The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Second-time getting by train from Barcelona to Denmark to reduce postdoc emissions. I enjoy it a lot. You see things slowly and with attention, you can make visits, and you can always work effortlessly. However, this is only an option if you can afford it. Making trains cheaper is urgent.
We used to own our essential services, like water, energy, and transport. Not anymore.

π¨ Israeli naval forces have illegally intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Communications have been cut. The status of participants and crew remains unconfirmed.
This is an attack on unarmed humanitarians. We call on governments and int'l institutions to demand their immediate safety and release

All eyes on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social which is faced by a potential naval blockade of 20 unidentified vessels just 3 nautical miles ahead of their fleet.
They write: "we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israelβs illegal siege on Gaza."
Thousands seen sitting with placards that all read βI oppose genocide. I support Palestine action.β Big Ben is seen in the background
NEW: Parliament Square, London right now.
Thousands in a silent, peaceful protest against both the genocide in Gaza and the UK Government prescribing protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
Police now making arrests.

Thousands turn out to protest ridiculous designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Common Ecologies Autumn Gathering:
THE POLITICS OF AFFECTEDNESS
24-26 October, Barcelona
Please share widely! π₯
Here's some info about themes and formats:
Can a politics of affectedness be the starting point of collective care, social struggles, and international solidarity? How do we build a collective capacity to act and the power to transform the world? What alliances, articulations, translations, and forms of attention do we need to seek?
After the Great Financial crisis we learned to ask: how do we built power in a crisis of social reproduction? Now we are in a planetary crisis of socio-ecological reproduction (planetary boundaries, spectres of fascism, technopetropatriarchal extractivist overdrive, genocide, and war).
We have seen the limitations of organizing merely from shared knowledge or opinion. Common struggle is rooted in collective care and interest. To notice these, we must see shared needs, not as some natural facts, but ways we are affected by social and ecological harm and injustice.
The compounded climate and ecological crisis is becoming more concrete every day.
How to organize in a time of polycrisis? At this yearβs Autumn Gathering in Barcelona, weβll explore how strategies shaped around a βpolitics of affectednessβ can guide us.
