The always volcanic, and by far the best communicator of the intricacies of modern day technology, business and society, basically a modern Messiah, @pluralistic, wrote this article on AI (https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/pop-that-bubble/) that sincerely draws a dark situation upon us; makes me sick.
The big problem it's not that these big corps try to get away with murder, they always did, that's the human dark side, you try to phagocytize all. The problem is the ease with which these days they make it, under the sun.

How? You don't have to hunt for good news. When you see someone posting something positive, you can boost. Or add a reply a la "I like!", "Good!", "Thank you for that!". Really. Just that short comment shows appreciation and encouragement. And costs you next to nothing. Just do it ;)

Someone told me that what the world needs most right now is another podcast, and by the time I figured out that person was being facetious, it was too late.

Announcing the launch of "KOHN'S ZONE: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom About Education and Kids." (Three episodes are available, and new ones will drop every 2 weeks.)
I invite you to listen and to spread the word!

On direct action.
He said this in 2018, but this is exactly what is happening in the UK with the Labour Government and elsewhere

The thing that makes public transit in cities like NYC work is that you don’t need to know the schedule; you just show up and you know something will come along shortly. When I lived in Oxford the buses to London ran every 5 minutes.

Anyway, I have to wait 45 minutes for my SEPTA train.

On that note, some words from Bruce Springsteen, as shared by our @CultureDesk. "The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed, are the people, you and me," said the Boss at a show in Manchester, U.K. Here’s the video of his many anti-Trump remarks at the show.

#BenCohen from #BenAndJerrys disrupts #RFKjrHearing and was violently removed from hearing along with other protesters as he said,' Congress pays for bombs that kill citizens in #Gaza 🇵🇸... '

If I'm wrong correct me, but if I heard it correctly on #DemocracyNow, the rest of his statement was about how Congress kills citizens in Gaza whilst allowing #Medicaid cuts to kill people in the U.S.

If there's anyone in the United States who knows a person working for the #CapitolPolice, sternly tell them that it's the #farright U.S. Nazi Party and their #MAGAMorons (#J6) who are their enemies, not unarmed 74 year old Ben Cohen and unarmed protesters!

If my granddad were treated like Cohen, I'd give what-for!
