The future is unwritten. Wisdom and action is power. The most important thing to know? You can change yourself. The second? The same.

Someone rebuked me for saying out loud what everyone knows:
WE NEED A PEACEFUL NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION IN GOVERNANCE, SOCIETY, AND ECONOMICS.
It's not only me saying that. Here's what the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program wrote in October 2022:
#ClimateSky #GreenSky

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Thatcher killed fibre to the premises internet, and set the UK back in digital tech when it had been a world leader. This was a massive mistake and cost of neoliberal dogma. How much damage to the people of this country was done here? It's enormous - we would have had fast broadband to all by 2000.

The current circus is a distraction, and there's no-one who can rescue it.
That's because without electoral reform and a new parliament building, preferably outside London, the combination of FPTP and an absurd parliamentary chamber condemns us all to indefinite, ineffectual governance.

Corruption is normalised in British politics and Western politics in general. The current US regime is the most blatant example, but none are completely innocent of this.

Reification of money is the root of all evil.

Money is an information and value store, and a tool we use in decision-making. Yet it conflicts with democracy in this role. Money is meaningless at best if we make a god of it - as we have. "Give into Caesar" wasn't a nicety about taxes; it was about limiting the destructive role of money.

These guys were lucky. They stumbled onto the stage at a time when a new technology enabled great change. Instead of directing that change to social good, they pocketed as many magic beans as they could figure how to. Now they think they are magicians. They aren't. They are lucky magic bean thieves.

Bread and circuses. People are dumb.
The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

I’ve been following Greg Bovino and Border Patrol around for months. Here’s some of my footage (and thoughts).
Following the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minnesota, "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino was reassigned away from his leadership role in the operation.
Journalist Amanda Moore notes the violent culture and widespread fear he helped create won't be so easily removed.

When it comes to climate, no more counterproductive "permitting reform" B.S. that's obeisant to energy & tech industry demands for ever more extraction & exploitation.
We're "at work in the ruins." And that means we must chart a course to the emergent horizons.
