elon musk's personal lawyer is starting a "borrow money to buy #dogecoin" company

the grifts are really moving at warp speed these days. have a bad feeling that few lawyers accidentally getting rich on crypto by buying in in 2015 is going to eventually destroy global democracy.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell the one thing i always try to keep in mind is that in the early 20th century the system was far more corrupt and at least pre-trump far more captured by the robber barons than our current system is by the broligarchs and yet somehow people managed to vote their way out.

of course they also had a class traitor in the form of FDR (and they didn't have fox news)

in reply to ⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯

It's not taught in history, but if you go look or listen to certain economic historians, you will find out that FDR was in supported by three political parties and the labor unions.

Two of those political parties were socialist and the third one was communist.

Those kind of political parties were stamped out of existence by McCarthyism

Notice that the Democrats or the Republicans didn't lead it.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell what's also often glossed over is the insane level of resistance offered by the robber barons to things like the idea that children shouldn't work in factories... some of DuPont's editorials at the time are absolutely wild)
in reply to ⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯

It would actually be very interesting to dredge up the editorials, particularly of people like Henry Ford, who is the most remarkable antisemite.

He and Hitler had a mutual admiration club going on. Contemporary New York Times papers suggested that in the midst of hyper inflation and economic crisis. Hitler enjoyed the most luxurious of offices and ample resources to hold rallies.

It was suggested that Henry Ford was bank rolling him. That was the early 20s.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell In the early days of Tesla’s success I thought Elon Musk was like Henry Ford. Turns out that was too true.
in reply to Michael Gemar

@michaelgemar
Atlantic wrote fairly interesting article on Henry Ford’s ties with Adolf Hitler.

They concluded the article with the recounting of Henry Ford viewing film of what was discovered in the Nazi death camps, the emaciated bodies so on and so forth.. if I recall correctly, when the theater lights were brought up again, he was found unconscious, having suffered a stroke and died sometime later..

Elon is in a different league.

in reply to ⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯

I think the other note I'd like to jot down here is the Sherman act played central role. There was also a lot of other measures, but antitrust was a foundation of limiting economic, and therefore political consolidation.

Ultimately politics and economics has to be thought about in terms of who has decision-making power primarily over their own lives.

When wealth gets beyond a certain point, the rest of the population loses any say.

L'immagine è un meme diviso in due parti. La parte superiore mostra un uomo con occhiali, vestito con una maglietta bianca con la scritta "TURKIYE" in nero, che tiene una pistola rivolta verso l'osservatore. Sullo sfondo, si vede un cartellone con le parole "PARIS 2024" e gli anelli olimpici, suggerendo un contesto sportivo. La parte inferiore dell'immagine mostra un water con un tappetino di cartone sul sedile, con un foro al centro. Il testo in alto recita "RICORDATE: DIETRO OGNI RISULTATO SPORTIVO" e in basso "C'È TANTO, TANTO ERESCIZIO". Questo meme gioca sulla doppia interpretazione del testo, suggerendo che dietro ogni risultato sportivo ci sono molte ore di allenamento, simboleggiate dal tappetino di cartone sul water.

Cleaning out my office turned up a pile of extra USB cables, more than I need. How do you figure out what each cable can do for power and data? Are there devices you can buy that test a cable’s power delivery and data throughput by plugging it in and reading the results? If you have recommendations for a plug-and-measure USB cable tester that checks both power and data, let me know. thanks!

Ministerpräsident der Huthi-Miliz durch israelischen Angriff getötet

This week, the Trump administration invited Jared Kushner and Tony Blair to the White House to discuss the "day after" in Gaza. The meeting was an exercise in fantasy, and its only intended beneficiary was not even present - Benjamin Netanyahu.

in reply to TroikaFox

@TroikaFox@mindly.social The video features a black and white cat standing on its hind legs, with its front paws raised as if mimicking a human gesture. The cat has a distinctive black patch over one eye and a white face, chest, and paws. It is positioned indoors, with a wooden floor and a piece of furniture, possibly a bed or a chair, visible in the background. The cat's expression is attentive and slightly curious, with its ears perked up. Throughout the video, the text "WHAT A STAR" is overlaid at the bottom of the frames, suggesting admiration for the cat's behavior. The lighting is warm, and the overall atmosphere is cozy and domestic.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a large airship, resembling a zeppelin, flying above a cityscape. The airship is the central focus, with its elongated, oval shape and two visible smokestacks. It is painted in a muted gray tone, with details suggesting wear and age. The sky is filled with fluffy white clouds, and several smaller airships can be seen in the distance, adding depth to the scene. Below, the city is densely packed with buildings, some with spires, under a hazy blue sky. The overall color palette is a mix of blues, grays, and whites, creating a serene yet industrial atmosphere.
