Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other
people, living or dead, like him?

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

Listened to the two songs released on this album and they hit me right in that strange emotional space in my heart where the original Autechre songs burrowed in decades ago, but the acoustic guitar struck with an odd emotional punch like it’s from an alternate timeline where this was the real song.

I guess its Buy Books Saturday or something so I’m here to say, hi! I write books about sustainable activism and consent culture, and I would love for you to buy a copy of any of my books, particularly my most recent one “Love Rebels”!

A plus size woman with purple hair and a hat on smiles at the camera, she’s wearing orange glasses, and a black shirt with orange squirrels on it. She is holding a book in her hands, her book, “ love rebels: how I learned to burn it down without burning out”

A quote:

“The hardest thing to do (in regards to activism) is to cross the threshold and get started, but it really is about putting one foot in front of the other.

It's about doing something, not doing everything.”

- Kitty Stryker, Love Rebels:
How I Learned to Burn It Down
Without Burning Out

The cover of the book is pictured as well .

An orange background with text that says:

Already bought a copy of "Love Rebels" but want to support sustainable activism?
Buy a community copy directly from me!

I'll put it in a little free library, give it to someone who can't afford one, or donate to a local project on your behalf!

There is also a photo of a raccoon that is edited to look like it is holding up the cover of the book

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide.
And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide",
", and they're getting everyone else
ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

The thing about Americans basing their entire identity around what they consume is that it's susceptible to changing fads. Trump, as a branded name, was made for this moment. That said, it feels like this right wing fandom is peaking now. At some point, people will be bored with all of it… I hope.

Great thread. Arriving at genuine knowledge always involves the friction of encountering complicating evidence and countervailing interpretations held by different humans you can’t control or ignore. LLMs eliminate that friction, and thus become slippery slopes into delusional rabbit holes.

"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable. Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence. Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.

Been reading how research has shown low dose GLP-1 to improve MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), which is fascinating. So it’s not a huge surprise that it also can help with long COVID, chronic Lyme disease, long flu, as they all either share symptoms with MCAS or cause MCAS.
