What, the VC funded tech firm makes lots of noise about not being evil before eventually just becoming evil yet again pattern? Yeah I don’t like it either.

News corp. They’re the single most effective driver of fascist influence in the 21st century among the politically passive part of the population. Everything that all these other companies do is underpinned by News Corp outlets like Fox, The Sun, etc. justifying, equivocating, scapegoating and propagandising.

They’re all going to bluesky because for some reason as soon as social media gets involved, the wonderful human ability to pattern match just gets switched off.

South Korea should try out the people’s razor on this one, just to make sure execution is still bad.

Part of the problem is that highly partisan rightwingers were imposed on the BBC by the Conservatives. It speaks to Keir Starmer’s mortal weakness that he has not sought to replace them with unbiased figures.

In other words, the BBC behaves much like Starmer’s government: appeasing critics on the right and far right, while suppressing the left.

I don’t think Starmer has much of a “mortal weakness” here, he’s just right wing and winning.

The slow way, liberal incrementalism, is seemingly getting us authoritarianism not just in the US but in much of Europe as well. Not to mention the liberal incrementalists broadly seem to have stopped bothering to, you know, increment.

The billionaires are in a cartel with Trump and Musk at the helm.

I think there’s a bit of a political drive to try to label chronic conditions as “lifestyle” diseases tbh, hence the loose definitions.

I’m trying to generally distance myself from all the VC sprouted billionaire former ‘startups’. They’re a disease. Those smug faces as they turn what they promised to be ‘good’ into a company that develops autonomous killing machines. All those smug bastards at the inauguration, happily paying the deposit to cash in on fascism. Unfortunately Google out of all of them has the deepest claws in me I think, android phone (Apple is in the same club/cartel imo so not much help), gmail, etc.
