"bully crumples after being hit at all" is such an interesting story, i wonder if there are any analogous ones that are already popular that would make doing something like this everywhere seem intuitive

My hope here is that the cognitive tax is of the same order as that which we've already been paying increasingly over time to enshittification, and that maybe in the acuity of AI's harm lies enough external motivation to push us past using our brains to overcome AI into doing so in other ways

Michael J. [Fox] DeLuca @michaeljdeluca.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Does the extruded narrative product numb us, smooth our brains into mush, even if we're engaging with it specifically and only to identify and reject its inherent awfulness? Or is it possible to get better at appreciating art by better learning how to distinguish it from crap?

Michael J. [Fox] DeLuca @michaeljdeluca.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

A science magazine reviewing a solarpunk novel? We love to see it! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is in Science, bringing fiction into the conversation about climate, inequality, and the futures we’re building. Thanks to author Priya Dames! Read it here: www.science.org/doi/...

A Science magazine review displayed against a textured green moss background. Headline: “Climate unrest comes to a fictionalized France.” Subtitle: “Insiders and dissidents pursue different paths to environmental justice in near-future Paris.” The review, by Priya Dames, discusses Wendy Waring’s novel The Hunger of Those Who Built It. A small book cover appears at the upper right. A central photograph shows a Paris building covered in greenery, with pedestrians below. The review explores the novel’s climate-changed Paris, class divisions, and competing approaches to social change.

No desire to fan the flames here, but some posts today pretty much boiled down to 'I wish we could have a climate-focused party that doesn't get entangled in this pesky Palestine stuff.' You understand that the genocide is also an ecocide, right? Ancient olive groves burned. Land poisoned.

For Carney's "we can't afford to tackle climate change" bs: Economist Joseph Stieglitz; "When the US was attacked during the second world war no one asked, “Can we afford to fight the war?” It was an existential matter. We could not afford not to fight it. The same goes for the climate crisis."
