Peter Thiel is rumored to be a major funding source for Palladium magazine—a glossy rightwing outlet that is aestheticizing technofascism. New ep with Jimmy Wu on his piece “Meet the New Right-Wing Tech Intelligentsia” — recently published at @bayareacurrent.bsky.social — is up now.
for @bayareacurrent.bsky.social, i wrote about repeatedly bumping into some of the worst right-wing people in the tech publishing scene bayareacurrent.com/meet-the-new...

sabotage can't replace labor organizing in tech (indeed some organizing is a precondition for it), but it's a tactic that militants on the inside should take more seriously
We've just published the first response to our call for new organizing tactics in the tech sector, by an anonymous software engineer: The Case for Sabotage collectiveactionintech.substack.com/p/the-case-f...
put on the anti-ideology glasses with @dellsystem.bsky.social's regular column on the goddamn sf billboards
Ever wonder what the hell SF's weird tech billboards are saying? Wendy Liu—@dellsystem.bsky.social—tells us that while the billboards aim to sell to other businesses, they have a hidden social meaning: This city is not for you: SF belongs to tech ruling class. bayareacurrent.com/the-billboar...
LA's Burning Waymos have become symbols for a growing anti-deportation movement. Some cry chaos—but @veenadubal.bsky.social argues that the flaming robo-taxis represent something else: the public’s fury at tech companies' interests trampling the common good. bayareacurrent.com/the-torched-...

it's a crazy time to launch a new publication, but i'm proud to be tech editor for @bayareacurrent.bsky.social, an outlet for working-class stories and perspective we have some bangers already up on the site and many more coming
It’s a BAD DAY for the Bay’s tech and real estate oligarchs, and a VERY GOOD DAY for those of us who pay rent, work shifts, jump the turnstile, argue with the CalFresh guy, and wait forever for the god damn bus. Why? Because @bayareacurrent has arrived. 😈 bayareacurrent.com/why-were-lau...
