AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees | The Jerusalem Post
Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · last mo.In my opinion hardwood Democrats who don't want to be replaced shouldn't have sucked shit for so long without listening to everyone screaming at them about it. We need to see so many of them replaced in so many primaries. Every time it happens is cause for hope and should cheer people everywhere.
I made a little site that asks users to rate nouns positively, negatively, or neutral after recording their political affiliations take a look & rate nouns so it gets to some level of statistical significance www.nounspectrum.com

we don't have nearly enough progressives fighting hard for the kinds of policy changes that support families. Universal free childcare, UBI, universal parental leave. We leave it to the conservatives to discuss and then the conversation becomes a very different and much more condescending one
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 7mo agoit frankly is kind of taboo to discuss these questions on the left, but this piece also doesn't get into the actual most promising policy ideas (limiting smartphone and social media use to the greatest possible extent) www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...
So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end
this would be highly relevant if the republicans cared about the truth
Dr Yannick Veilleux-Lepage@yveilleuxlepage.bsky.social · 7mo ago🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

this is a brilliant observation that might even be taken a step further: *only* the ignorant are able to perceive the truth. expertise is seen as shackling one to the realm of accepted knowledge, which by virtue of not explaining everything completely is seen as false it is a gnostic ignorance
Philip Bump@pbump.com · 7mo agoAn essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
