Marx also pointed out that freedom is a double-edged sword. Laborers in a capitalist society, he says, are free in a double sense. They can freely offer their labor power to whomsoever they want in the labor market. They can offer it on whatever conditions of contract they can freely negotiate.

But they are at the same time un-free, because they have been “freed” from any control over or access to the means of production. They have, therefore, to surrender their labor power to the capitalist in order to live.

@taylorlorenz i feel like it marks me as a certain type of stodgy crank that the FOSS / federated / self-hosted nature of fediverse software is enough to make me root for it to succeed these other models, even when some of them seem basically pretty fun.

Pretty neat! If you're on mastodon.social (or another server running the latest in-development version of Mastodon), you can go to the Explore page eg. https://mastodon.social/explore/links and view posts that discuss trending news articles (see the "X posts" below the headline link).

@stefan @hashraydamon eh, idk, like you said: this is just an auto-search for the urls being posted frequently. it doesn’t seem significantly different than the list of current hashtags. maybe i’m missing something but it doesn’t rly get my hackles up as far as algorithmic manipulation.

The Italian Renaissance style former Wylie Department Store on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Built in 1889, it was designed by John Hutchison, with details drawn by his assistants Andrew Black and Charles Rennie MacKintosh. MacKintosh may have been responsible for some of the ornate internal plaster column capitals on the ground and first floors. These were still present until at least 2012, and may still be in place.

Posobiec later said his statements were partly satire,

In another video, Sánchez can be seen in the lobby of the conference hotel giving a Nazi salute.

In one of the most viral moments from this year’s conference, conservative personality Jack Posobiec called for the end of democracy and a more explicitly Christian-focused government. While Posobiec later said his statements were partly satire, many CPAC attendees embraced his and others’ invocations of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Remarks like these should be unequivocally disqualifying!

this person is a fucking judge

“How about some of the reporting I’ve seen on my decision? Can I get those people arrested? Just because I disagree with how they characterize what I say and do?” Carney asked.

Anyone who still uses #twitter on a personal phone which also contains sensitive personal (ie banking etc) is a mark.

@TheConversationUS @maccruiskeen yeah this doesn’t really seem like a “platforming” hazard - this is contextualizing the MAGA movement through a specific lense. IMO this kind of stuff helps clarify for ppl who are inclined to be a bit naive about it.

@syncretist @wampusmm yeah actual vinyl mastering requires attention to boosting / attenuating specific frequency ranges differently than digital formats. Major labels hogging the pressing plants & marketing straight to Target just don’t care about quality.

If you do get an interview with the fascist propagandist, they’re likely to use it to troll you and to claim to their supporters, once you publish your story, that they were taken out of context and that you failed to publish all the clever things they said.
