Anarcho-commie ex auditor who was employed by one of the big 4 audit firms for close to a decade.

My experiences working for them helped open my eyes!

@BusinessInsider The entire US economy has been driven by fools with AI-psychosis. It's not hard to see companies losing money on AI adoption and reasoning they can't keep losing money forever. What happens when prices go up?
They assumed AI would be indispensable, but it's not.

@nullusfilter @BusinessInsider 🤣 hyperloop is more likely to become a real thing than data centres in orbit, you Musk fanboys are so painfully gullible

"something we never expected"

We're meant to believe these people are geniuses deserving if being multimillionaires and billionaires 🤦‍♂️ still blows my mind some believe we live in a meritocracy

🚨 Sam Altman warns OpenAi and Anthropic are experiencing severe pullback on Ai spending as companies put significant restraints on spending to restrict costs. The company warns investors it’s the first time this has happened in Ai and something we never expected. The buildout costs aren’t sustainable to allow profitability to hyperscalers or end users.

@MehdiBetata @AryJeayBackup How is it unlikely when there's several vids of interceptors screwing up

[Arya Yadeghaar (Backup) @AryJeayBackup]

The IRGC confirms what I had written.

Says destruction at Kuwait Airport T1 terminal was caused by a malfunction of an American Patriot system.

IRGC says they carried out an investigation and that the IRGC did not fire at this target, and the destruction of Kuwait Airport passenger terminal was caused by an American Patriot system malfunction, which, after failing to intercept Iranian missiles, landed on this terminal.

@OTAllstar @TrueBritVoice @largacty3 Almost like the country is being attacked by genocidal Israeli scum... you really are a tad dense

@0ldstories It's really not, the right wing press never shut up about poles and eastern europeans back then, it's what started the Brexit ball rolling

Only 9% looking at even a moderate pension. £700k needed for 'comfort'. Jobs precarious. Price rises making saving impossible. The financialised neoliberal system is finished but the majority believe it will 'self-correct'. The creditor-rentier class need taking down.

[Fergus Navaratnam-Blair @Fergus_NBlair]

Under the new guidance, trans people are obligated to use facilities corresponding to their sex at birth - but there's no mechanism for employers to compel them to reveal their trans status.

Which means this is, for many people, effectively a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

"Blair won 3 general elections so you need to listen to him" yeah well Harold Wilson won four so I guess it's time for a 98% marginal tax rate on unearned income and price controls on milk.

“Almost half our national income is spent by the state”

Spent on what? And even when it’s spent on welfare, who ends up with it? Neoliberalism has never actually been about a smaller state. It’s a state as a branch of private business. The world’s largest HR department.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Welp mission accomplished, and it only costs the Ellison’s 3% of their net worth, money they couldn’t physically spend anyway so seems like a win all around. Healthy economic system we have

Per NPR, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff (who orchestrated suspension/attempted deportation of @MomodouTaal) reportedly hit a pro-Palestinian student with a car, then Cornell banned the student from campus for "restrict[ing]" the car's "ability to maneuver."

can someone explain to me, like I'm 12, how this existing affected the police's behaviour in the henry nowak case

Eventually, the IDF is going to have to withdraw its armor.

Russia just resupplied its airbase in Syria, while Tartus still gives it access to the Mediterranean. Europe bankrolled al-Qaeda’s “new Syria,” covered up their massacres, supported their offensive against the Kurds… but for von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas grand strategy, selling Europe’s honour was worth it to “keep Syria out of Russia’s sphere.

[Mark Ames @MarkAmesExiled]

Kuwait is (or was) home to the largest US military contingent in the Gulf. What this demonstrates, again, is that the US cannot protect its Gulf clients. That's the most important message here. The US presence only brings economic catastrophe. https://t.co/pccc9FxkCR

I'm not a Bastani- or a Novara-basher, but this is something nobody on the left should be doing. Nazis aren't part of the conversation.
