US ‘on a trajectory’ Toward Authoritarian Rule, Ex-Officials Warn

"A network of former intelligence and security officers says democratic decline is accelerating under Trump’s rule."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/16/trump-authoritarianism-warning

US former spies are worried.

"The report, titled #AcceleratingAuthoritarianDynamics: Assessment of Democratic Decline, was released on Thursday by the #SteadyState, a network of more than 340 former officers of the #CIA, #NSA, state department, and other national-security agencies." [1]

"We wrote it because the same tools we once used to assess foreign risks now show unmistakable warning signs at home." [1]

Ernest Garcia, posiblemente el sociólogo ambiental más importante en España, se suma a las mentes reflexionantes sobre el concepto de #BeyondGrowth como precalentamiento para la conferencia que tendrá lugar en el Congreso de los Diputados este viernes 26:

Here’s what Silicon Valley won’t tell you:
true innovation doesn’t come from breaking the rules in a zero-sum game — 
it comes from breaking free of the #zerosum game entirely.

Build something small. Own it completely. Scale it thoughtfully.

That’s how you win without cheating.

With apologies to the original poster. Who has dropped off the scroll.

The stupid red shiny car put me right off reading the link quickly enough.

Fucked up versions of success are mentioned but the concepts are great.

Yes, it’s a cold, bleak, snowy night here in Huddersfield - but here at the Bates Mill Blending Shed, there’s mulled wine and an utterly unique piece by Alexander Schubert which uses BRAIN CONTROL of sounds and images via #EEG cap 🧠. Yes, you read that right. Starts 10pm. (Be aware: lots of flashing lights in this one) https://hcmf.co.uk/programme/steady-state/ #steadystate #neuroscience #brainmusic #hcmf

@BrianJopek. Did you plant a chip in my head while I was sleeping?🤣

And for something like a #Library, #PorteusKiosk is an option if one doesn't want to do a complex #OpenThinclient setup instead.

Tho you can also #netboot Porteus Kiosk which is easier to maintain than discontinued #Windows + #SteadyState:

How did the Big Bang get its name?
Here’s the real story

Astronomer Fred Hoyle supposedly coined the catchy term to ridicule the theory of the Universe’s origins — 75 years on, it’s time to set the record straight.

Some people want to forfeit natural spaces in order to reduce the cost of housing. I've seen this argument locally and now nationally. This is a supply-side tactic that doesn't work. Even if you could DOUBLE the housing in an area, the drop in price would not last. The solution is simple. #SteadyState #Economics and #PopulationBalance. No unregulated markets. Fixed prices and populations.

@stevesilberman. Love this! As a teacher, too, love that you gifted this album to your teacher (I was gifted yesterday with an amazing bag of coffee beans (#SteadyState #Colombia in #SanDiego) from a former student). 💜

The secret to #SteadyState #Rowing on a #Concept2 is eating a Polish grandma's pickle every 10 kilometers. I'm a doctor and this is medical advice.

Will Steffen on the climate challenge: “It's not a technological or a scientific problem, it’s a question of humanities’ socio-political values... We need a social tipping point that flips our thinking before we reach a tipping point in the climate system."

I'm calling for the word #sustainabler. Very few things are truly sustainable across population and time. The threshold for calling a product or process sustainable is ridiculously low, misleading, and encourages conscience-free and unwitting consumption.

Many people advocating a 'circular economy' support economic growth. Could they explain how elements already in this closed loop defy the laws of physics by growing without extraction or pollution?

Oh lol. Now when I ask it about #Rowing it has no idea about how the importance of #SteadyState . I take it back. This tool needs a huge amount of work before it’s ready for prime time. I was worried for google. Now I worry for open AI getting litigated if they can’t stop their chat tool from giving advice that may hurt someone.

In all fairness #OpenAI states all the warnings and this tool is very much in testing. But it shows some dangerous signs too.
