Air conditioning is an absolutely vital life-saving technology on a swiftly-warming planet, and people who claim it's somehow more shameful to cool a home than it is to heat one are idiots.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more.
According to Curtis, the rise of mass marketing in the 1900s changed the "citizen" into a "consumer". And I believe a similar shift is happening again.

Google pushed a mandatory update to 4a phones designed to "improve the stability of your battery's performance," but it wrecked a lot of devices, including mine. A full charge lasts less than 45 mins now.
No real explanation given for why this update was necessary.
