America's descent into authoritarian fascism is made all the more alarming and demoralizing by the Democrats' total failure to rise to the moment:

Kenan Malik on the Epstein files:
"“Cunt”, “bitch” and “pussy” pervade the conversations... Acquiring “pussy” is a constant obsession. “Promise an abundant [sic] of young pussy flesh”... “Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty.” These were private messages, never intended for public view. Nevertheless, they reveal how the “Epstein class” behaves when it thinks no one is watching."

There is more than misogyny, more than politics (inequality) in this objectification and abuse of women and girls - there is a more fundamental absence of everyday human qualities - empathy, imagination, sympathy, kindness.

We have allowed to flourish a system of wealth and power that promotes and rewards the very worst of us - and throws the best of us, like the Palestine Action protesters, into prison.

"Un martillo puede ser a la vez un arma y una herramienta".

Una frase tan bonita como vacía. Por eso hay martillos de carpintería y martillos de guerra. Un martillo de carpintería puede ser un arma improvisada como lo puede ser cualquier cosa pesada, pero prueba a ir a la guerra con uno de ellos a ver cuánto duras. De la misma manera, prueba a ver cuántos clavos puedes clavar con un martillo de guerra.

El diseño de cada uno de ellos es completamente diferente, y por una buena razón: uno es una herramienta, el otro es un arma.

La IAg no es algo que "pueda ser a la vez una herramienta y un arma". Es un arma, y un arma destinada a ser usada contra la clase trabajadora para beneficio de los ricos.

did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?

of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power

it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day

it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech

from the play "Sir Thomas More"

Parece que hoy es un buen día para el rol! Voy a dirigir Mythic Bastionland (si hay aforo) y a la noche... mi primera sesión de Mothership!

Les tengo muchas ganas a ambos, ya que Mythic Bastionland (e Into the Odd, y Electric Bastionland) me parecen de los sistemas más cómodos que hay, además de que los libros son de lectura obligatoria para cualquier persona que quiera aprender a dirigir juegos de rol.

Por otra parte Mothership es un gran sistema también, que comparte mucha filosofía con la escuela OSR (Renacimiento de la Vieja Escuela) yq que tiene mucho carácter como juego. Bueno, MB también 😅. Quizás hasta debería hacer alguna reseña en algún momento de diversos sistemas de rol y por qué me gustan ​:blobcat_coffee:​.

Y hoy... contaremos con la aparición estelar (nunca mejor dicho) de @spell_castro@mastodon.social !

"The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"

Thoroughly enjoyed this meeting of two incandescent commentators. After circling each other a bit, @davidgerard and Ed Zitron find a common groove over the #moltbook scandals. "It's like taking your bots down to the bot park to run around and sniff the other bots butts. So it's not robots planning robot rebellion. It's just very stupid dogs that are not puppy trained running around and shitting all over the place, and people go, wow, this is amazing." https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/hater-season-openclaw-with-david-gerard

Nikolai Kardashev was a Soviet radio astronomer and astrophysicist who wanted to know how one could even detect extraterrestrial civilizations at all, the “SETI problem”.

He concluded: by energy consumption. The Kardashev scale is therefore not an ISO standard (ISO = Interstellar Standards Organization?), but a thinking tool devised by one person.

The scale says:

• Type 1: Uses all the energy available to its planet. For example, an albedo-zero world completely covered in solar cells.
• Type 2: Uses all the energy available to its star system. Not a million satellites in orbit, but a Dyson sphere that captures all the light and radiation of a star.
• Type 3: Uses the energy of all stars in a galaxy.

The idea of launching data centers into space, more precisely into LEO, must therefore be evaluated on a different scale:

The Kardashian scale

• A Type 1 civilization on the Kardashian scale has a public discourse that is no longer driven by facts, but by emotion and attention.
• A Type 2 civilization no longer has this discourse under control, and counterfactual emotional discourse begins to control politics, research, and the economy, where unscientific and outright stupid narratives now take over steering.
• A Type 3 civilization has complete epistemic decoupling: visibility has fully replaced truth, reach beats evidence, and consistency is irrelevant as long as the narrative is exciting. Physical limits are dismissed as “bad vibes”, and criticism is read as a moral flaw and subversion.

So we are not measuring energy, but loss of contact with reality. Many tech visions of recent years (everything from and including Bitcoin onward) map directly onto this scale.

We are now already a Kardashian Type 2 civilization.

Respecto a lo de prohibir el acceso a redes a menores de 16 yo siempre hago este ejercicio: imagina la puerta que abre cuando gobiernen los fascistas. Y sobre eso, decido.

Por muy legítimo que parezca esto de los 16 años, y que tecnologicamente sea garantista, hay que dar un paso atrás e imaginar los malos escenarios. ¿Por qué? Mirad EEUU o Inglaterra. O mirad China, Iran. Es que me da igual. ¿Quién va a decidir qué páginas son para "adultos"? Aquí, quizás es este:
