Back in 2010, David Graeber wrote, Against Kamikaze Capitalism

This is a quote from that piece.

"Neoliberalism was the system that
managed to convince everyone in the
world that financial elites were the only
people capable of managing or measuring
the value of anything, even as in order to
do so, it ended up promulgating an economic
culture so irresponsible that it allowed those
elites to bring the entire financial architecture
of the global economy tumbling on top of them
because of their utter inability to assess the
value even of their own financial instruments."

Google will build a natural gas power plant and capturing the CO2 emissions. Sounds good, right? One hitch: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, and that's before we start talking about methane. techcrunch.com/2025/10/23/g...

Edward Hopper :
American Locomotive, 1944

Hopper’s American Locomotive captures a moment of quiet anticipation at a train platform—rendered in his unmistakable style of stark light, stillness, and emotional distance.

This striking image was originally commissioned by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and appeared as a full-page advertisement in the February 21, 1944 issue of Life magazine.

This rare example of Hopper’s commercial work blends fine art with wartime industrial promotion, showcasing a bold red streamlined locomotive, timeless architectural geometry, and figures poised for departure. It remains one of the few intersections of Hopper’s iconic realism and American advertising history.

The White House was three buildings connected by two walkways and Trump decided unilaterally to obliterate one of those buildings and one of those walkways to build a ballroom paid for by donations given by companies and people looking to curry favor.

Това и събарянето на Източното крило на Белия дом, което символизира силата на жените на президентите, трябва да сочи много ясна посоката на "развитие" в САЩ. Все едно ни липсват патриархални теокрации.

The 90,000-square-foot ballroom will be 1.6x bigger than the White House itself. 😭

A 3D aerial view of a large white government building — where an orange man lives — surrounded by trees and landscaped grounds. Over the image, a transparent yellow L-shaped structure is superimposed, extending from the side of the main building and covering a portion of the grounds in front. The overlay represents a proposed building addition that is 1.6x bigger than the main building.

Големият късмет на българите е, че тук и "западният" модел на икономическа експлоатация и "източният" модел на патриархална доминация не могат да сработят ефикасно. Бедните хора в други държави са принудени да живеят и в двата модела. 😩
