Gaming out a society of psychopaths. The funny part about.. that I game out, is that no society of psychopaths who all understand that everyone is out to rule the world like they are would ever tolerate any level of wealth inequality. Such as society would tend to converge on constant warfare and destruction or tyranny and destruction…

If we were exactly like what conservatives say you would never tolerate billionaires

Dear G-d:

When I said that I wondered what watching a dictatorship form would be like, I didn't mean it *this* way!

An interesting read! But they need to join @Mastodon!

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.

I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

Hello SFBA! I’ve been wistfully thinking of switching over here for a while and recent fosstodon choices gave me the push I needed. So #introduction time!

I’m from #SanFrancisco and moved back here after some wandering. Raising two kids and a dog. Working in tech (sigh) but on #sustainability at least.

Interested in and post about #CausalInference, #Statistics, #Politics, #Policy, #Climate, #Energy, #Dogs, #Crafting and #Parenting

ChatGPT now lets users create fake images of politicians. We stress-tested it
ChatGPT now comes bundled with an updated image generator, and OpenAI has removed the ban on images of public figures. We tested the guardrails to see if we could generate fake images that could deceive voters in an election.

Three major catastrophes are on the horizon:
1) World War III is very likely;
2) the collapse of government-owned fiat currencies is almost inevitable;
3) the collapse of the global climate system is inevitable.

"Elon Musk—via his DOGE—exposing and attempting to cut government waste is wonderful. However, it’d be even better if Elon focused more on striking closer to the root of the problem: the public’s economic ignorance from which all the disastrous, coercive, competition-immune, monopolistic government central planning ... grows. This is precisely what Ludwig von Mises did, and I like to call it the Misesian formula for prosperity."

Trust Is Dead. Trump Keeps Selling the Corpse.

Behind every handshake is a nation plotting its exit strategy from the American empire.
https://www.theindex.media/trust-is-dead-trump-keeps-selling-the-corpse/

" #DonaldTrump says he's cutting deals again... His team calls it a triumph... But no one with a functioning memory or a map believes this is real. It's not leadership. It's damage mitigation. The #UnitedStates is not being courted—it's being managed.

The trust is gone."

DEI HARD by @patrick_h_lauke

#DEI #Politics #humanRights

The disappearing of Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs from US institutions and Corporations is a direct result of Trump government policies and is an attack against civil and human rights.

How are we meant to survive in a Wasteland of capitalism and patriarchal control?

My new book "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland" tries to answer that question honestly. It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
