MASS BLACKOUT
September 16th - 20th
Prepare for the IMPACT!
There is time to make sure you have everything you need for this BLACKOUT, and ensure you plan for the greatest impact possible.  

To prevent "spike spending" before and after the BLACKOUT, we ask that all participants purchase goods needed from community-owned stores and markets leading up to the dates. This helps with sustained impact and keeps our money out of the mega businesses' pockets. 
- No Work
- No Spending
- No Travel
- No Projects
- No Events 
- No Restaurants 
- NO BACKING OUT!!!

My kids just told me about this โ€” Blackout the System โ€” taking place 16-20 September as itโ€™s apparently all over the Tictoc? Iโ€™m all for boycotting shit. Always. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ The org appears to be asking for participation not money so hoping itโ€™s legit?

OpenAI Is Bringing an AI-Driven Feature-Length Animated Movie to Cannes It's called 'Critterz,' will cost less than $30 million, and will apparently be done in nine months.

I thoroughly believe, and unequivocally support, a complete and total boycott of this movie and any and all merchandise that may be sold. AI is pure theft. I truly hope this bombs and doesnโ€™t recoup a damn $.01. My $.02.

They paid out a billion dollars in settlements for knowingly lying to intentionally deceive their own audience. As their own internal emails/texts showed in discovery, they have nothing but contempt for their own viewers and laugh at them all the way to the bank. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

@brandonfriedman.bsky.social: I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

RFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid โ€œIt's just a way of cutting people off of coverage and then blaming them for it.โ€

RFK Jr. will have almost total personal authority over his departmentโ€™s definition of who is โ€œmedically frailโ€ and who has โ€œspecial medical needs,โ€ definitions that will play a central role in determining how Medicaid users are screened.

Blue whales are going eerily silentโ€”and scientists say itโ€™s a warning sign A six-year study off Californiaโ€™s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the oceanโ€™s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

If the ocean dies, we all die.

Someone needs to do a supercut of the many many ways heโ€™s contradicted himself on the Texas floods alone - this happens once every 500 years/ never happens/ all the times itโ€™s happened before, they were warned perfectly/ it was very later at night/ etc etc ad infinitum.

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that.
