This is very interesting (and yeah, I also had an initial “oh come on, that’s nuts” reaction to the first part of this article, but as I read on, I realized he was making some pretty compelling points)
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

I don't mind that there are billionaires. I just think they ought to pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as teachers and nurses and janitors do.
Does that seem unreasonable?

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

I was ecstatic
to see my first lantern festival
together we marveled
at the beauty
that people can create
wire & metal made magic
& I was a child again
made young by delight

Note that all these chatbots are made by billionaire sex pests, who are desperately trying to make other people see humans the same way they do: inanimate objects to be used for one's own whims.
The people making these, openly say they see other people as NPC's.

The thing about these guys forming relationships with chatbots is that they will start treating actual women like the chatbots.
And when real women don't fawn, don't glaze them the way these digital yes men do, express opinions, they will view them as *defective* chatbots.

Barb is getting the hang of her new magical ability, but she's discovering that when magic is involved, nothing is easy. Not work, not neighbours, & definitely not family.

Climate change IS everything, because we won’t fix it unless we build a more just politics, and if we don’t fix it, nothing else will matter.
“Climate change isn’t everything“ is becoming a go-to justification for delaying action.
This is - deliberately or inadvertently - a misframing of the issue. The point isn’t CC is everything, it’s that it’s essential to deal with.

When I was in care many of my housemates were Kosovan refugees.
The home sought to get them into local colleges, many had counselling as they had seen their own parents killed. We shared our stories and trauma trying to make community.
Now, the government wants anyone in the way to disappear

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.
