I am America. I don’t need to listen to the Supreme Court. I have the power. You can’t tell me what to do. If you don’t like it, I will take you to court. Bankrupt you. Maybe send you to prison. This is the new America. Love it or leave it. Is America is great yet?








If money is your god then you should worship at the altar of your Lord the almighty dollar. How much $$$ can you get by selling your soul to the power brokers? The billionaires. America oligarchs. Does that make you feel good? Do you feel empowered? Do all the lies you tell and the cheating you do make you think you are better than everyone else?

Right now the American people need to wake up. See what is happening today. The country is suffering. Being changed. Not in a positive way. Nothing being done is good or positive for the majority of the people. The administration is only acting in the best interest of their own best interests. They could care less about the average American. Money and power is their gods.
We should all be pissing in. Not letting them piss on us!

Who Owns Free Knowledge? 📚 💡
Last week, digital researchers and free knowledge practitioners came together at the Weizenbaum Institute to examine the power hierarchies embedded in free knowledge today, and to imagine a more just future of the commons. It was a wonderful conference, with @wikimediaDE full of enlightening thoughts and new questions.

Secure software does not exist.

Not just in practice, though certainly there, but even in theory.

There's hope in that.

No matter how strict an authoritarian regime becomes, no matter how invincible-seeming a dystopia you might find yourself in, its mechanisms will always be vulnerable.

The curious will always have power that the tyrant lacks.

Ammetto che con gli Elvenking è sempre stato un rapporto di amore e odio, mi piacciono alcuni dischi (the Winter Wake lo adoro), altri li trovo abbastanza inutili se non proprio brutti, tanto più che ad una certa ho anche smesso di ascoltare le nuove uscite con regolarità.
Le recensioni dell'ultimo "Luna" mi hanno incuriosito, si parla di un ritorno alle sonorità dei primi lavori e... solo oggi è la terza volta che gira sullo stereo.

It's a real low point when your screen is so ancient that even in complete darkness, you have to light up the room just to see what's on it!

...Or maybe it's just my eyes 😆

"We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start," says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she details a fast-moving technological coup and the rise of the "broligarchy": an unprecedentedly powerful class of tech executives (like Elon Musk) who are complicit in dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world.
