The #Enshittification of the American Hamburger
China blocked Argentinian beef for chloramphenicol, Europe blocked Brazilian beef for food safety reasons, and now Trump is importing it all to the US. But don't expect prices to fall much, the monopoly distributers will pocket the savings.Matt Stoler is my favorite blogger.

The idea that the gross over investment in technology is the solution to all our problems, is delusional on the grandest scale of delusions!
Also used as an argument to secure its boom is that new technology like Ai and AGi is inevitable and necessary to obtain a competitive advantage.
What is not much advertised, discussed, challenged and acted on are the current social, environmental, political and economic costs of the deregulated markets responsible for pushing the MAD investments of and in the technology of antitrust monopolies. They continue to undermine the benefits that result from democratic mediation, rights of diverse interests, peace, security, wellbeing and the flourishing that you get with ending the growth in inequality and injustice that their corporate sovereignty profits from! #Philosophy #Technology #ai #AGi #deregulation #Markets #MAD #antitrust #monopolies #corporatesovereignty #Delusions

Sourdough #6 Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives with migrazine and maiz / magazine presentation
Raumschiff, Friday, April 24 at 05:00 PM GMT+2
Sourdough #6 (magazine presentation)
Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives with migrazine and maizWhen: Friday, 24th April, 17:00–19:30
Where: Raumschiff, Pfarrplatz 18, 4020 LinzIn this gathering we present the last issue of the online-magazine migrazine "Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives” in which we took part in search for models of life, community and values that promote the emancipation from technology monopolies as well as our capacity for a political digital engagement. Intervening with counter-narratives, creating alternative uses and spaces for technologies, as well as building relationships that inspire empathy and generosity were some of the forms of (re)existence in a hyper-digitalized life that we gathered to tackle this issue.
Together with the authors Aimilia Liountou and Mary Maggic we will go through two of the published texts: respectively, the sociopolitical development of emojis in the global cultural sphere, and “Workshopology” as practice and research methodology for artists and interdisciplinary collaborations.
We invite activists, authors, artists, editors and general public to an evening full of playful, creative exchange on hegemonic digital infrastructure and possible ways to overcome them - acknowledging our contradictions at hand.
This event will be held in English.
About
Verein maiz: Autonomous Centre by and for migrant women founded in Linz in 1994. Our goal is to better the living and working situation of migrant women in Austria and to promote their political and cultural participation, as well as to transform the existing, unjust social conditions. https://maiz.at/demigrazine - Online Magazine by Migrant Women* for Everyone is a multilingual magazine and alternative media platform that deals with migration-related phenomena as well as socio-political issues. migrazine went online for the first time in 2009, published by maiz (Autonomous Centre by & for Migrant Women), born out of a desire to make critical migrant voices more audible in the media and to stand up against the clichéd portrayal of migrants. http://www.migrazine.at/
Verein maiz and migrazine will be represented by Lia Kastiyo-Spinósa and Rosi Grillmair.
Aimilia Liontou (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist, interested in the use of technology and its impact on the near future. In her artistic practice, she uses speculative scenarios as a means of investigating current realities and potential futures. By blending real facts with fantasy, she create projects that aim to question specific situations and encourage viewers to think for themselves, rather than suggesting specific solutions. Since May 2023 she is part of servus.at team. https://www.aimilialiontou.com
Mary Maggic (1991, Los Angeles) is an artist and researcher based in Vienna since 2017 whose practice revolves around workshopology as a shared process of amateurism and care that can collectively move us beyond pollution, planetary wounds, and grief. These workshopologies center ecological crisis as the starting point for embodying our permeability and vulnerability, informed by what our collectives and lands already know and feel. With this participatory practice, Maggic constantly searches for new embodied strategies for dissolving the boundaries between the personal and the planetary, and entering into new modalities of collective world-making.

This #SpaceX Situation: Not Good!
by Jason Koebler, Feb 5, 2026
Excerpt: "There are many reasons that 'AI data centers in space' may be a pipe dream and may not happen, but what he is proposing is a magnitude of #SpaceJunk that no other company could plausibly promise to launch. Data centers or not, SpaceX is now dominating #LowEarthOrbit in a way no other company or country has. While Musk has been gutting the federal government, interfering in #elections, allowing people to generate #CSAM, engaging in white supremacy, planning trips to #EpsteinsIsland, implanting #chips into people’s brains, siphoning off taxpayer money to build ridiculous tunnels, giving his sperm to whoever will take it, turning his cars into experimental robot taxis, and pretending to build #HumanoidRobots, #SpaceX has somewhat (?) quietly #colonized and dominated low earth orbit.
"Musk has taken this space for his own use, concerns about #LightPollution, satellite collisions, and telecom #monopolies be damned. This has always been concerning, but explicitly intertwining the aspirations and fate of SpaceX with Musk’s CSAM generating social media website, his #AIBullshitMachines, and his right wing political project is horrifying and monopolistic. What happens next, I have no idea."
