I should just apply to have my name legally changed to Cassandra. I spotted the #Tesla board shares selloff at least a week before the papers, but apparently you're only allowed to talk about it now.

Dear #eBay,
I am certain I requested closure of my account years ago.
Today I learned that you didn't do it and that you intend to use it for "ethical" AI.

Fuck you very much.

FFS, this is the third day of incredibly high winds, with uprooted trees and stuff flying all over the place *and you just noticed*?

A little something to cheer you up. Day by day, the fascist tech bros are becoming a tad less rich.

(shorting is when you sell stock you haven't yet got, betting on the price dropping by the end of the month, so you can make good on the deal when the transaction will be finalised)

Somehow I managed to switch the radio alarm on last night. And today the presenters are all on strike over the Government being hatchet-wielding capitalists who throw a tizzy at the idea of taxing the rich instead of stealing from the poor.

So what we get on such occasions? A generic pop playlist. As the first jolly ditty seeps its way into my sleep-deprived brain, I can only wonder why a guy who sounds like Mika is singing "Bigs girls, you are good at bows."

In case anyone was harbouring any illusions about Trumsk's vandalisation of science being reversible if stopped quickly enough (as if that bunch of mafiosi in short pants would obey the courts anyway), researchers are already fleeing to Europe.

Another first! The US is finally having a brain drain.

"Tesla in Europe
#Tesla has factories and plants in Germany and the Netherlands.

Building commenced on Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg – known as Giga Berlin or Gigafactory 4 – in 2019.
The factory produces batteries, battery packs, seats, and powertrains for numerous Tesla vehicles.
[...]
The German factory was created with an annual capacity for creating around 500,000 cars per year."

Yep, that was always gonna happen

Second biggest? James Murdoch, of *that* Murdoch family.

Perhaps we should quietly drop into the convo at this point that the EU is maintaining its ban on new fossil-fuel-burning cars from 2035.

And the manufacturers are all for it.

Hilariously, another clown in the same convo accused me of being too far left to appreciate the Democrats.

Well, duh. I am actually left-wing. Got a card to prove it. But if my moderate, pro-social, pro-minorities, pro-regulating election finance views upset you, then you just proved my point that the Democrats aren't left-wing. And neither are you.

Don't try to gaslight us here.

Nothing so invigorating as blocking clowns who, when faced with a statement of the problems inherent to an electoral system, in this case that it's inherently corrupt, scream "WHY DO YOU HATE <relatively non-fascist party>?"

I pointed out that your fantasies are fucked until and unless your electoral laws are reformed and enforced.

Bye, bad faith bozo.

Claude Malhuret, by the way, is hardly left-wing.

The difference between him and, say, many #US democrats* is that he grew up in a country that had already lived under Fascism and whose politicians and media weren't shy of calling extremism for what it is.

*The ex-G OP no longer qualifies as a democratic & republican movement. Notice the lower-case lettering.

Attention "natural health" nutters, especially in the US.

When #measles is rife in a population with a healthy diet and hygienic environment, you get 1 death in 1,000. That's pretty fucking high, especially as we're not even talking about the disabilities, or deaths over the next 2-5 years from diseases taking advantage of the immune system being wiped clean.

When diet isn't balanced and the environment unhealthy, you get 1 death per 100.

That's what you currently have. Thank Trump for it.
