No wonder the resident Trump propagandist at CBS didn't want us to see this. It is horrific and shows how deeply lawless and depraved the Trump/Miller administration is.

Worth revisiting this @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social piece in light of the Waymo meltdown over the weekend.
Automated vehicles ignore social contracts and are only beholden to their corporate bosses. Humans are much better equipped to deal with unforeseen situations, and to prioritize human values.

This articulates my exact feelings about San Francisco, the tech industry, & the entire social crisis of Capitalism we are all facing. Ms. Solnit writes with fierce precision & grace, connecting the dots with damning evidence rather than hyperbole.
Essential reading.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

What Trump’s inexplicable plan to mine the Mariana Trench could mean for the Pacific
OPINION: The lack of proven commercially viable ores, the immaturity of crust mining technology and the potential to harm marine life make this a foolhardy endeavor, Andrew D. Thaler writes.
