Pluralistic: AI solipsists and AI cynics (24 Jul 2026)
pluralistic.net/2026/07/24/sup… by @pluralistic
FTA: "A bet that bosses will fire workers and replace them with AI is a good wager. Bosses are absolute suckers for this scam."
Timely given this week I found out certain small #HigherEd institution just signed a contract with some big AI company.

Adelaide airport pulls ads from conservation groups but keeps gas and mining ads during ALP conference
"Digital billboards from environmental groups, targeting Labor MPs attending national conference, cancelled with airport stating they are ‘too political’"
It would upset the poor complicit fossil-fuel *sponsored* pollies too much apparently..
(* Feel free to go leave Adelaide airport a nice 1-star google review, as I just have 👍)

Trump Suddenly Opens Dozens of #Gas Stations Selling Suspiciously Cheap #Fuel; Experts Are Already Warning of Impending #Disaster
Trump Mobile. Trump Steaks. Trump Coin. Trump Vodka. You know the drill.
Trump's latest personal venture doesn’t bear his name, but it does come with all the signature hallmarks of a #Trump brand: it’s garish, incredibly shady, and likely to implode sooner rather than later.
Called Freedom Fuel Network, the enterprise encompasses dozens of gas stations throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, USA Today reported
The gas stations seem to be selling unleaded #gasoline for the fixed-price of $3.47 per gallon, about 32 cents cheaper than the current average price in the US.

Trump Suddenly Opens Dozens of Gas Stations Selling Suspiciously Cheap Fuel, and Experts Are Already Warning of Impending Disaster
Details around Donald Trump's shadowy "Freedom Fuel Network" are murky at best, as one analyst warns the business model is unsustainable.Joe Wilkins (Futurism)
RE: mastodon.social/@sundogplanets…
I wish we could hold all the regulators and pols that let Musk get away with things one after the other for decades accountable.
These jerks were testing boundaries - what can we get away with? Public beta test of auto-pilot cars? No problem. Proposing "innovative" car tunnels simply to take money away from funding public transit? Sure.
Every thing this feckless fuck has done has been acting as if he were a state unto himself while the people the public entrusted to protect the public interest sold us out.

HAHAHA FUCK SpaceX just launched a nuclear powered satellite.space.com/space-exploration/la…
Sounds like this particular satellite is tiny and doesn't have a lot of tritium on board but HOLY SHIT this is a bad precedent.
If you’re one of the folks who hasn’t yet subscribed to the idea that FIFA is corrupt and that Gianni Infantino is a fascist boot-licker, this is all the proof you need.
For well over a decade I was a passionate footy fan (until FIFA’s corruption drove me away). And I was even a coach during that time. From my perspective, this was about as clear a red card as you can get. And, yet, it was overturned because a fascist dictator asked it to be.
Well, that and because FIFA wants to draw attention and fill seats. And it’s the second time they’ve done it during this very tournament.
Fuck FIFA. Fuck fascism. Fuck capitalism.

So much for the foreign & domestic #emoluments clauses…
#Trump reported >$1.4 billion in income from #crypto, digital #tokens & related partnerships in 2025, appearing to have SUBSTANTIALLY increased his income after reentering the White House last year.
The income was reported in 927 pages of financial disclosure forms, which the #WhiteHouse released Tuesday.

The #DeepState didn’t take down #Nixon.
So why did #JDVance say it did?
Nixon’s #Crimes, the #Courts, #Congress & the #FreePress drove #Watergate.
Such a scandal of #crime & #corruption could easily happen again — [especially in a nation where #Trump controls the #press, the rule of #law only applies to his enemies & the courts have been subjugated by a #corrupt #SCOTUS].
