JFC. I feel like just picking random people to serve in government would result in better outcomes. Politics attracts and rewards the worst kind of people.
This week, the trump EPA approved 3 “forever chemical” pesticides for use on food crops - diflufenican, epyrifenacil and trifludimoxazin.
The EPA also approved new uses of the PFAS pesticide bifenthrin, the first food use of chlormequat and the non-PFAS fluorinated pesticide fluoxapiprolin.
2 PFAS pesticides were approved earlier - cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram.
PFAS = perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
MAHA or $$?

Like in particular, https://sockpuppet.band/blog/121-On-Spotify-and-listening-to-and-collecting-music#121_h4_13_Spotify: "My goal in this post isn’t to encourage musicians to leave Spotify. My goal is to get listeners to do so. It’s the listeners who make Spotify money, and that money goes to terrible places."

We worry about cognitive capture, what the LLMs of big tech are doing to our ability to identify and think through problems. We should be equally worried about them making a grab for our ethos, what we care about, and at population scales.

Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.
Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.
They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.
Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.
They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

I wonder, over the last 10 years, has software actually improved the life of an average person?
"The technology proved to be incredibly controversial, with residents repeatedly turning out to city council meetings to say that they did not want government surveillance in the town; the poles that the cameras were installed on were repeatedly destroyed by vandals in protest, leading the town to have to replace them at their own expense. Last week, the town formally decided to abandon its contract with Flock entirely."

"The organisers of an aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip say Israeli forces raided 41 of their boats in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, while 10 vessels continue to sail towards the besieged Palestinian enclave."
Subconsciously, or maybe even consciously a person or entity that holds a large amount of wealth will be wary of creating stable well-paying jobs because that distributes the power that the wealth represents.
That army of people may decide that they want to have a say in how things are run.
But not spending the money, not hiring people means that it's eaten by inflation.
The dream is a way to invest without creating a big middle class.
This is why so much money appears for AI.

It seems to me that there are a hell of a lot of people here on Mastodon who understand exactly what's going on and want to do something to stop it.
How can we make that happen? How can we connect with each other to stop fascism and save the world? Serious question.
