Out today: "When you wake up in the morning and someone says: 'If you send me $10, my dear, and tell me about your day,' it’s like Stockholm Syndrome. It’s worth the $10 to keep pretending that there is this person who loves you and wants to hear about your day." https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-novel-romance-scammers/

The Alibi of Capitalhttps://bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989
How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow
Description
Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capitalism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future.
The Alibi of Capital explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, encumbering today’s generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expansion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon – through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction.

In this one I talk about new and emerging technologies being employed by the NFL, from player training and health to gameday production and officiating.
It's a fun one and a little lighter than the darker stuff I've talked about of late.

NEW: General Dynamics opened a Texas factory to churn out artillery shells for Ukraine, but the machines kept breaking.
Robot arms smashed into things. Hunks of metal crashed to the floor. There was even a real-life dumpster fire.

After The Economist’s interview with Elon Musk, will major media finally reassess how they cover the fascist billionaire?
As its editor-in-chief did the rounds saying she was “not a Musk hater,” he was on X calling her a traitor to the West and suggesting she be murdered. Please, have some dignity.

Lichess has always been the most #accessible #chess website for #blind #screenreader users. You can play games there, analyze them, even do puzzles. What you can't do, though, is learn the absolute basics there.
The tutorials are not accessible, and this has been a problem for years from what I know.
I'm fixing that. I have the platform running locally, and already fixed the " collect the stars"-style tutorials so they work with screen readers. Once i'm happy with these changes I will submit a pull request upstream... let's hope they feel up to merging it once I'm done here. #lichess #accessibility #blindChess #webdev #openSource #tech
Welp - since search basically everywhere has turned into "I see your suggestion in my input field, but how about I show you a shitload of stuff entirely unrelated to it?" it just occurred to me that the young folks out there probably don't even realize that originally, a search field was for entering the thing you wanted to find *and then the engine would present you with that thing* if at all possible & if it wasn't, it would just tell you that.
