Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

They realized they needed to make the main question straightforward and it was going to lose, so the backstop is "well 'remain in Canada' won, but people have a lot of concerns about borders and the only way to strengthen our borders is to separate"

So, it's been about one month since Macklemore got dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour and my Macklemore video got a big bump from the news, I'm donating the extra revenue from it (about $400) to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (pcrf.net) and hey, maybe you want to also

PCRF

The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

"rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary"

Screenshot from Tumblr:
First, Tumblr user stopsignsworstenemy says, "i was going to do a rant about this before seeing this tweet but imma just leave this here" and shares a Bluesky screenshot from Sam (ABeardedPanda) which reads:
I have to say this leftist tendency to believe that if anyone profited anywhere from something it becomes inherently morally wrong is the dumbest shit in the world and is just arguing that perfect is the enemy of better.

Bluesky user Starfish Who Can't Thin... quote-skeets and adds:
Rainbow capitalism was good because the alternative we got wasn't rainbow socialism but "the guy who runs around being physically violent until Target removes all the gay stuff wins."

Tumblr user arrows-for-pens "peer reviews" and quotes hashtags from Tumblr user @runawaymarbles:
#been saying for years #rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.

Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET

As the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”
