fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I'd love to see you collaborate with Naomi Klein under some guise.

fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 31/08/2025The party is still ultimately to blame for not brandishing the power needed to combat billionaires because their neo liberal policies conceded so much power. Hopefully the infighting can find stability soon and there's a strong clear leftist movement by midterms. 000
fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Ok, it's pretty depressing to realize the spectrum of influence that one billionaire has, both funding a dark money network and a philanthropic residency. While I think these things function differently, perhaps the article could have taken a less condemning tone. 200
fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Why pay influencers €8000 a month to become student dems when you can pay professional journalists, filmmakers and labour leaders to become influencers?

fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Still thinking about this @eurogamer.bsky.social and @digitalfoundry.bsky.social collaboration about the power consumption of modern consoles.

fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 12/05/2025The only reason we should feel increasingly threatened is because of HQ's and data centres that have inflated our GDP. That makes them a liability that we're protecting while they get tax breaks. We should tax wealth. Apple could still wash app revenue through, but pay a premium on the footprint. 000
fintang.bsky.social @fintang.bsky.social · 12/05/2025I love the revelation here that Sinners was supposed to open with the farmhouse scene. It compromises vampire logic a bit, instead opening with the corrupting power of music.
