Venting is only writing “this sucks, this hurts, I’m angry”
What David Roberts starts with is “ ‘Rebuild.’ Pssh.”. That is defeatism because he is dismissing creative and restorative efforts as moot, pointless, and impossible

I will never forget the face of the nurse in the hospital who told me my newborn baby had lost a terrifying amount of her birth weight because I was not giving her enough milk.
I pumped for eight fucking weeks, every two hours, around the clock, trying to give her enough milk.

I mean to tell you that as I studied their words, I was sometimes fooled. Fooled about their words. Fooled about my own. Fooled about the nature of words. Fooled most of all into thinking that anything was ever about anything other than the relation of words to power, which needs no further words.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

Pope Leo XIV just did what almost no one in power will do: he told tech giants that AI built for profit alone is a threat to human dignity.
This isn’t anti-technology.
It’s a demand that the most powerful machines on earth answer to something higher than the market.

Pope Leo: AI Must Serve Humanity — Not Just the Powerful Few
In a message to tech leaders, Leo insists that artificial intelligence be guided by ethics and serve the common good. It’s one of his major theme — one that’s earned him ridicule from Silicon Valley.
