Rights advocate Lawrence Lessig outlined a framework called the Pathetic Dot Theory: that most digital power structures fall among four categories:

law, markets, infrastructure, & culture

I think this applies beyond digital spaces. And code can definitely impact at least 3 of these. […]

I think I remember this one because I picked it up and read it while my kid was playing, and it's very good! I would definitely recommend this one!

I actually see solarpunk kids books fairly regularly at the library!

An example is "Juniper Mae: Knight of Tykotech City," by Sarah Soh

I don't usually remember the names, but I've noticed that solarpunk has already taken off in a big way in kids books […]

This is very cool!

One note: in the age of generative AI, good media hygiene require a bit more citation: this was recorded and released by the Netflix show "Famous Last Words", which is a real show that interviews famous icons to release messages after they die. Goodall is the first […]

@kcarr2015 I'll be frank: I did not like this movie. I found the whole production to be shallow and frankly more than a little tone-deaf.

I want to add that I only learned during the credits that this is based on a Thomas Pynchon novel. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have bothered.

I'm gonna go on the record here: Thomas Pynchon is one of the most overhyped authors I've ever encountered. No disrespect intended. I'm just not a fan.

Here's the dev update. It's an examination of features of war/sports games that the dev wants to reimagine. Examples include emphasis on building character growth arcs into campaigns, making victory less important than story, etc.

It's crunchy, but fans of #gamedevelopment should take a look […]

Did you know #sunrisemovement is charging back up? Check out their upcoming trainings if you're looking for more #ecosocialism in your #antifascism :

https://smvmt.us/ourfuture

#ecosocialist #activism
End the Oligarchy, Save Our Future Training [Bay Area] · Sunrise Movement
SAVE THE DATE! It is the People vs. Billionaires. In this meeting, find out Sunrise Movement's plan to resist and build momentum across race and class towards the General Strike with the United Auto Workers. Learn about the connection between fascism and Big Oil, key organizing skills, mass strike strategy, and activism that garners public support. There is historic precedent for overturning elites who operate at the expense of others. We have the kindling for it again. There are more of us middle + working class than the elites taking our rights, healthcare, and hard-earned wages at a historic rate. ****Sunrise is proud to be a cross-class, multi-racial youth-led organization of folks 35 and under. Our 35 and older supporters can connect with us here: https://smvmt.org/supporter2025 There's much to overturn up to then, so learn how with us at this workshop! Location TBD closer to event day.
