To whoever wins the Super Bowl this weekend: I don’t care and I had nothing to do with it. Please leave me out of your Thank Yous.
"Trump's a plunderer. He was elected by the plunderer class – like the crypto bros who want to run wild, transforming workers' carefully shepherded retirement savings into useless shitcoins, while the crypto bros run off with their perfectly cromulent "fiat" money. Musk is the apotheosis of this mindset, a guy who claims credit for other peoples' productive and useful businesses, replacing real engineering with financial engineering."

Pluralistic: “The Fagin figure leading Elon Musk’s merry band of pubescent sovereignty pickpockets” (07 Feb 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

This can’t be the same brain I was using to read 750-page novels in three days during middle school.

Finally! Canadian politicians have had enough of Trump. Here is Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, telling the orange clown what he is made of.

Ouch! 💥

@pluralistic I'm happy to support you for a fifth time for your DRM-free audiobooks. The Marty Hench books have been great so far and I'm always happy to have Wil Wheaton reading the words in my ears.

As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors

The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

The Forward
Imagine walking up to someone 15 years ago and going
"Hey, in the future Google will just flat out make shit up sometimes"
"What"
"Yeah, like there will be a time where you can search for a movie that doesn't exist, and it'll show you trailers, articles discussing it, who's directing it, interviews from the actors, and all of it will just be completely fake and presented as real"
"What the hell are you talking about"
"Yeah and it won't just be Google either, Microsoft and other big companies will be touting it as a revolution worth billions of dollars, as their products make shit up on the spot thousands of times a day"
"Dude, are you high"
"Entire product lines will be rebranded around their lightning fast make-shit-up technology, and they'll even try to sell this making shit up as a creativity tool for writers and artists"
​ "Get the fuck away from me, I'm calling the police"
This. This right here. This is the take.
This is Elon Musk now
