When insurance coverage for her husband’s lifesaving care was denied, Teressa didn’t stand down. She fought back and won.

She found the secret to winning buried deep in her insurance coverage booklet.

THEY WANT US SILENT. We’re turning up the volume. 🔊

Corporate bullies are weaponising the legal system with predatory lawsuits (SLAPPs) to silence anyone speaking out for the public good.

Javier Bardem and Yasmin Finney have joined forces with the Greenpeace network to expose this playbook of intimidation.

“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water & people buy it from us on a meter.”

- Sam Altman

As someone whose books were taken without permission to train OpenAI, I have a problem with this.

How can a company claim to own work it didn’t create & sell it back to us?

Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills

"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

Finally, Citizens United comes to its logical conclusion.

A judge in Delaware, where many big U.S. companies are incorporated, ruled ‌on Tuesday that a small town that allows corporations to vote in municipal elections was not violating the state's constitution.

You might think that Marco Rubio's family fled Cuba bc of Fidel Castro given all the propaganda

But his family fled during the rule of US backed dictator Batista

Again, you might think the same thing for the US politician Ted Cruz, he has said it, but in reality, again his family fled US backed dictator Batista

This pattern repeats

Like many US politicians, these people are just con-men who care nothing for the Cuban people or their rights to choose their own political and economic systems

Made me smile...

Google I/O showed how the industry has seized upon LLMs as the "future" of software. But that couldn't be further from the truth! It is an intensification of the old way. The same features as before, only MORE and FASTER.

It's the same mediocre vision execs have had for 40 years: give customers more tasks to do on your platform, sell them tools to solve the problems you created.

But the conditions that made this business model possible are collapsing.

AI is not the future of software development, but the last dying gasp of the past

The industry has been building careers and business models around solving the very problems it created. But the conditions that once made this possible are breaking down.

GROUND PRIVATE JETS.

If political leaders really want to protect people in this fossil fuel dependency crisis, they should start by tackling the most wasteful fuel use.

Ordinary drivers and communities should not be hit hardest while luxury emissions carry on as usual.

🚨FYI on what went down Mon in Newark, #NewJersey at the #Dilley Detention Center where #detainees are on a hunger strike to protest conditions.

NJ pols (all #democrats) showed up to support detainees and protesters, incl Gov #MikieSherrill - denied entry to Dilly - and #AndyKim who was there when #ICE, damn them, got aggressive.

Andy was trying to defuse the situation & they pepper sprayed him anyway! Let that sink in: ICE gassed a sitting US Senator. 😡

BWAHAHAHA! So true. I've been following the Inland Empire resisters' work and there is zero chance this douche keeps his seat, whatever he calls himself.
