The falling trend in China's coal-fired power generation isn't limited to July: coal power has now been falling for eight weeks straigth, from mid-June to mid-August. The second week of August saw a sharp 12% drop year-on-year.

"This is the correct result, but it was achieved in an immoral way" is not a complicated concept for those who spend any amount of time thinking about ethics. But, alas.

As I keep saying, the authoritarian personality is instinctively suspicious of & averse to *difference*, and beyond that, it can't imagine otherwise. It can't imagine taking *pleasure* in difference, feeling curiosity or delight. It can only cognize difference as deviance, as threat.

For years, but especially in the last few months, I have been trying hard to imagine what it will feel like seeing Orban decisively defeated. I just couldn't. And yet here we are: it is truly and well over. I have more reservations about Peter Magyar than I could say in 300 characters or a thread...

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

Every generation has its cross to bear. I increasingly think one of ours is that future generations will assume we were pathetic quislings, complacently going along with the ravings of a transparent psychopath, unless we leave evidence that we stood up for what is good, and for ourselves.

Yes, the “people” are the problem… not the energy-wasting businesses and the politicians who protect and subsidize them, of course. This is the second major fossil fuel crisis in 5 years. If this is not a wake up call to transition to renewable energy, I don’t know what is.

Cliché & basic point, i know, but it's really fucked up how many people refuse to ask "but how will we pay for that" about war & jail shit. Like they fully & fundamentally accept & believe in endless money taps for killing & jailing & hurting other people, but not like… food or medicine or housing.

This is basically how I view the subject. Like, no duh, the United States has done some incredibly awful stuff over the centuries. But we also have a very powerful strand of humanitarianism, especially in the post World War II era, and I will damn well lean into that part of our national identity.
