the white-washing of the origins of the word #ROBOT have begun, with any reference to slavery taken out of the articles in Wikipedia.

regardless, what’s more obvious about robots & #androids ―given the fascist #techbros culture behind Android OS, roombas & military robots, #AI―, is that robots & androids will not just be a new slave force, but a violent slave force, meant for surveillance, coercion and control.

Zohran Mamdani's Win Is the Beginning of the End of the Old Democratic Party

Mamdani’s NYC primary victory shows that the old tricks of the political establishment are dying out—and something new is being born.

by Hamilton Nolan, June 25, 2025

Excerpt: "What, exactly, is the scary socialism of Zohran Mamdani that all of the #billionaires are screaming about from their high towers? #FreeBuses. #LowerRents. #PublicChildcare. Higher minimum wage. #SocialWorkers for homeless people instead of cops. Better grocery stores. Ahh! No! Not… not… all of these common sense ideas that the vast majority of NYC residents would be happy for! Anything but that!

"There is a limit to the political effectiveness of #RichMen who have servants telling regular people that their lives cannot be better. We may have reached that limit. The threat of the rich is that they will flee the city. The flaw in their leverage is that almost nobody likes them anyhow.

"Zohran’s campaign was distinguished by its determination to treat voters as adults. When accused of ​'defunding the police,' Mamdani took the time to explain that he wants to create a department of mental health experts and social workers to take work off the NYPD’s plate. When accused of #antisemitism, he took the time to forthrightly distinguish that smear from valid criticism of the massacre in #Gaza. He was, often, more adult than the political press covering him, which is trained to treat dishonest attack lines as sporting challenges rather than as things to be dismissed. The youngest candidate in this race acted with the most maturity. The oldest, #AndrewCuomo, ran with the traditional playbook of treating voters like ignorant children — and failed.

"Old people with old ideas do not stay in power forever. Old lies and old tricks do not work forever. Time moves slowly — excruciatingly slowly, if you are always paying attention — but it does sweep away the old husks and bring new things, eventually. #Socialists want more people to have decent lives. Zohran Mamdani is proof that that message cannot be mischaracterized forever and ever. We will look back on this primary win as the start of something new. If America is going to have one lone opposition party to #fascism, that party does not have to suck. The establishment is too deeply rooted to move. So we will run them over."

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don't want to hear that billionaires can't afford a wealth tax.

"So here's the catch. If you have the power of geoengineering to turn Mars into Earth, then you have the power of geoengineering to turn Earth back into Earth."
– Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and writer

Video clip of showing Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and writer speaking, transcript: Climate change will not make earth uninhabitable. Climate change will make earth a living hell. In fact, I live in New York city where in our harbor we have the statue of liberty and she is holding the declaration of independence in her left arm and her right arm has the torch. The melting ice on land? The ocean level will rise to reach her left elbow. So that takes out all of New York city and basically every other coastal that we've spent tousands of years building since the dawn of civilization. So life will be very very different. So the way I look at it there is people who want to colonize other planets, give us an escape route. We trashed earth, let's move elsewhere and hope we don't trash that. Well, there aren't many places to move. You'll vaporize on Venus, so you're not going to Venus. Mars rotates once every 24 hours. That's kind of interesting. It's tipped on its as earth is, which means it has seasons, it has polar ice caps the way we stil do at this moment, and there is evidence of running water on its surface. So there's a chance we could terraform Mars. My favourite word over the past few decades. You turn something that is not Earth to something that's like Earth. Then you just move there. So here's the catch. If you have the power of geoengineering, to turn Mars into Earth, then you have the power of geoengineering, to turn Earth back into Earth.

@dangillmor If we think the exploitation of the #poor and #MiddleClass is #unsustainable now, wait until the #billionaires rewrite laws to ensure they get the #ROI that #entitlements during the next fiscal year!
