From the AV Club:

An official plot synopsis reads:
Willy Wonka (Waititi) has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars (not the chocolate kind) for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew…
This sounds gut wrenchingly forced, like shoving grain down the necks of geese, but Netflix subscribers are the birds. However, like all #Crapitalism these days, they don’t care what viewers think, just how pumped their key investors are about more remakes and reboots.

The Fossil Fuel System Is Collapsing – and Taking Civilisation’s Safety Net With It:

It’s not like we haven’t been shooting this from rooftops for decades now. They just choose not to listen and pursue short term profits instead. #crapitalism #climatechange

The Fossil Fuel System Is Collapsing – and Taking Civilisation’s Safety Net With It

The Iran war is accelerating an irreversible breakdown of a system on which every hospital, harvest and factory depends - and only a rapid transition to energy superabundance can save us, argues Nafeez Ahmed, Divyesh Desai and Sandrine Dixson-Decleve

By definition capitalism is evil in the moral sense as chaos is seen as an opportunity to profit

So, it seems that the push toward efficiency is to benefit capitalists. Things used to take a long time to be made, and a long time to break (if at all). Make more things faster and cheaper means some CEO is making money, while the crappy products leave lasting pollution, and need to be replaced often, meaning CEO makes more money. That's #Crapitalism in a nutshell!

@aral @ocean hahaha, this!

Reminds me of a family expression, translated something like: "He* came floating to the top by a lack of weight".

*) It is always a "he", that's just observed reality.

Testing suggests Google’s AI Overviews tells millions of lies per hour:

Automated systems that tell lies, based on a core lie that #TechBros have told themselves and are forcing on humanity; that their wealth and power means they can do no wrong. We will all suffer for it. #ai #tech #crapitalism https://arstechnica.com/google/2026/04/analysis-finds-google-ai-overviews-is-wrong-10-percent-of-the-time/

Testing suggests Google's AI Overviews tell millions of lies per hour

Is 90 percent accuracy good enough for a search robot?
