"The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to
generate profits that are mathematically impossible."

Carl Sagan called it over 30 years ago. And the saddest thing is that too many under 30 don’t even know what the fuck he was talking about. For the very reasons he was talking about. #WASF stzl.ink/9wjruk
Reminiscent of Carl Sagan's prescient fear/warning.

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Screenshot of a Haaretz article with the headline "As an Israeli Filmmaker, Thank You to Everyone Who Is Boycotting My Works" and the subheading "There is no doubt that the cultural boycott of Israel will harm not only the fascists, but also good and courageous people. So what? This is a small price to pay to end a genocide"

Every union that worked on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and works with Disney, Sinclair Broadcasting, and Nextstar should strike. Just shut it all down. No one’s jobs are safe when corporations put appeasing fascists over workers and their constitutional rights.

I am on Charlie Kirk's hit list.

His so-called “Professor Watchlist,” run under the
umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a
digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to
power. | landed there in 2024 after writing
commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And
once my name went up, the harassment machine
roared to life.

For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged.
Mostly white men spat venom through the phone:
“bitch,” “c*nt,” “n****r” They threatened all manner of
violence.

They overwhelmed the university's PR lines and the
president's office with calls demanding that | be fired.
The flood was so relentless that the head of campus
security reached out to offer me an escort, because
they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step
out of his basement and come do me harm.

And | am not unique.

Kirk's Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors
across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer
scholars, basically anyone who challenged white
supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism
suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated
abuse.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

I don't care about Charlie Kirk's death. He said School shootings and gun deaths are worth it. That women should submit to their husbands. That black people shouldn't vote, and Gays shouldn't marry. He said mentally ill people and trans people should be institutionalized. I swear some of y'all […]

Dear Journalists: You keep reporting that Trump "lowered" the tariffs planned for Japan et al to 15 percent (from the announcements of much higher numbers). When you do, you play into his propagandists' hands. He RAISED tariffs from ~2% -- that is, more than 7 times the previous level.

The people throwing the Nazi salutes and the systemic targeting of vulnerable communities aren't what bother me the most. They're awful, don't get me wrong. But what truly bothers me is the people who downplay these things, who tell us it's not so bad, that see fear of all of this as unjustified.

Examples of newly permissible speech on Facebook and Instagram highlighted in the training materials include:
"Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit."
"Gays are freaks."
"Look at that tranny (beneath photo of 17
year old girl)."
The changes are part of a broader policy shift that includes the suspension of the company's fact-checking program. The goal, Meta said Tuesday, is to "allow more speech by lifting restrictions."Overall, the restrictions on claims of ethnic or religious supremacy has been eased significantly. The document explains that Meta now allows “statements of superiority as long as the statements do not refer to inferiority of another [protected characteristic] group (a) on the basis of inherent intellectual ability and (b) without support.” Allowable statements under this rule include “Latinos are the best!” and “Black people are superior to all others.” Also now acceptable are comparative claims such as “Black people are more violent than Whites,” “Mexicans are lazier than Asians,” and “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians.” Off-limits, only because it pertains to intellectual ability, is the example “White people are more intelligent than black people.”
