FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists
I refuse to believe those groups are terrorist organizations because the CIA has never armed them.

Apple Cancels Work on Electric Car, Ending Decadelong Effort
Thank fucking god. Imagine the kind of monetization that would exist inside an Apple car. You think subscription seatwarmers are bad, and they are, but I can guarantee Apple had much worse in mind, and that most companies would simply follow suit.

Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies
Comprehensive privacy law time? Nahh just ban the Chinese EVs and pretend this doesn't happen. Same thing as tiktok. You'll never be protected as long as they can point to the Chinese boogyman.

100x Faster Than Wi-Fi: Li-Fi, Light-Based Networking Standard Released
I like how they quickly glance over the fact that you need line of sight to connect and call that a good thing because people behind a wall cant steal your data.

It's just like Elons definition. To these people freedom of speech means freedom to say what they want and not be challenged by pesky things like facts.

They're just big fans of the cuisine or something.
Same reason recently single women go to Italy, all about that cuisine.

US doing a bang up job of curbing that far right terrorism problem. At least this one wasn't part of the armed forces.

Conservatives go to red states and liberals go to blue as the country grows more polarized
When one group became openly hostile to multiple populations of people based on things like race and sexuality, it's no longer 'voting with your feet', it becomes 'go somewhere they're not gonna shoot my son'

Trump Explodes in Unhinged Tirade in Courtroom, Attacks Judge and Prosecutors, Then Storms Out
Disobeyed Judges orders so hes gonna be held in contempt right? Were not going to keep reinforcing to this child that he doesn't get any consequences right? . . . right? The US Justice system is doing this to itself, and every day it proves itself inadequate to contain this threat.

Chernobyl's mutant wolves appear to have developed resistance to cancer, study finds
Alternatively put, the wolves that don't have cancer resistance do not survive Chernobyl. I feel like this should be closer to the default way we talk about evolution.

Anything resembling a more left leaning insurrection will get a very different response than the last one. You will be murdered by the state on the spot. The feds bombed a civilian neighborhood in the 80s for less than that.

Therapy doesn't fix any of the most pressing issues I have. I'd wager about 85% or more of my stress is economic or environmental in nature. My big three worries are how am I gonna afford a house by myself, how am i going to be able to retire on little money and without kids, and is the envrioment going to lose the ability to sustain human life while I'm still alive and on nothing more than a fixed income.
I don't need to journal my thoughts and pretend the outside world doesn't exist, I need some damn material security in my life.

As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
The amount of content I'm seeing over here these days lets me know that despite whatever the numbers tell you reddit lost sizeable amounts of community members and content producers. What these statistics hide is the massive dent in reddits free labor pool of mods that are likely done with the platform.

The ‘AOC Left’ Has Achieved Plenty
Im skeptical a fair bit of time about those congressional 'lefties' but this is true, for the most part they're doing what they can. What I do like most about them is when they show up outside of a legislative capacity, like showing up at strikes or going to meet unions. I think many people discount how important that boots on the ground work is. Imagine being a franchise owner of something trying to snuff out union efforts knowing you're gonna have US Lawmakers who agree with your workers physically there with the workers. You better come correctly in that situation.

Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds
I like how every layman said that this is what was happening but in the moment you could find half a dozen 'economists' on national news networks explaining it as if it was all just normal and no one was benefiting from it. Economics is a fake science, it's not even worthy of the title social science. It's literally just learning how to justify rich peoples actions and nothing else.
