The plot for 2028 seems clear now: 1. suppress the vote by reducing both who can vote and how they can vote 2. challenge the legitimacy of the results by claiming fraud and disqualifying ballots en masse 3. hide under the “ballroom” and wait for SCOTUS to decide www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Admittedly, it’s a tough moral quandary but I land on the side of giving space to properly develop SRM in case we need it as a last resort. SRM is a potentially dangerous Band-Aid but nothing on the horizon competes on immediacy of effect (on global temps) or cost.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent. All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?" Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

Agreed! Big ideas inspire and galvanize. Since JFK & Reagan, the dems have been lost in laissez-faire liberal economics + "let's make things marginally better for the working and middle classes". We need a Green Moon Race with goals no less "crazy" than Trumps.
