Indiana-based MISO was listed as one of the cascading causes. "Incidents contributing to the blackout began after noon on August 14. FE's reliability coordinator was the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO). ... MISO maintained a regularly updated model of its area of responsibility with a state estimator (SE). At 12:15 p.m., the SE was mistakenly shutdown after producing anomalous results due to old data. ... Unscheduled grid outages followed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003 #power #history

The logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement. If Musk gets his way, the echo chamber of tomorrow will reach to space and back.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social the *verification* user journey: Age Verification -> Identity Verification -> Political Affiliation Verification -> Work Camp Verification Tech is getting infinitely more powerful and invasive. Leaving a power vaccum to be filled by power hungry organizations that can't resist. Ring of Sauron anyone? 💍💍💍 The root cause has to be addressed... 🤔 Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. #antifa #europe #power #trump

Distributed/federated self-sufficiency enabling co-operative power sharing. Capitalism as Power is all about creating a winner-takes all power game. Imagine if we could build a "political-economic game" from the ground up where the only ones who are allowed to play are those willing to agree to co-operate? This provides a literal power model (with electricity) that could be a political model, where islands of co-operation federate to produce a more stable whole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLIatO-RA1c #power

In this #HotTake I explore the idea that #authoritarianism and #communism are not the same thing. To cling to authority, means to give your #power of decision making away to somebody else. To prioritize a particular group of people, in a community, means to give them the first deal available that's close at hand.

Yrittäjä Mikko Nguyenin omistamat kuusi Gigantin myymälää siirtyvät osaksi Power-verkostoa. Muutos tapahtuu huhtikuun alusta alkaen. Muutos aiheuttaa erikoisia tilanteita ainakin Porvoossa ja Kotkassa, sillä Porvoossa kaksi Power-myymälää toimivat samassa rakennuksessa ja Kotkassa samalla alueella. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/03/04/kuusi-gigantti-myymalaa-power-mymaloiksi-mikko-nguyen #uutiset #gigantti #power #elektroniikka

We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance. You start out of power. You win a war of mass politics—you get enough of the mass of people to support your cause—and this carries you in to state power, which you use to consolidate and further that political project. #power #resist #resistance https://www.liberalcurrents.com/from-powerlessness-to-power/

If the world seems not to be holding together—if #greed, #envy & #power-over are overtaking a search for #beauty & #orderliness & #justice –maybe we have to reconnect more fully w/ our #cosmic origins. Maybe we need a civilization that begins w/ the cosmos & not w/ us. bit.ly/4bk9e5z #RememberingChallenger 💔

Prediction markets sell themselves as truth engines. Put money on outcomes, strip away noise, and let prices reveal reality. The Venezuela strike exposes the cost of that logic. When someone can profit from a covert military operation before the public knows it happened, markets stop forecasting the future and start rewarding proximity to power. This isn’t information discovery. It’s monetized access. The political problem is simple and corrosive: greed gets institutionalized. When insiders are encouraged to leak or act early because there’s money on the table, restraint becomes irrational. Journalism delays publication to protect lives. Markets pay you to move first and ask questions never. The ethical problem runs deeper. Prediction platforms don’t just reflect reality; they reshape incentives inside governments, corporations, and security institutions. They quietly ask every insider: do your job, or place your bet? And the security problem may be the most dangerous of all. Classified plans, military actions, and diplomatic moves become market signals. Prices move faster than accountability. Risk is no longer mitigated; it’s priced. Efficient markets are not moral systems. When everything becomes tradable, even secrecy turns into a commodity. And when insiders win, the public doesn’t gain clarity. It absorbs the risk. TL;DR 🧠 Prediction markets reward access to secrets ⚡ Greed displaces ethics and restraint 🎓 Security decisions become financial signals 🔍 Truth priced by markets is not the same as a public good https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/01/venezuela-maduro-polymarket-prediction-markets/685526/ #MarketEthics #Politics #Crypto #Power #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity

@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca @evan@cosocial.ca Interesting thoughts. I offer that most municipalities have no 'parties,' but division exists as much if not more at the municipal level where each elected member acts as if they were their own political party. Thus, I suggest division is not a result of groups or political parties; it's a consequence of the relationship between those with interests/needs/wants and those with resources. This is the relational nature of #power. As old as the hills. #cdnpoli
