Zack LabeHave a great week! Here's your Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 2nd lowest on record (JAXA data)...
• about 510,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 910,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,460,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,840,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Randahl FinkI do not think Americans realise the far reaching economic consequences of having elected Donald Trump.
While the Danes have elected a new parliament which may push for less military purchases from the U.S., the citizens of Denmark have now presented two new citizen petitions: One requiring parliament to make it illegal to use Peter Thiel's Palantir AI surveilance software, and another one preventing the use of American technologies in our national health systems.
Welcome to the Trump economy.
Nu Modular@RantingCanuck @coleenwalter Unfortunately, the wealthiest Capitalists have effectively infiltrated educational systems, to further entrench 'single-solve mindsets', that help deter the scalable behavioral ranges required to achieve eloquent civilization.
This is why Democratic Socialist movements are building. It's that 'sustainable middle'.
Lots of potential profit, if you're minimally vested in Middle East energy, and more aligned with Israel and the US. US LNG/fracking benefits greatly from less competition, so... ya know... grift...

Iran war: Tehran threatens retaliation after attack on gas facility | DW News
TaggartDo you think I want to do this?
Do you think I want to be this angry about where technology is going? Screaming every day about a barren future the elites want more than life itself?
I used to love computers. I loved creating with them. I want to again.
This technology steals joy. Don't let it.

So, Trump’s Iran war:
1. Causes big spike in oil prices just as Russian economy reported to be on the verge of collapse, in large part due to low oil prices;
2. Opens India to Russian oil again;
2. Uses weapons that could have helped #Ukraine; and
3. Hurts Americans.
Trump is a Russian asset or very useful idiot.
Trump hit Volkswagen with 25 percent tariffs, and now 50,000 German VW workers will lose their jobs.
European politicians chose to appease Trump. Look what that brought us.

MissConstrueHey, so the creator of OpenClaw, or whatever it's name is this week, has been assimilated into the Borg of OpenAI, which I'm sure was the plan all along.
Do you want to see something fun? Sure ya do. How about a metric fukton of unsecured free roaming bots? Here's a live view of OpenClaw instances brought to you by the STRIKE Research Team at SecurityScorecard.
This is a running landscape of people running these bots from enterprise or personal accounts, unsecured, out there letting threat agents into their systems. It's pants on head crazy.
I doubt I have to say this to the masto crowd, but for the love of all that is 1's and 0's, do not run autonomous agentic "AI" on your personal computer with access to all your stuff. It seems like common sense, but... *points to threat map*
