#broligarchs — Public Fediverse posts

#CFT Issue 21 is here!

I sit down with filmmaker and #writer @allr to revisit their 2025 essay: "A Strange Stain in the Sky: How Silicon Valley Is Preparing A Coup Against Democracy".

We go over the evolution of the social #Web , the #Fediverse , #siliconValley and its influence in #tech , the #broligarchs and their assault on #Democracy .

Very thankful for Albert joining in!

Listen or read it in the link, or on you #Podcast app of choice.

A joke about #ElonMusk told by #Canadian comic Seth Rogan at the ‘Breakthrough Prize’ ceremony on #YouTube (?) was ‘cut’ because it made fun of #broligarchs , such as #SergeiBrin and #MarkZuckerberg who are the event and prize sponsors.

Here’s the punch 🤜 line: “It’s amazing how much good #science you can destroy with $320 million and #RFK Jr., very fast.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/seth-rogen-trump-billionaires-joke-cut-breakthrough-prize-ceremony_n_67ff2c03e4b051f6e26e459d

#SiliconValleyBank just can't seem to put down the crypto crack pipe.

Expect another taxpayer bailout like the one the #broligarch customers of #SVB got when the bank collapsed the first time back in 2023.

20 years ago I wrote a commentary for the Murfreesboro & #Nashville @NPR station WMOT on a “long-term solution” to the short-term ‘fix’ of #H1B visas requested by the #tech #broligarchs ; “Chemical Eye 👁️ on #Immigration “ 👉 http://www.sitnews.us/1104Viewpoints/113004_preston_macdougall.html

Of course hyper-partisanship in #USpol has prevented *any* progress in immigration reform, and #PublicEducation is still failing. 🤷🏻‍♂️
