Activists have erected a billboard near MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida, with a message to troops: “Obey Only Lawful Orders.” The base is home to the US Central Command and US Special Operations Command. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/hillsboroughcounty/billboard-campaign-urging-troops-to-disobey-orders-from-trump-administration-launches-in-tampa/67-3e67456f-fd56-426a-8ec4-4070c3b09aed
It is a 5-year tradition by now to do predictions at the end of each year and to review how last year's predictions performed (I got ~3/4 mostly right).

Other messaging includes insults like “stupid, smelly, squishy,” alongside the ominous statement: “It’s time for a human solution.”
KRON4 contacted Replacement AI and spoke with someone claiming to be the startup’s “humble unpaid intern,” Chase Hardin.
Coincidentally, Hardin shares a name with the communications director for the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on AI safety."
What did I tell you about so called "AI safety" and the Future of Life Institute?
“It’s time for a human solution”
I know it’s not the intended reading, but I read HUMAN as a descriptor of the solution rather than the problem that needs solving. I’m hoping that humanity does come up with a solution to all this AI nonsense that is being pushed on us before it’s too late. They’re making things worse for everyone.
This is yet another reminder that legal is not the same as moral. Although, given the state of the world I don’t know if “legal” amounts to much of anything anymore.
@TheQuinbox Happy birthday!
OCC proposing interest on escrow preemption moves

Just finished reading "Enshittification - why everything suddenly got worse and what to do about it" by @pluralistic
I cannot recommend it highly enough! informative, detailed, but more importantly CONTAINING HOPE! Read it and tell your friends!
I am really tired of listening to Marco Rubio praising Trump for getting Europe to spend 5 percent of GDP on defence.
No country is spending more on defence to please Trump. We are spending more, because we are alone in the war with Putin. We are spending more, so we can lead the world, now that Trump has put the US in the back seat.
We could have finished Putin together, and the world would have been safer and wealthier. But instead Trump wanted a war with Venezuela. That is how dumb this is.
"Hohe Lohne" – Lüge! – die letzte Schokoladenfabrik hier (Hachez) hat vor ein paar Jahren dichtgemacht – der Aufkäufer der Marke – Tom, Dänemark, lässt billiger in Polen produzieren.
Mondelez (Milka) hat hier in Bremen nur die Verwaltung; nix mit 'deutsche Schokolade'! Produktion: Verteilt, vor allem Slowakei und Bulgarien. Die 'hohen Löhne' werden mit überteuerten Preisen zwecks Profitmaximierung abgeschöpft. Der Markt wuchert. Der Profit landet in Trumps USA.
