Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.
But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.
Outside of just saying “America” or “Capitalism” How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?
This is horrible. I’m going to download a bunch of these PDFs so that there are less copies available for other dishonest people to download.
I’m doing my part!
"The ex-Peloton chief was forced to downsize twice—including selling a $55 million East Hampton waterfront home and uprooting his family. “My family took it well,” the 53-year-old told the New York Post. “My wife’s super supportive. My kids are probably better for it, if we’re keeping it real.”
Can we burn these fucking people for warmth?
Don’t feel there are many people who actually use the phrase “free speech absolutist” these days, as a forward self-identification, who have much personal integrity or actual understanding of what that phrase might mean.
Also 9/11 on the tv cart and then teacher said, “that’s going to be it for the day, call your parents”
I was your friend
New textbooks have disappearing ink that only lasts, about one semester, until a month before finals, and then in that month they trigger dynamic pricing increases due to a stronger than typical demand…
Weird loser
Seems you probably still do a lot of things you shouldn’t, and then openly boast unprompted as a badge of honor as if anyone cares, huh?
Fucking elon, man. Dude is a cancer.
And if we weren’t a big, broken mess of late stage capitalist hellscape, you or someone you know could have actually benefited from this.
Restaurants don’t take steaks off the menu because they aren’t are profitable as salads. One date wants a salad, the other wants steak, they make less profit on the steak plate, but the average of the two is profit enough.
It’s ridiculous to look at any one service of these behemoth monopolies as an island - They are one collective thought, EVERY SINGLE PIECE does not have to be to enshittified to generate the biggest possible profit.
Grandpa was a ball earthist… It’s a shame we all carry in my family.
On another note, THE GOP JUST FUCKING DECIMATED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE US, DIDN’T THEY? These folks just get to walk around, mid manic episode, pointing rifles at poll workers, licking doorknobs during COVID, injecting bleach and horse paste into their eyeballs, committing January 6th while stabbing cops with sharpened flagpoles and worshipping a compulsive liar and convicted felon who doesn’t know where he is half the time…
We used to have places these folks could go to get help.
Except AI doesn’t say “Is this it?”
It says, “This is it.”
Without hesitation and while showing you a picture of a dog labeled cat.
Towards?
Officer, I’m moving towards sobriety while driving.
An elitist dog whistle built to “other” the “poor” people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or “passing” with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.
Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.
Walled garden, overpriced exploitation of that locked ecosystem ($5000 monitor stand kind of shit), green bubbles/blue bubbles, dominating all tech with their middle of the road/copycat approach where Android was eventually saturated with same type of execs and “gave up” on differentiating until everything was the same sealed back glass rectangle without MICRO SD expansion memory, leading the charge on “brave” feature killing enshitification like removing the headphone jack, plenty more…
KIIS launcher and some others floating, I think Pear launcher maybe for some? Different FOSS options that are decent
Okay, but grow teeth WHERE?
And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:
Another cop
A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.
