Ok, ‘Champagne Problems’ is complete Hallmark-Christmas-movie dross. I *swear* I didn’t watch it, I was busy Dad Taxiing and serving dinner, but I did hear this bit and (as a die-hard #DieHard fan) thought it was kinda hilarious.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

I was tempted to say ‘She almost got it’ but tbh I think she absolutely gets it, she’s just not having it. She’s looking at the facts in a clear-eyed manner and choosing her path.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

This works for climate action too.
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
