My advice:

If you feel grief - take walks.
If you have a dog - take walks.
If you think too much - take walks.
If you want to be productive - take walks.
If you hate the results of the election - take walks.
If you want to maximize the time you have left in this world - TAKE WALKS.

Workers are so capitalism brained that they think economic prosperity comes from something called "jobs", and in order to be rich we need to hoard all the jobs to ourselves. The Chinese can't be doing our jobs! And god forbid a computer does them for us.

This is a key constituent of fascism & the very essence of ‘Muskism’: promoting bullshit, silencing truth-tellers & calling the whole grift ‘free speech’. Twitter as a rehearsal for the USA.
Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats

“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.

"Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. The whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan"

This is a war not *just* against the living planet, not *just* against the common good, but against the very nature of material reality. The ultimate expression of power is to say "night is day", and have others believe you.
