  Long, thoughtful piece by Matthew Quest. As I told Matthew, I mostly agree with this. But it's not a question of whether we should use people like Mamdani as a primary vehicle. Obviously not. Mamdani, AOC, Bernie, Lumumba, &c, are tools with a limited use, in the box with many other tools at our disposal. And they're two sided -- they can either be used to make things somewhat better in ways that stabilize the overall system, or they can be pushed to make changes that can be seized o...

  Little help? I'm trying to find the article that quoted engineers at various Musk firms on their practice of designating someone to distract him with some made up problem to prevent him from interfering with their work.

  China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it. https://boingboing.net/2026/07/06/post-china-built-a-40-story-tower-that-stores-wind-powe.html

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@CanadiansOrg/116856025293516580 Getting elected because people hate the right-wing party, and immediately adopting the policies of the right-wing party, is a winning strategy! Just ask Keir Starmer!

  I make a modest amount of money in royalties on a handful of books I’ve published, which are marketed online. I honestly doubt if I’d be selling any at all if I relied on a conventional proprietary model of making people pay before they could look at them. https://c4ss.org/content/45961

  But... but... but... all the right-libertarian Economics Understanders(TM) at FEE, Future of Freedom, and Mises.org assured me that wages are determined by the productivity of labor. It's almost as if the Economics they Understand is just a big fucking pile of shit. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/u-s-workers-record-low-wages-labor-share-bls

  "Nearly half of employees worldwide (46%) would not recommend their company nor their profession to their children or any young person they care about, and 38% of employees globally said, 'I wouldn’t wish my job on my worst enemy.' " I constantly wished my last wage gig on my worst enemy -- worst enemies being the bastards in the C-suite at said job. https://buff.ly/3HJq52B

  The trillions that US tech companies extract could be someone else's billions – all they'd have to do is offer the interoperable goods and services that disenshittify America's tech products. They could sell the tools that let anyone in the world use independent app stores, or fix their cars and tractors, and put generic ink in their printers. https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/05/three-is-a-magic-number/

  I've published several books and a lot of smaller research papers thanks to my generous supporters on Patreon. My income is getting pretty close to the edge (I've started replacing cat litter with dirt and wood chips to pay down debt faster and free up money for necessities), so if you're interested in my work and willing and able to support it, now would be a good time to start. https://www.patreon.com/KevinCarson I'm primarily dependent on Patreon, supplemented...

  The argument that capitalists are needed to provide workers with means of production, and profit is their reward for doing so, is nonsense. All capitalists have are paper or digital claims on the right to allocate means of production or material resources. All of the actual material resources -- means of production and raw materials -- are entirely the product of labor acting on free gifts of nature. The entire point at issue is the legitimacy of the process by which capitalists happen to be i...
