“Despair, in its own strange way, is a form of false confidence. It’s a sense that the future has already been decided and there’s nothing we can do about it. In fact, the future is something we make in the present.” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social
How to stay hopeful in trying times - The Boston Globe
Rebecca Solnit, the author of "Men Explain Things to Me," says despair is a luxury.

As the article (in thread) says, outsize SUVs cost the public purse more in terms of strain on the infrastructure & pollution, and are far more dangerous for pedestrians & cyclists. Yes, we should tax them and their usage heavily. Why on Earth should the rest of us subsidise this obnoxious trend?

“In 2024, a record 1,213,385 cars wider than 1.8 metres were sold.”

Members back at work today after taking lawful strike action are now being threaten with disciplinary procedures if their auto-replies mention the reason for their absence during future strikes.
In what trade union world is this acceptable?

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Dirty Dancing teaches that abortion rights are good and you should never date a guy who reads Ayn Rand, which is 90% of what you need to get through life
What’s a good movie that makes a strong political or moral point?
