Nuclear power will play a crucial role in Europe’s transition to carbon-free, secure energy production, according to Poland’s secretary of state for strategic energy infrastructure.

The Luddites weren’t backward technophobes. They saw factory owners using tech to degrade their livelihoods and they fought back — first by trying to negotiate, then writing to Parliament, and finally smashing the machines.

As workers today organize and strike over bosses using digital tech to upend their industries, there’s a lot we can learn from the Luddites’ story. I was thrilled to dig into it with @brianmerchant!

Refugee from that other site that is now unhinged and full of extremist nonsense and advertisements for stuff that I never wanted.

If a man is the richest in the world he is still but one man.

Australian, lucky enough to have multinational & multicultural family & friends.

Here someone is challenging my use of pro-fascist to describe the dead bird site. "Pro-fascist? Really?"

Yes, really.

-- Elon personally intervened to get the pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler, anti-semetic Kanye West reinstated.

-- Twitter is a haven for groups like White Lives Matter California, an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group.

-- Musk has threatened to sue researchers tracking hate speech on the platform

-- The dead bird paid Andrew Tate $20k and End Wokeness $10k.

-- It paid $16k to Ian Miles Cheong, a far-right user has used Twitter to falsely identify an innocent Black man as the “number one suspect” in the shooting of two police officers

-- It has paid QAnon influencer Jacob Creech.

-- Elmo has called for the the QAnon shaman who particpated in the Jan. 6 riot to be freed.

-- He has defended the Jan 6 rioters, saying they were peaceful.

-- He reinstated Michael Flynn.

I could go on an on, but I would burn up way too much time because there are so many more examples.

My point is: Twitter most definitely welcomes, encourages and even pays for far-right extremist views that include anti-semitism, support for Hitler and nazis, and support for an illegal riot that saw multiple members of the Capitol Police brutally killed.

I stand by my description of Twitter as "pro-fascist."
