"One can only imagine the horror the late Iain Banks would have felt on learning his legendary Culture series is a favourite of Elon Musk. The Scottish author was an outspoken socialist who could never understand why rightwing fans liked novels that were so obviously an attack on their worldview"

Excellent from Sam Freedman.

TECHBROTOPIA AMBUSH!

Tomorrow, Suisun City holds a vote on whether to just up and annex 15k acres for that Cursed project.

You know how we were all happy that California Forever simmered down and went quiet for a while? Even they said they were only changing their approach (oh, and the name, again), not slowing down. Well, after just a few weeks' notice (that I didn't hear of till just now, ugh), here comes their next swing:

USA #monopoly #laws are completely outdated thanks to the Republican and Democratic parties #collusion in NOT regulating all the #techbros industries that were taking the place of the #surveillance state they didn’t want to fund directly with the federal budget. which explains the existence of InQTel.

the FTC going after Facebook/Meta and the Iguanazi without acknowledging he only exists thanks the above, IS the problem.

Billionaire that built his empire on IP protections demand now to abandon all IP laws, so he can further exploit the people. (he run's Tidal)

I demand now to abandon all ownership, so I can move into Jacks Villa, since Billionaires want now communism, right?

I'm really tired to hear those entitled people's opinion, as if they are wiser and have an unbiased / not self interested based opinion.

"You don’t need to be a biblical literalist, or even religious, to be an end times fascist. Today, plenty of powerful secular people have embraced a vision of the future that follows a nearly identical script, one in which the world as we know it collapses under its weight and a chosen few survive and thrive in various kinds of arks, bunkers and gated 'freedom cities'."

~ Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
