I was interested in this story that the enormous French multinational Capgemini immediately decided to sell off a US subsidiary when it discovered it was contracting with ICE - https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2026/02/01/french-it-giant-capgemini-to-sell-us-subsidiary-after-row-over-ice-links_6750021_7.html

Is the US becoming a toxic investment environment even to multinational corporations ?

Je pense que personne est contre le casque à vélo... Juste contre l'obligation. Ayant vécu des pays où c'est obligatoire je confirme que l'obligation c'est négatif pour la sécurité globale des cyclistes. Je me sens plus safe sans casque en France qu'avec casque là-bas...

If you liked Reservation Dogs, I’d recommend checking out Lowdown, Sterlin Harjo‘s latest. It’s got comedy, drama, and a little action. And shows us some goodness and hope in this effed up world.

@rusty1281 @rizzi I'm yet to experiment with this for sites that do not have RSS

I guess the economists', and the wealthy's prejudice against public debt, and in favour of private debt, is influenced by an underlying misconception, and an undoubted fact...

The misconception is that money created in the private banking sector goes into 'investment' (factcheck: it doesn't, it goes mainly to inflate asset values); and that money created by the government is just spent, badly (factcheck: it isn't, it is invested mainly into things like the education, health and safety of us all).

The undoubted fact is that money created in the private banking sector goes mainly to the already wealthy...

i hear the racists are mad about the actress chosen to play Helen of Troy. but how mad are they? are they willing to go to battle for this? say, launch a thousand ships?

@dominykas @mattblaze laws of thermodinamics are not political laws. Not saying that states will comply, but he can push a lot on that.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not ready to talk about Black history. I want to talk about white US history.

Q: "Why don't Black people build any generational wealth? Newer immigrant groups seem to be doing just fine? Must be a lazy and shiftless people!"

A: Because for most of US history, white folk have *intentionally* destroyed the wealthiest Black neighborhoods in the US and stolen all the wealth.

Die rund 480.000 öffentlichen Pkw-Parkplätze verbrauchen eine Fläche so groß wie die Bezirke Innere Stadt, Neubau und Josefstadt zusammen. Mehr #Carsharing Angebote, mehr Anreize in der Stadt mit Öffis, Rad, zu Fuß mobil zu sein würde viel freien Platz schaffen. #Verkehrswende

Almost got a nosebleed trying to understand the psychology behind the naming of this burger joint.

A Clemson physicist teaches her students that figure skaters pulling their arms inward spin faster, speedskaters lean dramatically without falling, and ski jumpers' tight suits control drags. Students learn to see athletic performances as real-world applications of classroom lessons. https://buff.ly/vc7RdvF

@dansup ok. I then I will have to look for another instance.
I had a pixelfed.social account but once I tried to move and deleted this account in the process - Not knowing that the username wouldn‘t be reclaimable or in some other way be able to reactivate it.

Il punto nel dopo-Torino per me è uno solo: non lasciare al potere di governo e alle “opposizioni” sioniste il monopolio del racconto sulla violenza, non consentire che salgano sul piedistallo dell’etica pelosa e della morale ipocrita quelli che hanno fatto gli accordi a spese nostre con le milizie criminali libiche e quelli che regalano voli di Stato ai suoi esponenti con mandato di cattura internazionale. La violenza pericolosa è la violenza di Stato, che innesca anche la violenza di piazza.

@David That picture doesn't do it justice; it is a large conceptual piece that works, I think, on the whole rather than in parts. Go to that website and have a good look!

@Yaku @andre123 la realtà dei fatti è che moltissimi siti web e applicazioni sono fatti per ingannare gli utenti, zeppi di pubblicità, smartphone venduti con app malevole non rimovibili... E la colpa è degli utenti? Mia madre mi ha insegnato a usare il PC nel 1988 circa, oggi devo fare io quello che la tiene al sicuro dai suoi apparecchi.

@codinghorror I saw a reel the other day about how leaded paint was banned because it blocked the mind controlling microwaves. 🙄

I got a dual diagnosis of ADHD and "mild autism", which I presume is level 1?
