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.

Democracy? What Democracy? It's all about the old mighty cold dollar... ->

"When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking.

The Internet Archive has been recording the history of the internet and making it available to the public through its Wayback Machine since 1996. Now, some of the world’s biggest news outlets are blocking the archive’s access to their pages.

Major publishers – including The Guardian, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and USA Today – have confirmed they’re ending the Internet Archive’s access to their content.

While publishers say they support the archive’s preservation mission, they argue unrestricted access creates unintended consequences, exposing journalism to AI crawlers and members of the public trying to skirt their paywalls.

Yet, publishers don’t simply want to lock out AI crawlers. Rather, they want to sell their content to data-hungry tech companies. Their back catalogues of news, books and other media have become a hot commodity as data to train AI systems.
