  1. Panic builds over #bankrupt Spirit’s looming data sale to #Google

    Doug Kreuzkamp was shocked when news outlets reported that Google won an auction to buy a huge amount of operational data as part of #Spirit Airlines’ #bankruptcy proceedings.

    Kreuzkamp founded a startup called #Springshot in 2011, which created a widely used proprietary platform that helps humans and #AI systems improve airline efficiency and quickly solve #logistics problems so flights can stay on time and #airlines can operate as smoothly as possible. Hundreds of airports use it globally.

    Springshot powered Spirit’s technology stack for the last three years, right up to the “very last flight,” Kreuzkamp told Ars. Yet his company got no notice when Spirit prepared to auction off a massive dataset that he thinks likely improperly includes a substantial amount of data and intellectual property (IP) that Springshot owns—not Spirit.

  6. This is #brilliant (from Democratic Socialists of America USA)

    “I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally #toxic and depraved he is.

    “I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

    “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy.

    “If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in #humiliation and #conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

    “If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, #bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy.

    “If wh*** #grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If #warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If #empathy feels like weakness and #dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

    “If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them.

    “That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

    “It was never really about him. It was about the #Validation. The #absolution. The #permission. He didn’t invent the #resentment he amplified it. He didn’t create the #cruelty he #normalized it. He gave millions the #intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest #impulses echoed back at rally volume.”
