When I moved to the United States in 1977, I didn't realize I had chosen to live in a country where guns and power are inextricably entwined.

The Republican budget bill cuts food assistance benefits to households that pay for internet access…
Give up the myth of control exercised at traditional conferences. Instead, give attendees the freedom to make the event their own.

@sz_duras The accumulation of material wealth (#capitalism) must be seen as a continuation of #domination by the hoarding/centralization of knowledge/power by multi-millennial #technoBureaucraticSocialSystems. In the era of #colonialCapitalism, power slipped towards the control of #capital alone. In the industrial and post-industrial/neocolonial eras, we see a return to the #control of #management, #power is (again) in the hands of #managers (#Burnham), now capitalists. #postPolitics #postGrowth

Mainly, this would be translated as:
“Samsung adds even more possibilities to harvest your personal data.”
Why didn't you write this instead? It would have been much easier ;)
A New Supreme Court Case Could Give the Wealthy Even More Political Power
A GOP court challenge could lead to the biggest erosion in campaign spending limitations since “Citizens United.”…

The Polis are taking liberties with the law - less than 3% of those arrested were postured and the article makes no mention of the percentage who were actually convicted. And this is with the full support of Westminster.

Republicans are about to supercharge the gap between worker and CEO pay.
The 2017 tax cuts enriched Wall Street and CEOs, who spent billions on stock buybacks. Workers got nothing.
Now, corporations are posed for an even bigger windfall in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill.
A Billionaire Trump Backer Is Desperate to Stop Zohran Mamdani
https://jacobin.com/2025/06/ackman-mamdani-trump-campaign-finance
Billionaire Bill Ackman and his rich friends want someone, anyone, to bring down Zohran Mamdani. Their pitch: take our money, it won’t be much time and energy, and maybe you’ll get famous enough to use the campaign as a stepping stone to higher office.
Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.
Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.
You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.
Control is a fun game and well worth the full price, so 85% off is a steal

Traci Lords has been teasing some news about her ahead-of-its time 1995 album 1000 Fires this week on Instagram. It's a superb album. Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones co-produced it (Okey Dokey is awesome) and Iain Baker used to recount on FriendFeed and Facebook how much fun it was to hang out with Traci and some of the things they got up to in London when she was recording over here.
Everyone's talking about the #SteamSummerSale and the massive discounts. I see the prices, but my enthusiasm is, well, non-existent. The reason? The persistent issue of #DRM.
It's frustrating to know that even a game discounted to 5 Euros is ultimately nothing more than a #licence to use it. I don't truly "own" it; it's just #access that could be revoked at any time if #Steam ceases to exist or my account runs into issues.
I can't resell it, nor can I truly archive it. This fundamental lack of #control over my #digital #goods is an absolute deal-breaker for me.
