Just went down a rabbit hole. Trying to download an app without signing into Google. How far will your smartphone go to fool you? Imagine the worst-case scenario. It’s much worse. It hides apps, hides downloads, installs fake app icons that redirect you right back to their bloatware ecosystem...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Phony "concern" from the POTUS over the atrocities committed by Israel while simultaneously giving them TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars in aid and military hardware to support their ethnic supremacist project through ethnic cleansing is an American tradition.

This is a big deal. In the coming days, a huge pulse of ocean energy from El Niño is set to reach San Diego and move north. It will raise sea levels here by half a foot or more, and they could stay high for months. It comes just as our tides hit their peak and storm season picks up.

New tech should mean: Shorter working weeks. Earlier retirement. More abundance. More time to actually live. If instead it means mass unemployment while a handful of corporations become unimaginably wealthy, that's not technological progress failing. That's ownership working exactly as designed.

The first two items on BBC News have unsubstantiated claims from Trump and Netanyahu as core parts of their story. This follows a Times of Israel ‘journalist’ on the radio quoting things other people had seen on Facebook. Journalism is dying.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.
A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

It is staggering how Israel continues to kill Palestinians every single day in the Gaza Strip - without a whiff from our MSM. We see the devastation on google map. Israel cannot help itself to continue seeking out Palestinian civilians, then slaughter them with their American drones.

Fiscal rules are targets set by governments to limit borrowing, debt, or deficits over time. They are presented as if they are neutral, technical constraints on what governments can do. In reality, they are arbitrary political choices.
