Lots of truly terrible stuff is happening in the US government, but 2 senators just reintroduced the "Dark and Quiet Skies Act" to protect the sky from light pollution and satellite pollution and that's a really big step in the right direction! […]

@corbden I agree, but also, understand your enemies not by what they say - both to themselves and to others. Abusers lie by their very nature to everyone. There's no need for yet another "NYT profiles MAGA voters to help liberals understand them". They hurt other people because they have […]

I love how I have to explain to the less terminally-online people in my life that AI is getting shoved into everything because Peter Thiel literally believes it will slow the coming of the Antichrist, very cool and fun world we live in, I love sounding like an unhinged person

This is an example of the flaws of an undeveloped extrospection. People tend to think everyone else reasons like they do, even their enemies.

An authoritarian worldview values loyalty above principle. They expect us to be like that, to protect our own over holding to what is morally right and […]

Falconhoof streamed a let's play of Disco Elysium. So my inner accent on the week is a deep Scottish brogue.

WaPo: “U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Sometimes it's weird to remember just how recent history was. Like there's still living people who marched with MLK Jr and Malcolm X. There's probably still people who survived the Kent State Massacre. A few people who survived the Holocaust. Lots and lots of people who were there in Berlin when […]

As I prepare to write the script for this #solarpunk film, I gather my thoughts to clarify the ideas I want to put out clearly, and so this blog post hints at life in this future without a centralized government, no police or military, and no capitalism.

I need your support to make it! Please […]

Everyone edits out my use of "contrawise."

I grew up in a culture where alcohol use was not allowed and was severely judged.

Pressuring people to drink *is exactly the same thing*.

Monopoly as in, owns every outlet for a single product, or monopoly as in, owns a large piece of many or most related and unrelated products across the field.

I feel like the feeble attempts to check monopolies in the US in the last 50 years have failed because they ignore how the second […]

Attached: 1 image Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo did something that stunned the world during the 2010 Zheng-Kai Marathon when she witnessed a disabled competitor struggling to drink water who was a double amputee. Instead of seeing her moment to run ahead of this struggling athlete, she ran alongside him from the 6.2-mile mark to the 23-mile mark (10km mark to the 38km mark), helping him drink water at all of the watering stations. The aide that she so compassionately provided her fellow competitor slowed her run time down and caused her to lose her first place position and place 2nd in the race — costing her the win and the $10,000 cash prize. Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo showed the world that day that to her, being compassionate and helping one another was more important than winning a race that she had been preparing for her entire life. Now, this is what a true leader looks like, one that never leaves someone behind, disadvantaged or otherwise.
