Just finished Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, an inside account at the top of Facebook. Addictive and highly recommended. It'll make you want to delete all things Meta

“A lot of us went there, I went there, because they killed us and now we’re going to kill them... We’re not only killing them ... we’re killing their wives, their children, their cats, their dogs. We’re destroying their houses and pissing on their graves.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous. I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them. 🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

The world as we knew it has ended. Civilians no longer exist—only “legitimate targets,” only “collateral damage.” The language of war has been stripped of its pretense, Francesca Albanese said fresh off her trip to Ireland. No more illusions of civility, no more performative concern.

“This Is Not a War—It’s a Genocide”: The Brutal Truth No One Wants to Admit
Francesca Albanese calls out the West’s silence: “Israel has killed 20,000 children—yet no EU government has cut ties.” Do civilians no longer exist?

In the photo Luigi is indeed surrounded by bald cops.

A reminder that Musk tried this "if you don't reply, you're fired" routine before and was sued for unfair dismissal www.theguardian.com/technology/a...

When I saw the worst code ever at a bank, my instinct was to rewrite it when someone gave me the best advice: you could rewrite it but no one will thank you and when you introduce a bug, they'll want to know why you did it. I cringe at how cocky I was as a programmer in my twenties

This morning I woke up to news that the richest man in the world— the unelected oligarch tearing down our government—retweeted a grifter’s lies about me. Here are the facts, since I know weirdos from Twitter stalk me here (maybe find another hobby?): 🧵
Grifter Mike Benz shares falsehoods about Nina Jankowicz's work.
In one screenshot, he falsely claims she runs "an internet censorship project in london." In the second screenshot, Benz, who obsessively checks Jankowicz's bluesky feed, posted a screenshot of her reaction to USAID's illegal shutdown by Elon Musk. Both screenshots are posted with the commentary "Update: The Censorship Squad is crashing out over losing the USAID taxpayer gravy train that funds their censorship work." Elon Musk retweets Benz, writing "How the tables have turned."

New: Mark Zuckerberg was warned he'd die in prison. Tim Cook said those who led the "shameful" insurrection "should be held to account." Google's founder said he was "deeply offended" by Trump's first win. Now all have fallen in line, giving $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund wapo.st/3PzjIC1
Chart showing Big Tech donations to inaugural committees
After giving sparsely to the swearing-in festivities of Donald Trump in 2017 and Joe Biden in 2021, some of the biggest tech giants have donated $1 million each to President-elect Trump’s inaugural fund.

Just reading old newspapers... as one does, when I found this gem from the Chicago Sunday Tribune from 1900. It's about the weapons of offence and defence used by women in one year in Chicago according to police records. www.newspapers.com/article/chic...
