You wonder why they'd want to defund NOAA. Then you find out about the provision in the budget bill that would freeze enforcement of state enacted AI protections for 10 yrs. Then you hear about selling AI weather prediction tools to insurance companies. #followthemoney

Let's talk about unnecessary plastic waste. This was the tape wrapped around a box – that was already glued together and didn't need any of it – that I had to pull off to get it ready for composting. It's ridiculous. Why are we doing this? #tape #plastic #waste #compost

Three protesters hold signs on the sidewalk near the entrance to an electric utility office. Duct tape covers their mouths, to symbolically represent their feeling that they and other co-op members are being silenced by leadership. The signs read, "No Q/A. What are you afraid we'll say?" "Let the members speak today!" and "This is not a co-op. This is a Kingdom!"

Google's strategy in a nutshell: 1. We have a good product that works well! 2. We've got a competitor. 3. We buy the competitor. 4. Force our users into the product we bought. 5. Do away with everything that made our competitor unique. 6. Release a product worse than both originals. 7. PROGRESS!!

Selling an escape from the drudgery of life under capitalism might be the most late-stage capitalism take I've seen. (Today, at least. There's always tomorrow to bring fresh disappointment.)
pcgamer.com
According to David Fincher's new Xbox ad with an extremely late '90s/early 2000s vibe, you can escape capitalism by buying Xbox games
Do not underestimate the power of Xbox, I guess.

Some drive-by photography of Morehead, Kentucky's April 5 "Hands Off" protest. #HandsOff #Protest #Morehead #Kentucky
Protesters with umbrellas and raincoats hold signs in the rain while a man in duck cloth overalls looks curiously on as he passes in the background. 
One sign reads "Hands off schools," another "Insist, resist, persist," and a third reads "No one is illegal on stolen land," with Native American iconography. Protesters with umbrellas stand in the rain. One holds a sign that reads, "Hands Off! Cancer Research" the other holds a rain streaked homemade sign that reads, "Hands off Human Rights."
