@garyseconomics.bsky.social in case you haven't seen this. Looks to me like data backing your argument about the middle class getting squeezed without wealth taxes and when the poor have nothing left anymore to take.
Sounds very interesting! Will it be a KS campaign or retail release, and when might we see it in Europe?
Using Siri is like trying to talk to a 3-year old. Doesn't understand all the words properly or gets them wrong, and most of the time just points you to mommy Google for help.
Apple should just buy Perplexity and replace Siri with it. Then it would be actually useful for more than setting a timer.

Before you get your knickers all twisted, I'm not saying that you can't take good photos with a phone. Just saying that my 2013 pocket camera is still producing better images.

βFor a truly memorable trip, go without reservations, just winging it along the way.β
I would not follow this one in the US. Unless you want to get detained. Everywhere else in the world, except North Korea, not a problem.
I think Leica D-Lux 8 is the best first camera for someone who wants to learn photography.
Here's why I sold mine: samipaju.com/blog/leica-d...

And Putin striking Kiev, killing 9 civilians and wounding dozens is not "jeopardizing the peace deal?"
Give me a break.
How about criticizing the aggressor for a change.
Or, actually deal with things like climate change and wealth inequality so that people can have any hope for the future of the planet, or the future of their children.
I doubt there are many who are eager to raise kids to indentured servitude.
"Elon Musk to reduce US government role after Tesla profits plunge."
At this point the only thing that can save Tesla is for Musk to completely detach himself from the brand.
This is not going to help.
Classic!
If you want to go into argumentation flaws, then how about the fallacy of composition and faulty generalization in the picture?
Koska?

You do realise that by making this statement, you are implying that:
1) Trump never lies
2) Trump always says what he does
Both of these are easily falsified.
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donβt die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
But does it disco?
Seriously though, would love to see this on a HC stream! :)
So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!
and they want to do it ...
... in *a few months*
I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...
... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

Waiting for the "I would drive an EV but my Tesla was vandalized." bumber stickers on muscle cars and other gas guzzlers.
Most EV owners care about climate change, but it's easy to see that flip to a "f it" attitude.
I totally understand boycotting buying new Tesla cars. But if it's already bought, doing this will not help.
Also consider that quite a few Teslas come with free supercharging (lifetime on older models). Which would serve to drain money from Tesla, but not if the car is destroyed.
This is so dumb in so many ways π
Burn a Tesla, and the insurance is likely to buy you a new one.
Also, do that to your dentist neighbor and I'm sure he will join your cause π
As long as regular people are at each other's throats, the oligarchs (including Musk) gets to do what they want.
Don't let the title fool you. If you want things to get better, it's time to tax wealth, not work. This one's worth reading for its details. It's information everyone who is of voting age and living in a democracy should know.

I think some policies will just replace with same or similar model. Also to prevent fraud where people would use insurance when they get dissatisfied with their purchase and want to change brands.
I wonder if people burning Tesla's realise, that one likely consequence is that an insurance company will just pay for a new Tesla to replace the burnt one.
So instead of a Tesla owner buying just one car, even more money will flow to Tesla and Musk.
3/3 "This was bad news for the current American empire: βWe have reached a very late Roman western state where the 1% does not need the state to survive,β Kulikowski said. βIf the US government stops being able to do much of anything, it stops to matter to them. Thatβs a real parallel.β"
2/3 "βThey can withhold their taxes. When push comes to shove, they can raise their own private armies,β he said. In the eastern Roman empire, in contrast, the aristocracy was weaker, and they still found value in supporting the bureaucracy of the state."
1/3 "One reason the western Roman empire fell in 476, while the Byzantine, or eastern Roman empire, survived, was because the β1%β of the western Roman empire grew so powerful that they did not need a state to function."
So now that UK government has forced Apple to remove end-to-end encryption on iCloud, if thereβs a data breach due to that, does it mean UK government can then be held liable for damages caused? Because ffs they should be.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
This is a line from the Hobbit film, but still very much worth sharing as work inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien.
