🎉 Oh look, #Microsoft is in hot water again! This time for bamboozling Aussies with their ✨magical✨ 365 subscriptions. Maybe they should try selling boomerangs instead—at least those come back when they go missing! 🤷‍♂️🔄

Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions

The ACCC has commenced proceedings in the Federal Court against Microsoft Australia and its US-based parent company Microsoft Corporation for allegedly misleading approximately 2.7 million Australian customers when communicating subscription options and price increases, after it integrated its AI assistant, Copilot, into Microsoft 365 plans.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995

I was at a random convenience store and they had a shelf of Fuji Pro 400H and Provia 100F in 120 for $5 a roll. After a lovely chat they were more than happy for me to buy the whole stock of about twenty rolls since they never sell them.
I just woke up and I'm quite upset to discover I was literally dreaming of film and there's no stash of Fuji in my fridge 😭

"His mission is to eradicate '#WokeJesus'": How money, lies and religion are abused to gut #democracy

Journalist Katherine Stewart's "Money, Lies, and God" takes readers into Trump's movement to end America

By Amanda Marcotte
Published February 18, 2025

"Money, God and lies: These are the three pillars of the movement that led to Donald Trump's disturbing victory in November. A well-funded #propaganda machine that exploits people's cultural #fears and spiritual yearnings, turning them away from their economic self-interests and toward an #authoritarian movement to end democracy. Katherine Stewart spent months traveling and researching the various people — from far-right priests to atheist #billionaires — who have come together to #bamboozle millions of Americans into backing a political movement that wants to take away their rights and safety.

"In her new book 'Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,' Stewart offers a grounds-eye view of the machine that led so many Americans to vote against themselves and their democracy. She spoke with Salon about her experiences and how it is that disinformation has gotten its hooks into so many Americans."

#Vermont #VTpol environmental policy is a complete disaster, because the Dem/Prog #supermajority in the #VTlegislature lacks sufficient expertise to evaluate the model
legislation proposals written by half-assed special interest lobbying groups masquerading as #environmentalism #NPOs, and #RubberStamp adopts without serious question or analysis the most hare-brained, convoluted schemes to blame everyone but the people doing the actual polluting. It's a political #bamboozle of epic proportions.
