#Tesla refuses to come to terms with the Swedish labour unions. As a result, nobody is willing to link up their charging stations in the small Swedish town of Vansbro. But Tesla has found a solution.

They've bought some diesel generators. 🙄

Judge: 'Overwhelming majority' of cases brought to him by #ICE were for people lawfully in #Minnesota.

The U.S. District Court judge says he has seen hundreds of lawfully present individuals detained under Operation Metro Surge — and then held beyond the legal timeframe even after he ordered their release.

A surge in new datacenters, each with the power demand of 100,000 households and a cooling water demand of 1,000,000 m³ per year to train AI models on material obtained without consent on hardware now unaffordable to consumers so fascism-adjacent tech billionaires can sell us the idea that any skill is now worthless and in doing so creating the largest economic bubble ever while simultaneously destroying society and environment.

I think that about sums it up.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

The singularity has been cancelled.

What we're getting is wall to wall spam generators, optimized for passing the (modified) Turing test and convincing gullible humans that they are "intelligent".

Instead of the singularity, we are getting the spamularity.

A billionaire's perfect version of business is a fully automated operation that employs no real people but that supplies a product you are forced not to live without.

#Trump posts racist video depicting #Obamas as monkeys - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/feb/06/trump-barack-obama-michelle-truth-social-epstein-latest-news-updates?page=with%3Ablock-6985c4848f08465128686f8a#block-6985c4848f08465128686f8a when you think this pathetic coward can't sink any lower, he does...

"Actually, on the point of Bitcoin and crypto having no use case...they do. But they are not socially productive. In addition to the oft-mentioned tax evasion, money-laundering, and criminal payoff situations, former State Department official Mike Benz has said that a major user in total transaction volume are intel agencies, for payoffs to recently recruited assets and to otherwise move funds covertly to support things like regime change operations. So that alone suggests these, erm, vehicles1 will not go to zero since they have an official use."

And this is why we don't use Meta's products.

Meta has closed the Threads account for a project running citizens' initiative for digital independence from US companies.

Just try a thought exercise okay? We'll ease into this:

Stop saying "Nobody in the billionaire pedophile nazi cultist ring will suffer any consequences for the crimes they committed" and instead say "the system will not hold the billionaire pedophile nazi cultists accountable for the crimes they've committed so if we want them to be punished, we have to overthrow the system and do it ourselves."

Just, try that on for a bit. Because it's the road out of the hell you're living in right now.

Imagine if no one treated life as a zero-sum game and only agreed to play in co-op mode?

In any other game, if you found out it was rigged after playing your hardest for years, and folx were like "that's just how it is, and the price of losing can include dying in a gutter from sheer indifference", you'd probably flip the fucking table.

so moltbook and clawedbot are having a meltdown because it only took ten days for someone to realize it was a pietri dish for malware and packed the skills store full.of backdoored malicious bullshit and they had no plan to deal with that inevitability?

6 comps, 113 bands from 21 countries, over $50k raised in 2 years for humanitarian aid through Gaza Soup Kitchen, direct support of families, and buying esims for people in Gaza.

We are moving on to other forms of fundraising for Palestine for the time being but please support the comps and spread the word, especially TOMORROW Friday Feb 6 as there are no Bandcamp fees. As the world turns its eyes away from the suffering and devastation in Gaza, our support is needed even more.

You can buy the comps at https://thedissidents.bandcamp.com

We have limited tapes left of yes liberation, pomegranate seeds, olive seeds and poppy seeds, and we also have no genocide on LP and amazing anarcho/mob inspired t-shirts designed by Carry on Screening.

In addition all proceeds from any dissidents downloads and merch sold on Bandcamp Friday will be donated.

Thanks so much to everyone who has generously given their time and talent to this project.
