  1. "Oil has dominated our lives for the last century. It has given us warmth, progress, and life-threatening pollution. It has been a gift and it is now a threat. It has started wars, ended wars, and infiltrated governments — in some cases, effectively become the government." This powerful novella is a must read.

  6. "The twilight of #oil is upon us and it is fighting to survive, even as we are ourselves fight to survive the #climatecrisis exacerbated by our dependence on it." A good read in these times of separation talk within the #Alberta #petrostate. cbc.ca/books/on-oil-by-don-gil

  11. So apparently, tomorrow I'm supposed to attend a meeting where a company attempts to coerce me into signing a contract with them that retroactively allows them to breach my rights as a Data Subject. No thanks.

  14. #ConsumerWelfare, #RevealedPreferences, #regulatorycapture & #meritocracy are just some of the ways that #capitalism's alleged defenders cooked up to insist that they love the competitive discipline imposed by markets while being totally dependent on self-described #capitalists who have utterly escaped from that discipline and have committed to doing everything in their power to prevent themselves from ever coming under any form of constraint.

    Today, these [ #billionaires ] clutch their pearls at the "demonization" of the ultra-rich, calling it "billionaire derangement syndrome." But the only "billionaire derangement syndrome" that matters is the syndrome that affects billionaires and convinces them that they are above any discipline or rules.”

  19. FCC commissioners grabbing $125,000 skyboxes from #Paramount while voting on its $110B merger is not an ethical gray area—it’s a system built for corporate capture. When the regulators who must hold media companies accountable are also guests of those very firms, impartiality evaporates. This isn’t a lapse; it’s institutional corruption that erodes democracy. We don’t need new laws. The machine works exactly as designed. #RegulatoryCapture #MediaMonopoly #FCC #SurveillanceCapitalism #Compliance

  24. RT @shaunralston: „Open Source ist sehr gefährlich“ – Dario Amodei bezeugt dies in diesem beeindruckenden Video. Die wahre Gefahr liegt nicht in offenen Modellen, sondern darin, dass @AnthropicAI Washington davon überzeugt, dass nur sie mit KI vertrauenswürdig sind. Offene Innovation schlägt regulatorische Übernahme [1/2 👇] Video

  27. A handful of AI companies just spent close to $30 million trying to decide the outcome of ONE House primary in Manhattan — not to win an election, but to prove they can buy the outcome of who regulates them. Voting closes tonight. This is corporatocracy with the mask off.

  28. i suspect (the large) social media networks themselves had a hand in suggesting banning under-16s.

    after all their business model is selling ads.

    ads want views that can pay.

    these tech giants see teens as a liability.

    the toxicity within social media also affects adults - so addressing the root cause would be detrimental to their business model.

    in their eyes it is much easier to offer a pawn to save a rook.

  33. Every new lobbying carve-out or regulatory loophole proves the same thing: the law is a weapon for incumbents, not a shield for the rest of us. Justice is what survives after the elite have taken what they want. #laws #RegulatoryCapture #RuleOfLaw

    IOW, Harris asks banks to do what banks should be doing anyway (I guess). Sound and fury signifying nothing, just like his eminently re-launchable saving scheme.

    Anyway, what he should be doing is going after X/Twitter:
