Has anyone heard of Framework computers? Are they worth it, easy to use? Do they have a presence on Mastodon?

RE: https://journa.host/@z_everson/117292072322880036 If we ever regain control of our corrupt government, the grift, insider trading of this administration is so blatant, it really shouldn't be hard to lock ALL of these people up for a very very long time. A failure to do so means it will happen again and / or those in power plan to do the same themselves.

WUT! This is what they must mean by #AI #music #fraud. I opened Spotify (reasons, don't judge) and the homepage said "New Release from Whiskeytown." Screenshot below. For those who don't know Whiskeytown was Ryan Adams first band out of Raleigh, NC. He famously kicked the rest of the band to the curb and went solo as soon as he could despite the band becoming extremely successful. So there's a lot of bad blood there still to this day. Clicked the song and it is DEFINITE...

NEW Sylvan Esso!! "Ow ∞ is a trust fall. It’s yes, and – . It exists in spite of – it’s messy and hellish and free, a scotch-tape collage of memories, ephemera, Y2K-era burned CDs and backseat makeouts. It’s an invitation to the party, one riddled with ecstatic joy and failures and second / third / fourth adolescences, cities under water or on fire, our dystopian present and past and future, arms wide open to meet it, to embrace and absorb the Pain, in all its forms, vomited out into somet...

“Rules for thee, but not for me.” North Carolina company fined half a mil for dumping forever chemicals into the Cape Fear River goes “oops, we’re broke, can’t pay” and gets away with it. No jail time, no repercussions. Do you need any more proof we live in an #oligarchy where rich corporations pollute as they please? Imagine if you had a court fine and said you weren’t able to pay…you’d be locked up so fast it would make your head spin. #corporatocracy

Anyone who says they do not support these two things IS NO LEADER. Just an establishment stooge. (Can’t quote post this because it’s a bridged Bluesky post, so screenshot instead.)

This is why I read @pluralistic@mamot.fr He's so good at succinctly summing up important high-level concepts and then connecting them with the current problems we face. #capitalism #wealth #oligarchy

RE: https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru/117006488074722424 This #AI bubble bursting is going to be catastrophic. And the government better not give one cent of my money for any bailouts. Let them fail. We’ll be better off if these companies go under.

RE: https://mas.to/@BruceMirken/116975848636722550 Why do Republicans hate Americans and want us to die? Serious question. Not joking. So many of these regulation rollbacks lead directly to people dying. Is it really as simple as eliminating any kind of regulation and oversight on corporations so they can squeeze labor? Is that really it? No matter how bad the optics, they keep doing it, so it must mean they are absolutely convinced they will never be prosecuted or suffer any consequences.

@mcnado@mstdn.social And yet nothing seems to be able to stop him or his unpopular policies. If he rules with impunity, that's a dictatorship. The midterms will be telling. They will either happen and instigate change, or the Republicans and Trump will find a way to disrupt, nullify, or corrupt them so as to make them ineffective.

We need more things like this. The opportunity cost of war is insane. We could literally give every single person in this country a home, food, and healthcare with the amount of money we spend on war and munitions.

This is what the Democratic party doesn't understand. Their base WANTS politicians who speak their mind and tell it like it is. There isn't a single Corporate Democrat willing to sit down as say this plainly. And these are all verifiable facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip_zLWJLbxk #Israel #Palestine #Mamdani #genocide #ICC #netanyahu
