If you're wondering why Trump is all of a sudden pushing AI and dismissing concerns about its safety as a "hoax," just look at his stock trades.

This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding. It is true. It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true: 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

Changes to Canada's climate now 'irreversible,' federal report says
The impacts of climate change in Canada are now largely irreversible and average temperatures are expected to rise by at least 3.5 C by the end of the century, a new government report warns.

Proposal to change the name of "wildfires" to "prosperity fires". That way when @mark-carney.bsky.social announces another pipeline he can use the phrase "your children will choke on the ashes of a thousand burning prosperity fires". Sounds more hopeful.

Elon Musk no longer has a need for Trump. Musk has become a multinational corporation and has no allegiance to any country or person or species. He is Ubermensch and Ubernational. Trump used Musk. Musk used Trump better. Still willing and able to distort reality as needed.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

They want you to feel hopeless and believe that nothing can improve.
"Hopelessness isn’t natural.
It needs to be produced. 

If we really want to understand this situation, 
we have to begin by understanding that for 
decades we have seen the construction 
of a vast bureaucratic apparatus for the 
creation and maintenance of hopelessness, 
a kind of giant machine that is designed, 
first and foremost, to destroy any sense 
of possible alternative futures."

We recently published a lesser known article by David Graeber written in 2013 called - Buncombe. Here is the piece and an extract. davidgraeber.org/articles/bun...
"America is a country made possible by hucksterism
and carnival buncombe. It's the birthplace of both 
modern PR and advertising, the first place on earth to 
apply techniques of commercial marketing to politics, 
and a country where, for at least thirty years, the 
economy has been driven by the engine of finance, 
that is, by the magical creation of wealth through 
financial securities and derivatives. When you
consider those U.S companies that still produce 
commodities now devote themselves mainly to 
developing brands and images, you realize that 
American capitalism conjures value into being 
chiefly by convincing everyone it’s there."

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...
“If the police decide to attack a group of protesters, 
they will claim to have been provoked, and the 
media will repeat whatever the police say, no matter 
how implausible, as the basic initial facts of what 
happened. This will happen whether or not anyone 
at the protest does anything that can be remotely 
described as violence. Many police claims will be 
obviously ridiculous but no matter how many times 
the police lie about such matters, the national media 
will still report their claims as true, and it will be up 
to protesters to provide evidence to the contrary. “
