With reference to … This Is How Meta AI Staffers Deemed More Than 7 Million Books to Have No “Economic Value” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/meta-ai-lawsuit (via https://wandering.shop/@jwilker/114353879701813415):
"Robber baron" is a pejorative term used to describe powerful and wealthy American industrialists and financiers during the late 19th century, an era often referred to as the Gilded Age. The term implies social criticism, suggesting these businessmen were unethical, unscrupulous, or ruthless in their practices.
They were accused of amassing their fortunes through exploitative methods, such as monopolizing large industries (often by forming trusts), restricting output to raise prices, exploiting workers through practices like wage slavery, engaging in unethical business dealings, squashing competition, and influencing government officials. The term combines the idea of criminal behavior ("robber") with illegitimate aristocracy ("baron").
Some prominent figures commonly labeled as robber barons include John D. #Rockefeller, Andrew #Carnegie, Cornelius #Vanderbilt, J.P. #Morgan, and Leland #Stanford, among others.

Scenes from Oroville, CA
Oroville Carnegie Library, or as it is now the Butte County Public Law Library. I'm always on the lookout for Carnegie libraries on my travels. We could sure use more Andrew Carnegies today. Talking to you, all you billionaires. #Oroville #ButteCounty #California #architecture #history #Carnegie #ClassicalRevival #library #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces -
@konrad That’s staggering. It also suggests that my long held belief that there are no good billionaires may be wrong. I’m unaware of his other claims to fame, so please enlighten me. #University #Tuitionfees #Carnegie

#PrunusCerasifera is a species of plum known by the common names cherry plum and myrobalan plum.
It is native to Southeast Europe and Western Asia and is naturalised in the British Isles.
Also naturalized in parts of SE Australia where it is considered to be a mildly invasive weed of bushland near urban centers.
Weed or not, I love it!

#CamelliaOleifera, which originated in China, is notable as an important source of edible oil (known as tea oil or #camellia oil) obtained from its seeds.
It is commonly known as the oil-seed camellia or tea oil camellia.
These streaked pink petals are divine. Healthy too!
