Valves and Bandcamp are two companies that are on the spotlight for doing good things (mostly by NOT entering the AI train)

I’m really glad to hear this news. I keep saying that we cannot and must not rely on or wait for the law or politicians to save us. However, both are important cogs in this system — and anything that offers a moment of respite is desperately needed right now, whether that’s an emergency injunction or the Trump regime faltering while they try to avoid one.

The often mentioned "But China and India are still building new coal power plants" - true - doesn't mean that the amount of electricity they generate from coal goes up. Actually, it went down last year, and the amount of coal used probably went down faster thanks to the increased efficiency of the fleet.

I bought a pair of 25' Intellitron stainless steel whip antennas from GigaParts while they were on sale ("two is one and one is none" and the second one tipped me me into "free shipping" making its marginal cost pretty low). On removing them from the packages, however, loose roll pins fell out, and the bases fell off the antennas. Both of them.
A roll pin is an inappropriate fastener to use to connect two concentric thin-walled tubes, so this is a design failure. And the roll pins are …

It is extremely disappointing to see folks you’ve previously had respect for, partake in what is, in my estimation, the largest theft in human history.
No, I will not argue about whether intellectual property is real, and whether using it against the will of the creator amounts to theft. My stance on both is clear: Yes.
Both can be true: the interest rates should be zero (MMT folks know) and Trump is abusing his power.
Yesterday I watched both The Fetus (horror, great and gross, has Victoria Heyes from the Terrifier flicks and also Bill Moseley) and also Magpie (thriller/drama, also dark but not gross, with Daisy Ridley) and I enjoyed both. And the similarity here is that both films deal with the responsibilities involved with having kids. 😂

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.
