Love this 🧵. Don’t let them propagandize your skepticism away, it’s some of the only power people like us have left.
I believe that there are characteristics of structural change and AI, as yet, does not have them.
I also believe that refusal opens up smart people to conceive of what *is* happening and not what capital *wants* to happen.

One thing I’ll say about 2026 so far, it’s at least yielded some pretty good speeches
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

There was no mastermind or grand scheme, but there was a successful effort by wealthy men, including Epstein, to destroy a status quo that they feared was trending towards greater accountability.

There's also been little reporting on the fact the CRTC recently released new Canadian Content guidelines they've spun as more "flexible," but actually mean Canadian-owned projects can hire more non-Canadians as writers and directors and still access the financial incentives that make them possible.
The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.
