism
I’m calling it the gambling stage of very late capitalism.
This is ecocide committed to power Grok. You truly cannot make this dystopic shit up.
Can you imagine you are living your life in a house maybe your parents bought decades ago and all of a sudden you have all these polluting and noisy generators keeping you awake all night. This is dystopian!
Ugh. I'm sorry. The intensity of the land grab is shocking.
People are waking up (literally & figuratively) to the fact that AI is bringing devastation at home & abroad.
“Breathing has become more difficult than it should ever be. This is not an inconvenience—this is a health crisis inside my own home,” said Chestela Farmer, a Southaven resident & mother...“No parents should have to watch their child struggle to breathe & wonder if the air around them is the cause.”
This is ecocide committed to power Grok. You truly cannot make this dystopic shit up.
This is the horrifying xAI "Colossus" Musk has unleashed on the South. "The sound continues through the day & often intensifies at night...making it hard to think clearly & even harder to fall asleep." Solidarity with Devan Jenkins & her neighbors fighting for their community's health & well-being.
"Take our quiz" into the abyss...
You're much taller online.
Trump's necropolitical theater is grotesque.
RFK Jr says: let them eat liver!
😂 Elvis is practically ancient history.
Cafe au lonely, as they say.
DOGE's aggressively regressive politics are an attempt to take us back to a time when LGBTQ people were routinely deemed to be "crazy."
Harrowing story about the Iranian women's football team who have been in Australia for the Asian Cup & who face potentially very serious reprisals upon return to Iran for not singing the anthem in their first game. Yet another example of how sports is always political.

They definitely want to take us back to before 1973 which was the year “homosexuality” was removed from the DSM thanks to activism by the queer community & some psych professionals who were allies. We are seeing right-wing attempts to repathologize LGBTQ life.
Hard to make (queer) slaves without drapetomanic discourses.
That logo says it all.
May I present the 2026 Champion California State Formation Napping team.
Pawfect 10!
DOGE's aggressively regressive politics are an attempt to take us back to a time when LGBTQ people were routinely deemed to be "crazy."
"An American cardinal close to Pope Leo XIV has described a White House video montage mixing Hollywood film clips with real footage of strikes on Iran as 'horrifying' & 'sickening'...
'We lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military.'”

Yes, in a lit survey class at UVA. We had to memorize it in Middle English & my performance was pretty bad. But like you, it often pops in my head this time of year, or at least the first 3 words, “Whan that Aprill”

Horrifying scenes from Tehran as oil depots are on fire, poisoning the environment. As with Gaza, the goal is ecocide, to make Iran unlivable. aje.news/64yl8m?updat...
Laura Kuenssberg is an embarrassment. The epitome of access journalism and all that is wrong with its approach to covering politics.
This is embarrassing from the BBC & Laura Kuenssberg who seem more worried about the “public & serious spat” between Trump & Starmer than the fact that the US & Israel have launched a reckless & unpopular war that threatens to spin out of control. The media drumbeat for war is grotesque.
