Pro tip for these sort of firewalled links - if they are accessed after a few days though ' cached ' in search that often means you can read the full article without paying any subscription. Now the author of this particular article - that I hope to read sometime next week - looks interesting. He is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.

Twitter Co-Founder Dorsey Rues Musk Deal: ‘It All Went South’
by professor rat 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

Things started down that direction under his watch - for example acceding to US govt demands and pandering to the likes of Donald Dumbfuck who went for about a year floating above platform rules others were made subject to. It just got more and more like Fedbook under Dorsey - he is not some leftwing hero in any way shape or form. And he failed miserably to do any due diligence on Musk. Enough was already known about him to try and stop him. Maybe Jackass Dorsey can do enough good cypherpunky deeds to make up for past sins. That is for others to judge. But he will never make it up to me personally. Except by dying at his own hand and leaving me all his ill-gotten money. Carthage delenda est, Jack To the death.

The Wolf of Wall Street was financed out of this 1MDB Goldman Sachs scandal. Have you heard of the Brody of Wall Street? Top dog, Brody Larson (RIP) lost in the line of duty. I loved that dog. --- Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

I Was Skeptical About Innovation Advice, So I Put It to the Test

The most influential book ever written about how to innovate turns 70 this year. It features no mentions of the word “innovate” and just one of “innovation” — its author, advertising executive Alex F. Osborn of Buffalo, New York, preferred “creativity” or “imagination.” It is also definitely of another era: “In New York, Robert Moses has shown what imagination can do,” Osborn gushes. “If parents cannot spare the rod, they can at least think of better ways to spank,” he suggests a little later. His lists of exercises at the end of every chapter feature gems such as: I Was Skeptical About Innovation Advice, So I Put It to the Test https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-04-29/i-was-skeptical-about…

You don't know Jack

Jack Smith has zeroed in on the quarter billion dollars that Donald Trump and his co-conspirators raised by claiming that the 2020 election had been stolen from them. Significant proof has since emerged that Trump and many of his people knew at the time that the election hadn’t been stolen, which means they committed wire fraud by raising that money under false pretenses That Stop-the-Steal Scam With election tampering, incitement, obstruction of justice, and Espionage Act charges already in the mix, does Jack Smith really need to add wire fraud charges against Trump as well? The answer is yes. The point of bringing wire fraud charges alongside all the other charges is that it acts as an insurance policy. Even if the trial jury isn’t willing to take a leap on the bigger and more complex charges, the jury should certainly convict on something like wire fraud, where the proof is right there on paper. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/looks-like-jack-smith-has-donald-trum… Reposts not gleeful knitting by the guillotine

Calls for an American Lobotomy
by professor rat 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

The liberatory promises of the 1990s, the high point of the Californian Ideology, have led over the past decade and a half to mass epistemic fragmentation and social-cognitive degeneration: ever-shorter attention spans; a tribalized and post-rational society; citizens who are far less literate, creative, or capable of critical and abstract thinking than their forebears; human beings who are lonelier, more atomized, and prone to mental illness; a public discourse mired in the shallow and ephemeral; a nation stuck in a never-ending present . . ." https://compactmag.com/article/we-must-declare-jihad-against-a-i Reposts for a second Tleilaxu Foundation the answer to bad Ghola speech being more Ghola speech
