So,am I the only one who is very suspicious of the sudden “oh please big bad government, regulate us” cry from AI CEO’s?Or even more alarming, the “government should have some ownership” cry? Is this fear of ending humans just a Trojan horse to fleece the taxpayers from THEIR bad investment?

New in PN: Democrats in array "The fact is Dems are ready to crawl across broken glass & over fields swarming with velociraptors to defeat the bloated fascist oligarch and his corrupt minions. And Dem politicians are responding to these incentives by focusing their ire on the crime boss president."

#MEpolitics: Anecdata for the skyrocketing health insurance costs in the US: The monthly premium for my employer-provided insurance in 2027 is jumping 44% for a slightly worse “midrange” plan. Make no mistake, these exorbitant costs are in large part due to decades of Republican skullduggery.

Trump might send ballot-snatchers into these 13 states. Each refused to hand over their voter rolls AND each is a battleground that could decide Congress. They should be ready to stop him.

Why does Portland Press Herald identify the writer of this Susan Collins-glazing letter as "Jim Libby" and not "State Sen. Jim Libby (R-Cumberland)"? Lazy? In the tank? Take your pick. And yes, Collins maxed out to his last two campaigns. 73 year-old going around buying loyalty. Sad! #MEpolitics

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!


A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.
