What piece of shite to start the day on social media with. I ask you, what kind of #Grifting brainless entrepreneur would think that there is any sense in sucking up 40,000 megaliters of #water a year from an #aquifer in one of the driest parts of the land on the driest #Continent on earth to stand up an **Intensive** #horticulture business there?
We haven’t seen anything as brainless as this since the Ord River Scheme and cotton industries up North in WA. What kind of madperson even think it is a responsible thing to do? The people behind *Future Agribusiness* are nothing but #NeoLiberal predators looking to profit while raping the land. They don’t give a toss about *Country* and the fragile *ecosystems* on land *Never Ceded* . But I do. In fact, the mojority of this society does care about the land and what is bieng done to it in the name of #NeoLiberalism and #NeoColonialism.
Where is our *Environmental Protection Agency* in all this? Recovering from #Labor Govt death blows no doubt. There is no coming back from this kind of #pillage. Good grief, this is just insane. Here’s hoping the Courts (in reflecting the will of the broader society while adjuticating) will see true justice (in #fascist NT) applied to the benefit of all and not just a few madhats looking to cash up.

These guys are CLAIMING to use this for emergencies to try to snag public resources for private benefit, IMHO.
"... proposing building the facilities at as many as 70 fairgrounds across the state by 2030 to create a statewide emergency response network. ...The proposed artificial intelligence data-processing unit is not a traditional data center but instead would be fully enclosed, ..."
"...director of emergency operations for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, said he knows little about the plan. He said Global Stack has not directly reached out to his office with information...."

Started to think about leaving all those #Grifting and #GateKeeping propriatory #TechBros apps and platforms like #iOS, #Microsoft and #Google for the clean free air of a #Linux distro? Here is a great site to survey the alternate offererings.

And now... greatest hits - again & again - from Uncle Donny the Stable Genius
"All the best words!" And #WordSalad
This is an amazingly dense-packed #cartoon with a whole lot of #truth
Apologies there's no way I could get all this into alt-text! But did a bit.

To please the #BCA, they’d have us completely #Deregulate everything. The fact they are clamouring for it reinforces the fact that we do not regulate enough IMO.

#tRump will be remembered as a convicted felon, adjudged rapist and #Grifting #Fascist by history when his term as POTUS ends. But it will leave any future American Administration a whole lot of issues and problems in the renormalisation of foreign relationships and defence treaties.
“ l’"OTAN 3.0", un terme utilisé par l’administration Trump pour décrire l’évolution vers une alliance dirigée par les Européens, ne comptant plus sur le soutien militaire conventionnel des États-Unis.”

@MissGayle
It’s disingenuous of you to bring in a non-sequitur (Epstein affair) into this conversation.If the purpose of someone who, for whatever reason, decides to stand up an #instance on the #fedi is to make it a financially viable enterprise, then good luck to them because they are likely to fail. There is no #BusinessCase to support this.
It is my observation that most, if not all, instances are stood up from the perspective of idealism. The ideal that an internet #Agora can and should flourish in order to put #Grifting and #Toxic platforms out of business (along with all other Fedi ideals I commented on earlier). It is entirely #voluntary, i.e. not remunerated.
The fedi will live or die by the good nature of its hosts and supporters.
ERGO: #Donate what you can, when you can, to you host instance folks. The #InternetAgora depends on it. If you cannot afford it, support the #Fediverse and praise its lofty goals in your loudest voice.

IF THEY ARE ADMITTING #Felon47 made $2.2 BILLION JUST LAST YEAR while in office (while #MAGAts swoon over his selflessness for not taking a salary), just imagine how much he's REALLY profiting off the presidency thru his flagrant #grifting, #SelfDealing, #PayToPlay schemes, #SellingPardons and flat-out #bribery.
But... but... #HunterBiden! 🤬

For Trump the presidency is just another business opportunity, and a way to stay out of jail of course…
With some help of his corrupt Republican friends of course making a buck on the side…

Sen. Murphy did the same thing last year after T****'s First 100 Days, going down the list of Crimes & Corruption committed by Trump that the #GOP had chosen to ignore.
The list has since *exploded* in size, with DOZENS OF EXAMPLES (as Murphy points out: plus dozens more) of impeachable offenses that #Republicans would lose their minds over if the #Potus were a #Democrat.

@timrichards
#Murdocracy in action, perpetuating the #Howard #MumAndDadBank fantasy supported by the #Grifting #RealEstateIndustry. Typical #RentierClass thinking in a debunked #NeoLiberalEconomy.The only stimulus to personal spending is one’s account balance at the bank (and maybe the stash under the mattress for those who still believe that cash is more secure and more stable in value) not some market defined imputed asset value. If as you say the plan might be to downsize or take on a reverse mortgage, again neither will alter the importance of the bank balance when it comes to spending habits.

@MichalBryxi
Sorry you feel that way, but it’s your life bro…
Just so you know, I’m coming from the perspective of #Resistance and slowly weaning myself off anything that is #TechBros, #Grifting and #Gatekeeping and especially #GenAISlop. I want to liberate myself from their $$/info-sucking yokes and to champion free web, FOSS and not for profit app dev. Call me insane if you like, but after 5 decades I’m tired of being taken for a servile (not to say slave) idiot by #BigUSTech especially. -

At what point does the Government of Canada sue Meta for damages to our national sovereignty and encourage every proud Canadian and Albertan to GET THE HECK OFF THESE TOXIC PLATFORMS?
They are literally helping tear our country apart for the lols and a few bucks.

@jonty
I actually audited Enron for IBM after the collapse ("9/11" took place my second day on the job.)I see a lot of similarities between how Enron & Musk's companies were/are run.
The only thing that has saved Musk is how mindbogglingly corrupt his benefactor, #DonTheCon, is (#Dubya was a nightmare too, but at least he wasn't a #grifting #criminal #ConMan.)

#Trump discloses thousands of stock trades. What it means - In a government filing late last week, President Trump disclosed more than 3,500 stock trades on his behalf in the first quarter — at least $1 million each was purchased in shares of Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, Boeing and more.
The trading included sales of holdings in Meta, Amazon and Walt Disney, among others.
All told, there were hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transactions, per the Financial Times, although it is not known how much money the president earned (or lost) as a result.
Why it matters: In modern history, no president has had an active investment portfolio quite like this.
"We've never seen a president trading actively in the stock market before," says Richard Painter, who served as the chief White House ethics counsel under former President George W. Bush and is a critic of Trump. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/19/trump-stocks-nvidia-boeing #Grift #Grifting #Corruption #ethics #USpol
