Regrowth, rewild,
re:vital, no child
left behind,
Before no wild
left behind,
ecosocial not ecocidal
Mutual aid or no survival,
from the egomaniacal,
death drive's revival,
of CEOs and their rivals,
Derive new goals & new means,

It really depends whether you like to see technology exist for its own sake, or if you think technology should serve the goals of directly bettering the lives of people when it's deployed

I think @billmckibben.bsky.social makes it very, very clear that solar ought to serve human needs

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

BREAKING: classism exists

SBS Australia (unofficial) @sbsaustralia.nzcow.com · 11h

📢 Diversity Council Australia says class bias is shaping career opportunities with 58 per cent of employers saying they prefer candidates from so-called 'elite' universities and 30 per cent preferring candidates from private high schools over public schools. Some even using these to filter out job…

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The level to which you guys have commercialized and commodified school sports, to the point kids are pretty much groomed their whole lives to become professional sports players is definitely a uniquely American thing.

He does a bunch of TV spots for comedic game shows and stuff.

Also, weird seeing Stephen Curry play the sinister role. He's a comedian here, managed to pull it off well though.

Someone probably should've leaned into that, at some point.

Decided to rewatch the worst Scream, #Scream3.

Although, it does mean Scream takes place in the View Askewniverse because Jay and Silent Bob are in it.

Loosely based on a true story, too.

Anarchists are known for our courage. We have gotten used to acting boldly in an array of contexts.

What is needed now is the courage to establish public positions around which a fighting movement can cohere.

This both scarier and simpler than many of the things we have done in the past.

Seen from the point of view of colonial history, climate transformation is not the accidental and indirect consequence of conflict; the environment is not the collateral damage of history, but a tool in its arsenal of transformations, a form of government over land, ppls & the relationship b/t them.
