How Wall Street Ruined the Roomba and Then Blamed Lina Khan
This week's bankruptcy of iRobot, the maker of the Roomba vacuum, is about more than a robot cleaner. It's about monopolies, Wall Street, and economists leading America on a path of destruction.

My son introduced me to this BBC series from 1978 called Connections, about how interconnected events led to the development of technology and the making of the modern world. It’s absolutely delightful and if you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat

@nytimes.com is the propaganda arm of the ruling elite and you should never forget that.
They’re trying to spin:
1. They sound nostalgic as if they miss the good old days of Epstein trafficking and raping children.
2. They write it in the past tense to help Trump by making it seem like all that was in the past and things are totally different now.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

For the last decade or so I had this notion we were on the run up to another world war, but now I'm wondering if instead were just headed into a Soviet Union style collapse of the United States.

Just in case you had any doubts, here is Chuck Schumer signalling his fealty to the broligarchs that control him.
this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

I prefer the term"feral capitalism", as opposed to what we should be doing, which is"domesticated capitalism".
For the love of God stop calling capitalism “Technofeudalism.” This is not a mutant regression off the track of benign capitalism’s progress to utopia. This is capitalism doing capitalism.
