Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“In financial markets, a bubble occurs when the level of investment in an asset becomes persistently detached from the amount of profit that asset could plausibly generate,” Jared Bernstein and Ryan Cummings write in a guest essay. “A.I. investment fits that pattern.”

Opinion | The A.I. Bubble Looks Real

The A.I. boom is likely a speculative bubble. Like the dot-com bust and the housing crisis, its pop is going to hurt.

Apparently there’s a new influx of people joining Bluesky. I think they should all follow @bloodwork.show (and listen to it) or be banned permanently.

This rhetorical posture "my opinion is based on having considered the complex issue from every angle, you're just a shallow simpleton" is just a boast.

And it's dishonest. Are the issues really that complex if only one reasonable position can be identified after considering them?

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

Jesus Christ why is the presenter not intervening? If someone was getting that aggressive in any kind of meeting, I’d expect the chair to step in. Never mind on National TV.

Well, not that I live there, but I dearly hope the Green Party of England and Wales thump Labour in the elections, or at least cause them a great deal of damage. The Starmer/McSweeney project is contemptible and they deserve to lose. No one should vote for them.
