Trump is, if anything, a loser. (@djrothkopf.bsky.social, on the other hand, is cool and definately worth listening to)

AI does not make business sense, yet. At the moment it is just afloat because Big Tech corporations but their Big Money in it. But when investers want to see profits... 🤷 Especially now is the time for public sector to be awake: it might turn out more expensive than you think!

The Netherlands is making a bid for Pride to be formally recognised by UNESCO as cultural heritage, which would give it enhanced status under international law, making it less likely to be banned or retricted. Will you sign a pledge to support this? campaigns.allout.org/pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
UNESCO: Recognize Pride as cultural heritage
Pride could join UNESCO's list of the world's living cultural heritage – but none of the 800+ traditions on it are LGBT+ yet. Add your name to change that.

It's not just that the GOP accepted the Tate brothers. They promoted and normalized these rapists Republicans made them heroes. Now Andrew and Tristan Tate have over 12 million followers on social media And the worst part is, they're just a small part of the mainstream MAGA brand
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 4d agoHowever horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.

Hear hear! "The EU should call out this hypocrisy and not capitulate. It should impose reciprocal tariffs on goods produced in the US states that use prison labour most extensively."

Kenties tähän tulee muutos, sillä tämä kausi on ollut poikkeuksellinen monin tavoin. Ei vain ne rasismikohut yms. vaan myös piittaamattomuus perustuslaista, ylikansallisesta sääntelystä ja sen valvontaelinten tulkinnoista ja suosituksista. Näin ylimielistä runnomista ei lähihistoriassa ole ollut.

EU Ministers discuss Schengen this week over a crisis that never threatened Europe's free-movement area: no one leaves Ceuta without a border check. Instead, the EPP & far-right allies use this manufactured crisis whose price was paid by real lives to attack Spain's different stance to migration.

Susan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE. This is how Collins wins in Maine. Dems must go on offense on ICE to thwart this scam. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

She voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding. But now she’s taking credit for a new bodycam commitment from ICE. Democrats can’t let her get away with this.
