I wonder what is not getting invested in bc AI has been crowding out everything else since 22.

It has to be brutal out there for everybody else, if all the money is going to AI.

> With the scientific elements either forgotten or rushed, the laboratory changed into a setting for unauthorized and senseless violence.

> The study authors propose that the experimenter played a major, passive role in establishing this dynamic. When the participants broke the rules and skipped steps, the authority figure rarely intervened to correct them or pause the session. By staying silent and letting the memory study fall apart, the experimenter allowed an atmosphere of illegitimate violence to flourish.

This sounds like looting scenarios to me. ie. When a situation descend into chaos, some people will just surf/leverage that chaos, instead of attempting a return to normalcy, for whatever reason.

> After the violence wracked 20th century I was hopeful the 21st century would be a bit more enlightened

The Trump presidency feels like the dying tremors of imperialist, oligarchic, patriarchal IXX century leadership that resists to disappear.

Like the other two septuagenarian boomer leaders blowing up shit across of the world - Putin and Bibi

I still can’t get over the fact that *Kash “Stay in my lane” Patel* is heading the FBI

As a xennial I wish we had successfully “killed” the boomers, but instead we have 3 septuagenarians blowing shit up all over the world

We failed so hard

Fascism puts a heavy emphasis on aesthetics

You are correct - mixed it up

As an American, I remember when none of this was an issue a mere 18 months ago, and it’s crazy to think we did this to ourselves. This is all so unnecessary… and dumb, very dumb.

Orwell called it “double speak”

They are so proud to hand over all control to the corporations, while pretending this is a consumer protection centered build - wild

I think he is a reflection of the broader libertarian streak of Oregonians.

Source: am Oregonian.

Wyden is a vote I cast without issue.

He is one of the few that is actually looking into Epstein bank accounts movements.

So glad to see my Oregon senator regularly on the money.

Oh man - I tried to star this, but Google maps engine is discontinued and there’s a warning sign that data will be deleted. I wonder if this awesome map will vanish, and how it could be moved somewhere else. :-/

> will result in less competition

The system working as intended.

“Competition is for losers” - Peter Thiel

A few days ago, after some very weird failed purchase attempts I made (payment couldn’t be validated or Smth) I received an even weirder mail from Amazon saying they had detected suspicious activity, all my devices got logged out and I was forced to change my password. I did it, after verifying it was a legit email (even if it looked sketchy af, pure text, unstyled, but sender verified and confirmed with in-app behavior), and next I know all my orders and browsing history had disappeared - +15 yrs of history, done.

Over the next few days my account history came back, except purchases made Q1 2026. Those are still missing. There are a few substantial purchases I made that are nowhere to be found anymore.

I attributed this Iranian missiles hitting some of their infrastructure in EU, as it had been reported.

Now I am not sure if it was blast radius from missiles or AI mishaps. Lmao - couldn’t happen to a worse company…

A massive media conglomerate for propaganda generation and distribution

Ohhh interesting - thanks

Love this kind of stuff

Their whole model predicates on the lack of privacy, so it’s crazy to expect anything else.

Particularly true as oligarchs co-opt gov

L337 Hax0rs, of course

lol

It makes sense - they extract every possible bit of personal information from your device - why would they make you believe they care about your privacy?

You want to communicate privately? TikTok is not the place, and that’s ok. shrugs

Binders with classified information were hosted in a bathroom at a country club, so…you know…

Some got released, and in the way the Executive wanted them to be.

This proves the opposite IMO - while the Legislative is co-opted, the Judicial branch has shown it is quite inadequate exerting control or punishment of the Executive.

Kinda?

> In summer 2019, the Province conducted a public engagement on time observance that saw participation from a record 223,000 people, with 93% supporting adopting year-round DST. Similarly, across all industry groups and nearly all occupational groups, support for year-round DST observance was higher than 90%.

Ha! I read the news and I was wondering if the scuffle with the US was the nudge to get this going, further differentiating the way of life.

My intuition was correct

pats own back

Crazy to have 1 trillion invested in data centers, underpinned by dollar-a-day human turk ops

> In capitalism, the market decides.

> In oligarchy, connections and donations decide.

> It sure look like the US is transitioning from the former to the latter.

I thought this was already pretty clear - since Elmo bunny hopped on Trump’s rally stage
