"Swedish workers are uniting against #Tesla. From tomorrow, cleaners will stop cleaning Tesla showrooms, electricians won’t fix the company’s charging points, and dockworkers will refuse to unload Tesla cargo at all Swedish ports. What started as a strike by Tesla mechanics is spreading, in something Swedish unions describe as an existential battle...The standoff in #Sweden is the biggest union action the company has faced anywhere in the world"#news #twitter #musk https://www.wired.co.uk/article/sweden-tesla-strike-cleaners

"The Dominican Government has issued a stern diplomatic note to #Haiti following an incident on the northern border where Haitian police entered Dominican territory to disperse a commercial exchange between merchants from both nations. The Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs...made it clear that such actions were unacceptable... Senior military officials in the #DominicanRepublic confirmed the incident, with President Luis Abinader calling it a 'provocation'"#news https://dominicantoday.com/dr/local/2023/12/06/dominican-government-send-strong-diplomatic-note-to-haiti-over-border-incident/

@petergleick World population in 1756: ~650 millionWorld population in 1879: ~1.6 billionWorld population today: ~8.016 billlion...so obviously the problem isn't a matter of not enough people.Actually the fact that people who are just so fucking beyond-the-pale stupid, mediocre, and unequivocally unremarkable happen to be the richest people in the world today has a lot more to do with it than birth rates... I mean Musk is proof-positive that this isn't a meritocracy.

@jeffowski Ehhh... I'm not so sure that's a very good "law of history" to live by...For example:https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/university-student-groups-in-nazi-germany https://www.jstor.org/stable/40267811 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards

@jeffowski 1) Hitler didn't come to power until 1933 so how could the Nazi student groups be the ruling class in 1926? 2) "you simply selected ONE example of many"Right—The meme says "if you ever find yourself opposing a student movement... you are wrong every single time. In every era. No matter the issue." As the above examples show, that's not the case "EVERY SINGLE TIME." Clearly there ARE at least SOME times when the student movement is on the wrong side of history

@futurebird This is an awesome idea. I've thought about this question myself on a number of occasions. But if I were preparing for the apocalypse, I would take only physical books, coz there's no way technology would work after armageddon. IRL, the past few years, I've been trying to make life as independent of computer technology as possible. At least for the stuff that matters most to me.

@futurebird Yup. It would be mostly math and science books for me too. Not just because it might be useful for survival, but because it's the sort of stuff you can keep coming back to over and over again and not get bored!

@johncarlosbaez "I'm afraid anyone still on Musk's platform is implicitly supporting this vileness" Honestly, at this point, it's pretty hard to claim anyone's support is "implicit." I mean, if you're still actively using that site, it can only mean you're ok with what Musk is doing—Or, at least that you care more about personal gratification than you do the harm you're helping Musk to cause.

@futurebird @petergleick There is nothing to get. Right-wingers, being fundamentally immune to all logic, facts, and reasoning, just obediently regurgitate the disinformation talking-points they get spoonfed in the right-wing PropagandaSphere.There is nothing approximating what you or I would call "thinking" involved anywhere in the process. It's all just mindless, reflexive noises and getting outraged on command.

@futurebird @dangillmor @MotherJones The reality is that Twitter would have shriveled up into irrelevance by now if it weren't for all the journalists, academics, politicians, activists, celebrities, and other ostensible "liberals" or "progressives" who choose to remain active on that site. Sadly, they are more concerned with vanity and self-aggrandizement than they are all the harm they're actively causing by financially propping up and legitimizing Shit-for-Brains' nazi disinformation mill

@DemocracyMattersALot You'll find that a disproportionate number of the mega-rich are actually stupider than average: they took insane risks that more intelligent, reasonable people would have forgone and happened to get lucky(Of course that's no endorsement of stupidity; for every Musk or Dorsey who hit the jackpot with their braindead, uninspired, unoriginal shower thoughts, there are thousands of crackpot losers out there you've never heard of coz they pursued their dumb ideas and failed)
