Had a horrible run recently of people talking, in some cases nearly screaming, during almost every single movie I’ve seen in theaters recently. I dunno if people have just completely forgotten how to act or what but it’s made me apprehensive about going! Which sucks! Because I love movie theaters!

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

‘dear rax, the VP at my day job is an AI true believer and it fills me with despair — is hope lost?’
www.patreon.com/posts/143594...
What I do know is that AI is not your fucking game and it's not mine. You see your slop-gobbling VP going one way, you go the other way. You hear me? The LLM-lubbers go one way, you go the other way. Hell, the hard part's done: you already know you don't want to live an AI-inflected life. A whole lot of people out there don't realize that yet, and for some of them the knowledge will only come after a great deal of pain, but you know what you must do. Write a novel, write a poem, scribble them on printer paper when your VP isn't looking if you have to. Get flowers for your desk and frames for your photos, write longhand in a diary every day. Buy a secondhand DVD player and secondhand DVDs. Smell a library, pull faces at a baby, splash cold water on your face. Call your friends on the phone even though it sucks and everyone hates it because texts and DMs suck more, just nobody realizes it yet. Pay for more things with cash and drop the change in a desperate man's paper cup. Cook enough of every meal to share with your neighbors, especially the unhoused ones. Sing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" at karaoke because it's fun and everybody loves it. Live a life out in the real, palpable world that you can be a little proud of; refuse assaults on its dignity. You can only do what you can do, and life will feel wonderful again once you truly get that—fuck, I'm tearing up, believe me, it will shock you how wonderful life still feels. And the rest, again, is not your game.

🚨NEW STORY 🚨

Last month, over 400 activists were imprisoned by Israel for trying to bring aid into Gaza. 1 of them was Zue, an army vet.

Here, me and Zue discuss her voyage to Gaza, imprisonment, NOLA's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, & more.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

In New Orleans, I always encourage folks to support the smallest, most direct service orgs, and that goes for food programs, too. Community Kitchen, Trans Income Project, and NOLA Cans 4 Food are all feeding people without a lot of nonprofit nonsense. Find them on instagram, give money and/or time!

Have you noticed plane turbulence is getting worse?

It’s not your imagination. It’s climate change.
profpaul.bsky.social Prof Paul Williams @profpaul.bsky.social · Oct 14
Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the air less stable and more conducive to turbulence.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

I have to shout out Katie who's been crushing it especially this year with heavy duty feature Q&As, and I would also like to use this post to say if you are a photographer who can write, or a writer who can take decent photos, you will be practically unstoppable as a journalist/storyteller.
