@pluralistic@mamot.fr I was talking about this with some friends. Mamdani should get this framed in his office.

"I’m a paid-up member of Reform and I’m disgusted with him,” said Price.

He voted for Reform knowing they planned to cut “waste”. But he said: “If there are parents who have paid into the system all their lives, worked hard for this country, if they’re ‘waste’, then we might as well just give up.”

#PSA #CallToAction #NYC #Libraries

Hey, New Yorkers, time to put all that joy and enthusiasm to work: demand that the city council allocate .5% (yes, HALF of a percent) of the city budget to the city's libraries--because fuck Eric Adams, and because you NEED those libraries to work properly.

You can use the link below or contact the council directly, but you NEED to act.

Whoop whoop! It's really nice to feature in @pluralistic's latest blog with a very recent paper on Google's hidden empire which you can find here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.02931

It's about the past and present of really bad antitrust enforcement and about how things might become even worse if competition authorities do not get their act together. This is true especially for the Google/Wiz merger that the US DOJ just waved through yesterday: https://www.reuters.com/business/googles-32-billion-deal-wiz-clears-doj-antitrust-review-wiz-ceo-tells-wsj-2025-11-05/

I wish I could attend one of your readings. The quote about what your parents taught you of resistance resonated with me, because that's how I've always felt. I appreciate your efforts, Cory.

The application for surveillance is what keeps me up at night.

AI is genuinely good at pattern matching. Pair that with all the data they have on us and a government that doesn't care about false positives, and we get to dystopic levels of surveillance and control with current technologies.

That won't be enough to keep the bubble from popping, imo, but it will help authoritarians fuck us over when it does.
