If you ever doubt that billionaires are completely alien compared to the other 99.9999% of us, remember that out of the ~400 tech billionaires out there, not a single one has stepped up with their pocket change to make a life-changing donation to the Internet Archive or the now defunct Living Computers Museum.

Out of 400 supposed techies, not a single one has an interest in data preservation or retro computing??

Clearly they have no passion for technology (if anything) beyond a means of further wealth accumulation, having more in common with the dragons of yore, sitting upon a hoard of gold and demanding further human sacrifice while giving nothing in return.

I don’t use P&O ferries in the same way I don’t buy my kids school shoes from Clarkes.

Companies that use fire and rehire policies to reduce wage costs absolutely should be targeted by a Labour government. Befriending them for investment and then crossing your fingers to hope they respect your new rules looks naive at best and like you’re no better than the duplicitous Tories at worst.

As Cat 4 Hurricane Milton prepares to wreck havoc on Florida, a reminder that Gov DeSantis rejected $11B in Federal aid meant to address climate & infrastructure, & banned the phrase "climate change" from Florida laws.

Republicans are proving "Don't Look Up" was a documentary.

We're not living "in the age of AI". We're living in a moment of unproven AI-related claims.

These are profoundly different scenarios.

And it's disturbing how many folks in education are eagerly, uncritically amplifying the first framing.

Please help us!

I'm so sorry to have to ask for help. But I'm so worried about Arwen, and I'm so sad to see her struggle...
I wish I didn't have to ask for help...
But I've stepped over the big pile of shame and I started this GoFundMe.

It's set up in Dutch, but it tells all that I've been sharing here.

The nasty infection that's now in both her ears. That her piggy bank is empty, and my savings have been used for the house/move.

I'm asking for help with the vet bills, for testing, consults and medications.

Arwen is my best friend, she saved me from suicide, she's all I have... She's the sweetest soul you'll ever meet and she deserves the best! Which I now can't give her... 😢

Please help me when you can! I'm so sorry to ask this... But I want to provide the best for Arwen and I feel I'm letting her down. 😢

Boosts are very welcome.

Yup.

We are in a whole new era.
As bad as we can imagine it to be, it will be much worse.

Before, we had the luxury of time to work on fixing problems.

That is no longer the case.

The climate clock ticks faster every day.
