lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to

Trump regime wants to force ALL visitors to the U.S. to install government-controlled spyware on their phones, and submit detailed personal data -- even DNA, apparently -- to the authorities.
(If they're trying to wreck tourism, including the World Cup, this is the way.)

Last night someone asked "If Hollywood is so fucking 'woke', why do we NEVER see this plot" with regard to abortion.
Hollywood operates under the same white Christian patriarchal norms shaping most other US industries; they're financed by the same venture capital and investment banks.
You only have to note how the percentage of women directors and the percentage of spoken lines by women have remained stubbornly south of 50% to understand why abortion hasn't been normalized in US cinema.

Kittay! Ur doin it wrong!
When it comes to cooking, my spouse is a bit of a germophobe and tends to prefer a plastic cutting board that can be cleaned in the dishwasher. I am more of a microplasticphobe and thus prefer wooden cutting boards that I clean with hot water, soap, and a brush.
Whose phobia is more in line with the current state of science?
Edit: Thanks everyone, I got plenty of helpful replies! See thread below for a very insightful link.

If a trillion dollar corporation can effectively up-end a power user's life in an instant, with no recourse, imagine what they can do to an average user. I feel for this person, I really do.
But we as users need to stop implicity trusting these companies with our livelihoods and begin taking back control.

For those in the US doing holiday shopping, you have a couple more days to order from my store and receive your items by Christmas! Stickers and prints should arrive in time if ordered by December 17, other items should be ordered in the next day or two 💝
Sometimes the smallest details can make the most difference.
The new Loops For You algorithm requires the latest version of Redis with Bloom Filter support.
We care a lot about user (and admin) experience, and made it easy to enable this feature, while carefully validating the system requirements first.
Torment Nexus seeks to increase the extent of our compliance with the local regulations, wherever we operate.
We do this by adjusting the practices of the decision-makers at the applicable enforcement bodies, and those of the relevant legislators.

By now, everyone should know that when center-left political parties adopt right-wing policy positions, the right-wing voters they’re trying to appeal to will ignore the milquetoast version and vote for right-wing parties instead.
Reactionaries don’t want a watered-down version of reaction! They want the real deal!
“In contrast to much public debate, we find that more authoritarian/nationalist and more anti-EU positions are if anything associated with lower rather than greater electoral support for social democratic parties.”
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13501763.2019.1701532
Something else that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should is the fact that left-coded political policies—higher minimum wages, stronger unions, higher taxes on the rich, more robust social safety nets—are actually really popular with the public in places like the US:
So when US Democrats or UK Labour tack right to try to capture vote share from their reactionary opponents, they’re making really, obviously foolish choices.
We’re left to conclude that these parties are either really, catastrophically bad at politics, their entire reason for being, or that their leaders genuinely prefer reactionary policies, want reactionary parties to win, and prefer support by right-wing voters over appealing to the left.
