From Sly Comics:

Apropos of nothing, this is the gear crate Prince had rigged up so that he could hide inside and get wheeled around Paisley Park discreetly when necessary.

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want

Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Siempre hay que escuchar a Nieves Concostrina @NConcostrina, ella habla muy claro. Aasi lo hizo recogiendo el Premio Público de Periodismo. Por la República y la civilización.

Dedicado a mentirosos como: ANA ROSA, ANTONIO FERRERAS, EDUARDO INDA, PABLO MOTOS, CARLOS HERRERA, IKER JIMENEZ, VICENTE VALLES, MARHUENDA, FEDERICO JIMENEZ LOSANTOS. y un largo etc. de mentirosos que no son ni periodistas ni son nada, son vividores traidores del periodismo y la información..

I'm the public and I didn't WANT them to clean up the cool murals, so who exactly cost me my money?

...but of course the bible is true and accurate.

In America, one health care company can own: Your doctor Your pharmacy Your insurance AND the middleman between your pharmacy and insurance. That means more profits for giant companies and higher costs for you. That's not right — and I have a bill to stop it.

Viva Vox. Viva Franco. Esto es lo que gritaban los dos energúmenos que han apaleado en Benialí (Alicante) a un grupo de niñas de 14 años porque dos de ellas son pareja. 🤔

Flying under the radar, the UN is working on a draft treaty aimed at allowing countries to tax tech giants based on where their users are located, rather than where the companies are headquartered. This would be a hit-tax-dodgers-on-the-head revolution. #GoodMorning, everyone. [Further reading ⬇️]

Ban social media for under-16s and the problem is solved? Not remotely. The government may be regulating young people while ducking the much harder task: regulating the tech giants and the harmful content they profit from.

Regulating the symptom, ignoring the cause

The Economist personal hit pieces are surely just embarrassing for them. What is it about wealth taxes, rent controls and water nationalisation that they're so keen to stop progress? It's time to tackle the climate crisis & end Rip Off Britain.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

why am I not shocked that @rogermcshane.bsky.social contends @economist.com that abdul el-sayed is a “relatively weak candidate”? so much attention from certain news outlets could suggest the democrat from michigan must have hit some kind of nerve…
