  1. A #chemistry paper ‘written’ by the ‘autonomous’ A-Lab at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was published in #Nature in 2023 to much acclaim in popular media. It claimed #ALab had ‘discovered’ 43 new materials in 17 days.

    Chemists who can read the literature pointed out that *none* of the materials were new, and had *all* been uploaded by their human creators to the frequently referenced Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. cen.acs.org/research-integrity

    #AI is #clankers all the way down.

  2. "35% increase in termination notices issued by Irish landlords"

    I've had an earworm for a couple of weeks, an Irish ballad about forced emigration.

    🎼🎵Oh you tyrannising landlords - I will no longer stay
    So farewell unto to you bonny, bonny Slieve Galleon Braes 🎵

    Landlords haven't changed.

  3. #alab All Landlords Are Bastards 🧵

    The landlord system is feudalism, it is one of the ugliest facets of capitalism and WE DON'T NEED IT. We as a species, as societies, as communities can do so much better.

    Just think of how much money is wasted on paying landlords for literally nothing. They're gatekeepers, they don't do anything at all useful. Yet most people pay half their income on rent. That's not even counting the embodied rent costs of everything else we buy and pay for. How affordable would food, transportation and services be if no one paid landlords?

    And the amount of energy it sucks and the emotional toll and psychic damage it does is so enormous. Almost everyone feels helpless and stuck in situations of exploitation or outright abuse but can't escape because they have to earn money to pay rent, or can't break up with their rapist because they can't find/afford a place of their own.

    None of this is normal. None of this is sustainable. We won't accept any of it any longer.

  4. Housing insecurity is a huge bugbear for middle class people, one I am still in the process of wrangling. We are brought up in such a way that the threat of housing insecurity becomes a thought terminating cliché, it is unthinkable, it is THE WORST, it feels like death. To the point that most middle class people can't even consider the notion of paying rent a bit late.

    This fear is blown so much out of proportion. It's what gives landlords so much power, because most people are so deeply cowed, even if they don't think capitalism and its ways of domiating land and housing and people is right. They still go along with it, when mass organised rent strikes could be such easy and effective actions. Why obey landlords at all?

  5. EMERGENCY! EVICTION IMMINENT!

    We are two disabled abuse survivors struggling to survive the harsh finnish winter. Our slumlord style landlord has kicked us out for asking that the chimney and other stuff be fixed and POC workers not be exploited.

    I expect the eviction notice to be issued within the next week.

    Because @DionRa is undocumented, we can't seek housing benefits or go to homeless shelters. Your generosity is our only hope.

  10. EDIT: We found someone! 🥳

    After getting kicked out (eviction proceedings have started), the main thing holding my family and me back from finding a place to live is our lack of a landlord's reference, due to our current landlord being a verbally abusive harrasser who likes to exploit POC (me getting angry at that is what started all this and got us kicked out) and the one before that being a literal nazi we had to flee from.

    Potential new landlords ask for references and contact details and won't rent to me without that! They already don't like that I'm a foreigner without a Finnish identification number, though luckily I'm an EU citizen. (We don't mention Dion bc he's undocumented.)

    Can someone give us a fake reference and pretend to be our landlord for a minute? We'd need:
    - a phone number they could call where you'd tell them I was a good renter IF they even call
    - a name and address to give the prospective new landlord (this can be fake/made up)
    - e-mail optional
    - it doesn't matter where you live, our current landlord also doesn't live here in Finland
    - I can't think of any possible way to get in trouble for this. It's not like we're asking for a guarantor! (although we're not saying no if someone wants to offer that! 😅)

    Please help! We're both survivors of chronic abuse and have NO irl friends or family we can ask for help, at all. We just want a safe place to live so we can continue our antifa stuff, like making music, art, games and writing books in Dion's case and supporting abuse survivors, writing and making zines about trauma and mental health awareness and how to stand up to fascists and abusers in my case.

    We also dream of opening up our home to others who need it in the future. We know what it's like to struggle for basic survival in a hostile world and we know how to support others through that, we just need the chance to do so!

  14. CW: We are two disabled abuse victims Kicked Out by slumlord-style landlord for complaining about worker's rights violations and faulty chimney that causes CO poisoning. Winter is here and eviction proceedings are underway. You can help, with or without money :acab: :antifa: 💪

    Whelp, all the #LandlordDrama culminated in me getting contacted by the district court bailiff (on 15th October). There's no eviction date set yet though but it almost doesn't matter because the harsh finnish winter has started. We (me and my chosen family @DionRa) can't stay here, isolated and stuck, without adequate heating. The landlord refuses to get the chimney fixed, despite CO poisoning.

    He had promised to renew my lease, but went back on that after I stood up for my and others' rights. I got angry on behalf of the people of colour who he sent to endanger their health, working without basic equipment like boots and gloves to dispose of trash (rusted metal, shards, chemicals, kitchen and even bathroom trash) half-buried amidst stinging nettles and lots of ants. They arrived on a sunday with only their sandal-wearing spouse to help, kid in tow (had to wait in the car). I honestly doubt they were paid at all, definitely not an adequate amount.

    I refuse to just let the landlord get away with this. They are systematically preying on the marginalised and desperate, exploiting tenants and POC for labour and endangering our/their health. CO poisoning is no joke. I don't even have time to list all the other problems with this house and all the ways in which the landlord has abused me. I was suicidal for a while.

    What I need first is to physically survive and get my family through this. Then I plan to let the court know about all the landlord's crimes. But first I need to find a new place to live, one that is actually fit for human habitation. The main reason I couldn't find one yet is that I can't give the new landlord my old one's number as a reference and no one will rent to me otherwise.

    The main thing holding @DionRa and me back from finding a place to live is our lack of a landlord's reference, due to our current landlord being a verbally abusive harrasser who likes to exploit POC (me getting angry at that is what started all this #LandlordDrama and got us kicked out) and the one before that being a literal nazi we had to flee from.

    Potential new landlords ask for references and contact details and won't rent to me without that! They already don't like that I'm a foreigner without a finnish identification number. (We don't mention Dion bc he's undocumented.)

    Can someone give us a fake reference and pretend to be our landlord for a minute? We'd need:

    - a name and address to give the prospective new landlord (this can be fake)
    - e-mail optional
    - it doesn't matter where you live, our current landlord also doesn't live here in Finland

    Please help! We're both survivors of chronic abuse and have NO irl friends or family we can ask for help, at all. We just want a safe place to live so we can continue our antifa stuff, like making music, art, games and writing books in Dion's case and supporting abuse survivors and making zines in my case. We also dream of opening up our home to others who need it in the future.

  20. CW: :antifa: Help two comrades who fled nazi abuse last year and are now at risk of homelessness 🙏🙏🏿 COSTS NO MONEY

    The main thing holding @DionRa and me back from finding a place to live is our lack of a landlord's reference, due to our current landlord being a verbally abusive harrasser who likes to exploit POC (me getting angry at that is what started all this #LandlordDrama and got us kicked out) and the one before that being a literal nazi we had to flee from.

    Potential new landlords ask for references and contact details and won't rent to me without that! They already don't like that I'm a foreigner without a finnish identification number. (We don't mention Dion bc he's undocumented.)

    Can someone give us a fake reference and pretend to be our landlord for a minute? We'd need:
    - a phone number they could call where you'd tell them I was a good renter IF they even call
    - a name and address to give the prospective new landlord (this can be fake)
    - e-mail optional
    - it doesn't matter where you live, our current landlord also doesn't live here in Finland
    - I can't think of any possible way to get in trouble for this. It's not like we're asking for a guarantor! (although we're not saying no if someone wants to offer that! 😅)

    Please help! We're both survivors of chronic abuse and have NO irl friends or family we can ask for help, at all. We just want a safe place to live so we can continue our antifa stuff, like making music, art, games and writing books in Dion's case and supporting abuse survivors and making zines in my case. We also dream of opening up our home to others who need it in the future. We know what it's like to struggle for basic survival in a hostile world and we know how to support others through that, we just need the chance to do so!

    @DionRa s health is so bad he can't get up aside from going to the bathroom or HE'LL FAINT. He's in constant pain. I am weak myself and have lost an alarming amount of weight since our lease has ended. Can't take the stress and the hardships. Being stuck here means no access to supermarkets or stores and no dishwasher, so all we can get is post-delivered canned and dry food and then we don't have the spoons to cook. We've both been low level starving since we got here but it got worse and the damage accumulates. It's serious. Plus we could get an eviction order any day now and that fear eats us alive. When it gets cold, we're in danger of CO poisoning again from the faulty chimney.

    WE NEED MONEY FOR FOOD, TO MOVE, FOR DEPOSIT AND RENT. Had to use part of what we already fundraised for groceries and bills, cause we didn't think we'd be stuck in this rundown dump that wrecks our health for this long. Plus we may need to pay more deposit than we thought, having trouble finding a place.

  29. I've got my eye on ALAB today. Fundamentals look quite good and something's been going on in the back half of June as price remains very tight but volume exploded for multiple days.

    Not financial advice! This just looks interesting.

    #stocks #markets #trading #finance #economics #ALAB

  30. CW: capitalism's evils, housing insecurity, mental health/trauma, abuse culture (long)

    I am realising that I have only put up with the dangerous conditions of the house and the landlords bs for as long as I have because of how being homeless in 2022 traumatised me and reinforced the belief that I have to put up with abuse and take any and all shit and accept literal death traps as "housing" because I'm worthless and deserve nothing.

    I can't work under/for capitalism and the system shuts me out at every opportunity from every resource that most people take for granted.

    Of course I really am a worthwhile human being (cheat code: everyone is!), I'm fucking awesome and I am a force for good and for liberation. I just have a hard time remembering that and cannot make it be heard by cogs of the machine.

    And... the base idea that one has to "earn" a living and "earn" the right to be allowed to live in a place is so central to capitalism.

    It's also central to child abuse. It's what my parents lorded over me and were fully supported to lord over me and my siblings by every facet of capitalism, society and the state.

    My mother once said it was "no wonder" that my father is "in a bad mood" (what a euphemism!) when he comes home from a hard day's work and long commute just to find his children hadn't even done their homework and chores yet!

    I hadn't earned my right to not get abused. But he apparently had earned his "right" to abuse me. And so did my mother by bearing me.

    They took it too far even by this society's (stated) standards, but there was never anything I could do about it.

    Is it any surprise then that it took me decades to realise that I deserve to not get raped by my roommates? Despite being "wrong" in so many ways, neurodivergent and queer, and both in the wrong way apparently?

    Running away from my then roommate (rapist) was what landed me in the homeless shelter. EVERY person classed as a woman there had a story of domestic abuse to tell that caused their homelessness! Every single one. The people classed as men didn't tend to name it as such, but reading between the lines, it was fairly obvious that most of them also had similar stories. Different flavours of the same shit sandwich — at least for marginalised men.

  31. CW: landlord drama, alab, rage

    What gets me the most about landlords patterns of behaviour is that the only rational explanation is that "the cruelty is the point".

    It's not even capitalist! Which would be bad enough! But no, they are actively preventing me from improving the value of their property!

    I want the trash to be disposed of safely instead of polluting the soil, I also want the buildings to be safe and comfortable for human habitation, cause otherwise innocents will continue to suffer!

    But they're emotionally abusing me, and I realise now that they have from the start. They have lied over and over again. And now they're kicking me out.

  32. Gonna send this email to landlord, please copy, adjust and send to yours as well:

    Hello,

    I am writing to make some ground rules known, to be followed from here on out.

    I will not be taking phone or voicecalls, as you have made it clear that I need everything in writing. You have not kept your word in the past. I expect that to change.

    I will not be answering the same questions over and over again. If I have gone to the trouble of informing you of issues or even provided pictures and videos, I expect you to refer back to my email or text before asking me to provide the same information again. You can ask for clarifications if needed.

    Unless specified otherwise, I give permission for you to share the information I have given you whith the relevant people needed to adress the issue, for example repair people, contractors, plumbers, chimney sweep. In fact you need to let them know what their tasks will be and make sure they come prepared, equipped and with enough human power and time to safely complete the necessary tasks.

    I am not your slave driver. If a contractor arrives again unprepared and underequipped for the work at hand, I will not ask them to endanger their health by doing the task anyway.

    You need to give me a reasonable amount of time to answer your questions before restating them. If a matter is not urgent, I may take a full work day to respond. If the matter is trivial, I may take two weeks. If I cannot give an answer yet, I will wait until I can actually answer your question (for example: "Was the problem fixed?" can only be answered after the contractor has had time to fix it).

    I am willing to keep you up to date on the issues with the property, but you also need to fulfil your duties as owner and landlord. I am not going to go out of my way to do your work for you.

    I also need you to give me the relevant information I need in order to fulfill my own duties as tenant. It would have been useful to get the contact information or at least company names of the usual services (trash collection, septic tank emptying, chimney sweep). I did ask about these upon moving in.

    - [same name as on lease]

  34. Le tribunal administratif du logement, ou la "justice" des propriétaires : comitelogementpetitepatrie.org

    "Les seules causes dont les temps d’attente se sont améliorés sont celles pour non-paiement ou fixation de loyer… et donc celles qui conviennent le plus aux propriétaires.

    [...]

    À ses débuts, la Régie (maintenant le TAL) recevait autant de demandes de locataires que de propriétaires; or aujourd’hui, seulement 12 % des demandes sont introduites par des locataires contre 88 % par des propriétaires. De celles-ci, près de 4 demandes sur 5 visent à expulser les locataires ou augmenter leur loyer."

    "Le RCLALQ a obtenu une aide financière du Programme d'aide financière pour favoriser l'accès à la justice du ministère de la Justice, permettant de concevoir et mettre en ligne le site www.locataire.info, dans le but d'informer les locataires sur leurs droits [...]. Le site web contient une section intitulée « Dysfonctionnements du Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) » pour sensibiliser la population québécoise sur les correctifs à apporter à cette institution. [...] Le RCLALQ a reçu un appel téléphonique du cabinet de la ministre de l'Habitation exprimant un mécontentement sur l'existence de cette page. Or, dans les jours qui ont suivi, le ministère de la Justice a convoqué le RCLALQ pour exiger de retirer cette section du site web."

  36. I dream of a world where we all collectively just refuse to pay for rent.

    We could just do it. Just like that. What are the landlords gonna do about it if we act collectively? They are powerless. The only power they have is that we give them.

    Houses are for living in, not for printing money for small-time proto-fascists who believe we have no right to even exist without paying for it.

Deutschland UNMÖGLICH, seitdem der Mietwucher von den Herrschenden als Machtinstrument entdeckt wurde, auch im Hinblick auf damit einhergehende Entsolidarisierung innerhalb der Bevölkerung. Da können sich die Dreckspolitiker mit ihrem anmaßenden Freizügigkeitsgesetz den Allerwertesten abwischen. Ohne Lottogewinn kein Umzug, das ist die Realität 💣💥

    J'ai eu un voisin comme ça : il s'est installé le 1er juillet, et quelques mois plus tard il était déjà en train de déménager en pleine nuit. Il avait une gang d'amiEs avec lui, et je leur ai donné un coup de main.

    Une semaine après, le proprio me demande si j'ai vu le voisin : apparemment qu'il n'avais jamais payé son loyer, hahaha !

    Enfin, ça ne serait pas aussi facile maintenant : les proprios se montent des listes sur nous ... peut-être qu'on devrait se monter des listes de proprios, nous aussi ...
