In case it's not clear, there is sooooo much organizing happening right now against this regime. It's really amazing.

This is really good advice (I mean, the piece in full!).
I try to do a fair amount of this already - not always successfully by any means of course, but that's ok.

Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation:

On the other hand, it looks like the tide may finally be shifting?
“Worldwide, wind and solar are outpacing rising demand for electricity, meaning fossil fuel use will stay flat this year for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.”

This is why it kills me a little bit every time PA politicians talk about encouraging data centers to open in my state. Fuck that, no. Data centers are neither progress, nor economic growth, nor job creators. They are a drain on the electric grid, on taxpayers, and severe polluters. Fuck. No.
A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.
Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

This guy looks like the sloth from Ice Age came down with a bad case of Bell's Palsy. Motherfuckers got a face like he swallowed his own skeleton and is having trouble keeping it down. Ear span wider than your shoulders looking ass. Shouldn't you be running from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, bud?
When I was 37 I was dating a woman who was 19. The thing that inspired me to break things off was hearing Pearl Jam's "Alive" on the radio - a song released 9 years before her birth she had never heard . In that moment I realized things would never work.

I sometimes wonder if Peter Thiel leaves a thick, shiny streak wherever he goes, like a banana slug. He and Clammy Sammy Altman are the two sweatiest men I've ever seen.
I cannot wait to see Thiel offer a sputtering, sweaty explanation of the emails that, for some reason, will unironically involve Moloch.

Rich people also have TERRIBLE taste in all things 😖
The greatest trick rich and horrible people ever pulled is convincing us they were interesting.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

"Much as granaries and refrigeration transformed food markets, storage will turn electricity from perishable to persistent, unlocking a new era of energy abundance."

The shift to renewables represents an agricultural revolution for energy, moving from searching and extracting scarce fuels to harvesting abundant sunlight in place.

I've read a lot of war diaries, spoken to a lot of veterans, and have my own experiences as well. And I feel confident in saying that if your response to being at war is sadism and violence to civilians and animals, that's not war changing you. That's just you. That's who you always were.
