  1. I don’t think many of the tooters I see on my feed need convincing that our biggest threat (after a certain certifiable case in charge of a big, bigger than you’ve ever seen, country) lies in the privatisation of #infrastructure crucial to #NationalSecurity. But just in case, I’m tooting this article to make that very point, again. We cannot be warned enough…

    ”If critical digital infrastructure markets are structurally producing unavoidable private monopolies, what does that mean for economic power, political influence and democratic control more broadly? Starlink may be a particularly visible case, but it is part of a much wider pattern now emerging across the digital economy.”

  6. Los ‘nepo-kids’, el combustible de la revuelta en Nepal

    Los ‘nepo-kids’, el combustible de la revuelta en Nepal
    Por Sébastian Seibt La denuncia del nepotismo y la corrupción es el motor principal de la revuelta en Nepal. Miles de jóvenes han hecho virales videos en los que exhiben y critican el lujo ostentoso de la élite juvenil del país. Esta animadversión hacia los ‘nepo-kids’ trasciende fr [...]

  12. When he took the stage in downtown Eau Claire, Wis., on Tuesday night to rev up Democrats ahead of a critical State Supreme Court race,
    Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said he didn’t think name-calling would help things.

    Then he called #Elon #Musk a “#dipshit” and, later, a “South African #nepo #baby” with the power to cut government programs.
    The crowd roared.

    Mr. Walz, his party’s nominee for vice president last year, is one of several Democrats who have referred to Mr. Musk’s immigrant background as they ramp up attacks on the billionaire’s powerful role in the Trump administration.

    At times, their language, casting Mr. Musk as a foreign outsider, has echoed aspects of President Trump’s own xenophobic insults of his political foes
    — although Mr. Trump’s remarks were typically directed toward elected officials of color, not white billionaires.

    At a news conference last month, Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio said she wondered,
    “Which country is he loyal to? South Africa, Canada, or the United States?”

    Representative Nydia Velázquez of New York declared Mr. Musk should “go back to South Africa” at a recent protest.

    At a different protest, Representative Don Beyer of Virginia said, “We’re going to send Elon back to South Africa.”

    Mr. Musk was born in South Africa in 1971, moved to Canada in 1989 and then to the United States during college.
    He obtained Canadian citizenship just before moving there and became a naturalized United States citizen in 2002, according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson.

    Mr. Walz made his remarks at a town-hall-style event that coincided with the first day of early voting for a State Supreme Court race in #Wisconsin.

    That election, which will be held on April 1, pits a liberal candidate against a conservative Trump ally who has drawn more than $13 million in backing from Mr. Musk.

    Wisconsin Democrats have seized on those contributions to cast Mr. Musk as the election’s main villain

    >> Critical part of Trump judgment that’s getting overlooked: He’s now barred from getting any loans from any bank licensed in NY for 3 years. And most large banks, in US or anywhere, need NY license to have access to capital. Trump will have a LOT of trouble borrowing more cash

    He might still be able to tap into the $2B that #BoneSaw gave to his #Nepo son-in-law, as well as other possible foreign sources

  25. @freezr Scambio di favori mi pare fantapolitica :-) Tutto è possibile, per carità, ma francamente penso più che #Nepo sia andato completamente nel pallone alla fine, è una cosa tra l'altro che gli è successa tante volte in carriera: anche con #Carlsen nel precedente match per il titolo ci fu una partita dove praticamente lasciò quasi un pezzo in presa, che a certi livelli è una roba a dir poco imbarazzante. Poi tutto è possibile, chissà.
