As a Mx, I ffing hate the gringation of Día de Muertos. The parades were an invention of a Bond film (cool, its fiction). But that is not what the day is about. As a cultural historian I know traditions change, but this is being pushed as a tourist attraction, to fulfill gringos image of Mx. FU

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown. www.citationneeded.news/2026-electio...
Crypto and AI’s $250 million election goes sideways

Robert Heinze@rheinze.eurosky.social · 2w agoI’m thinking along another line, historically: the scandal around Yambo Ouologuem, who was accused of plagiarism because he employed a style that white, European authors would later adopt in pop literature - quoting and collating from a range of works to make something new.

The argument in that article falls a bit flat for me because Oréliens style is very different from the stereotypes of Caribbean literature, and no one seems to discuss that.

THIS. The state continues to be fused with Musk, our satellites are his, and no amount of being blue will eradicate his influence if our reps don’t disentangle infrastructure from him.

Maybe some critical systems should NOT be connected. Unsure why a bunch of folks are making the recent fridges hacks just about "AI safety". Like, yes, regulate the shit out of "AI" (ie. dismantle the big "labs") ,but regulate the IT industry at large.
it's not that Dems and leftists need to be assholes, or dirtbags. It's that we have to end the bogus and self-defeating worship of civility. Uncivil people don't deserve civility. When someone advocates for politics of bigotry, cruelty and murder the proper response is to fuck them up.

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.
