Don't say 'Millennials still live with their parents after college.' Say 'Boomers built a society where their kids can't earn a living wage.

Apparently Lanterns, the 5th most watched show in the history of HBO, btw, “didn’t quite capture the zeitgeist”

They’re not just assholes, they’re completely stupid.

SKINS doing open call auditions & giving working class kids a chance isn’t talked about enough!! without it we would’ve never gotten acting icons dev patel, jack o’connell, daniel kaluuya, kaya scodelario, nicholas hoult & jacob anderson!! more productions should take notes.

CAPITALISM: If you don’t like your job, you can just get a new one.

ME: Ok, I want a new job

CAPITALISM: Oh sorry, it’s the time every six years where the entire Economy has to collapse so rich people can loot it. Have you considered begging in the street for Scraps ?

The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

the bloodborne fanbase has actively pitched being sold to. they were asking to be allowed to give a company money. Sony has said no for 11 years to potential sums of money purely because the larger perceived financial value of keeping their ecosystem locked.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is,It will never reach you

What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.

in the end, it all comes down to what you loved when you were 12-14

[goma @soigomaa]

Of course. All countries and governments should act on it. And it should be done now.

[Hon. PolProf of Agile Ceremonies @CeilNoyle]

Not only that. The privatised telecoms companies are making money from selling off all the copper that was originally paid for by the state when the grid was constructed. Outrageous legalised plunder

Technology peaked when you could carry 2000 songs in your pocket and the battery lasted four days because it wasn't tracking your location

We're being told that we might not have enough gas to keep the power on throughout winter and we might face blackouts when all we have to do is turn the fucking data centres off?

[Grumpy Northerner @DNA23Brugmansia]

Fuck data centres.

[Yxng. @PapiiL0rd]

Is Al making life better? NO. Is it making things cheaper? Quite the opposite. Is it improving the internet? It's drowning it in slop. Is it giving us more time to be creative? It's stealing that too.
Surely it's making us smarter, though? Ohhhh, you won't believe this...

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”

In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.
