The mistake was seeing @greenparty.org.uk as the only option to replace Labour. In Wales, Labour heartlands have switched to @plaidcymru.bsky.social whose politics are closely aligned with the Greens, but know their voters better. Greens do well in Urban England, and need to build on that.

Every euro spent on fossil fuels for energy and transport is funding Putin and other autocrats. Increasing defence spending is negated by supporting the oil and gas industry. Don’t waste money and time on bad energy infrastructure.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

The Green motion is an abject failure for so many reason but it is also exactly how online debate styles transfer to real political spaces. We're increasingly in times where everything is black or white and everything in between is a screaming match that takes the entire progressive movement down.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.
