AI developers who were willing to cause a hiring crisis and make workers and customers more miserable suddenly shocked their money is coming from unscrupulous military leaders who want just to use it for concentration camps and dubious military strikes.

Fiscal rules are works of fiction. They are as made up as fairy tales are, and yet the Chancellor is asking us to believe that she should manage the economy by complying with them. Why is she so deeply misguided, whilst taking us for fools?

Fiscal rules are works of fiction So, why does Rachel Reeves pretend that she believes in them?

I think where people hang up on our modern Nazis, is on the idea that they cannot be both complete clowns, and legitimate dangers.

You can see it in the use of Signal for war planning. Clowns. Incompetent clowns, because they invited a reporter into the chat group without realizing.

But they have control of the FBI, the CIA, NSA, the American military, ICE, and have demonstrated already their willingness to kidnap innocent people and send them off to lifelong slave labor, without a trial.

The #Incompetence of #DOGE Is a Feature, Not a Bug

A series of mistakes by DOGE shows just how arbitrary & destructive this slash-&-burn strategy can get.

Update: they’ve reportedly reinstated the #antifa hashtag. As well as #noAFD, which was, apparently, also blocked.

Hey FLOSS.social, do you understand that “antifa” stands for “anti fascist?” Do you know what folks who are anti-anti fascist are? That’s right, they’re fascists.

While you’re at it, you might also want to look up what the “F” and the “L” in your name stand for.

If they don’t fix this ASAP, I’d recommend a swift #fediblock by any instance that isn’t fascist.

Attached: 1 image Important edit: Meanwhile, the admin responded and clarified the situation. It was a configuration mistake. #antifa was auto blocked because of spam (if I got this correctly?) and #NoAfD basically for the same reason. The latter, however, wasn't resolved that fast because it has never been reported. Which is believable because it's super German specific. https://floss.social/@admin/114041817627451631 Original: @admin I'm sorry, what?! #Fediverse #Mastodon #FLOSS #antifascism

Elon Musk might think he’s very smart, but his management style – which is controversial in the private sector – is totally alien to the state sector because it relies on the acceptability of failure, and governments must never fail.

Elon Musk hasn’t got a clue how government is meant to work

YouTube

Populists are generally wary of #experts, especially those who work for the government, but #ElonMusk is no man of the people: He is the richest human being in the world, & he runs major companies that rely both on government-provided #expertise & significant government subsidies. As @anneapplebaum wrote, “Musk has made no attempt to professionally audit or even understand many of the programs being cut”—a willful indifference that gives away the game.

If you are staying on a corporate
social media platform because the people you follow are still there, consider others are also staying there because you are still there.

Someone needs to start the move.
Be that person.

Leave X for good.
Leave Facebook forever.
Remember blue skies eventually turn grey.

Embrace the social media that cannot get sold to a billionaire. Embrace the Fediverse 💚
