Nah, they’re probably planning to do what Amazon did with their “Just Walk Out” stores… force children into mines and just claim it’s actually AI. As NFT’s, Cryptocurrency, and so many other hype tech fads have taught us: marketing is cheaper than development.
Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.
He’s already got my vote. He’s by zero means perfect, but I live in a swing state and cannot throw out “meh it’s terrible, but good enough considering” because it’s not perfect.
Here’s some things he could do to make “meh, it’s terrible but” into just “good”:
Put any kind of pressure on Israel.
Expand the Supreme Court.
Executive order giving the NLRB Sectorial Bargaining at the Federal Level.
Force the FCC to regulate data collection.
Go back in time and allow the railroad workers to strike and threaten nationalization if the hedge funds that own the railroads don’t play ball.

I like playing tall and there’s so much lunar real estate in systems that you simply cannot settle. It would only work on moons with 5-7 districts and the way it could be implemented would be similar to orbital habitats.There’d be four phases that expand the size of the settlement:
1.) Initial construction and colonization. 2.) “Outpost” with five districts, creating small settlements to light up the night side surface. 3.) “City Domes” adds more districts with small domes appearing around the equator. 4.) “World House” adding more districts and a band of glassed over habitats everywhere but the poles.
Each moon could specialize in basic resource output; this way a collection of three to four moons, built all the way out to “World House” status, would be able to support a decent sized ecumenopolis.
It could be actual suicide as well… many GOP party adjuncts and elected officials have been receiving death threats for not falling exactly in line with even Trump’s most vaguest of whims.
We can’t be close to the fall of Rome, we don’t have a literal horse that has a vote in the Senate… of course with the retirement of Senator Mitch McConnell, Kentucky would be the state most likely to elect a horse as his replacement. So who knows.
I keep saying, we’d also need a Senator who was an actual horse at some point. Mitch McConnell is retiring and if there was a state to elect a horse it would be Kentucky.
In Catholic school in the nineties and early 2000’s, we were all told that the sex abuse scandal was serious but that it was also “a small number of incidents.” That we needed to pray for the victims and the souls of the perpetrators.
Then I went to college. Come to find out not only was the child rape widespread, not only did the church actively hide monsters from legal scrutiny, not only was this all directly effecting the local arch diocese (not my school specifically, but church leaders were forced to quickly rename another high school when allegations against a dead bishop proved too numerous to ignore)… not only all that but that it’s still going on, just not in first world countries with robust networks of journalists and legal systems. That an alleged pedophile was (while I was in college) living in the Vatican, being directly sheltered from extradition by South American authorities.
I guess the lie was that it was all over. That it was a small problem. That the church was a safe place people could turn to. I left the church at 18 over it, became an atheist by 19, and that’s where I’m at now at 35.
It seems the way VC’s throw money at pure unadulterated hype, don’t count them out just yet. So long as you’re good at marketing, you don’t have to be good at development; you don’t have to have a good idea; you don’t have to have a product that does what you’ve promised, works or even exists… they’ll shower a literal pile of shit with money until it sparkles like a Faberge egg if you can only generate buzz.

Yeah, even back in the nineties they were still making good stuff. My mom always bought my jeans there as a kid because they sold a store brand that had reinforced knees. I was an outdoor child and ran through clothing at an alarming rate.
Slither (2006) fucked me up the first time I watched it. Now I can watch it and laugh. Also, Pam from “The Office” is in it as the police dispatch/receptionist… so, I guess she just got type cast.
Mastodon, Peertube, PixelFed, and (unfortunately) Threads. [I’m forced to have a Threads account because of my job in media. I’m on Instagram and Twitter for the same reason]
I’m also super excited for Loops, but it hasn’t launched yet.
