If you're going to be in Portland, Oregon before February 8th, there is a great - and very interactive - exhibit on Ursula Le Guin, at the Oregon Center for Contemporary Art. Can't recommend this enough.

@adarsh my own experience in replacing a second car with e-bikes confirms that, and we're spending more money with local stores rather than driving to larger stores with easier parking. Also, the e-bike odometers only add to about 1/3rd of what was previously put on the cars per year, so it's […]

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Very good short essay about living as a household of four in 2025. This explains a lot about the material conditions the people actually struggle with. Give it a read!

There is only one political discussion:

Who deserves to suffer through poverty, chaos, and violence, and who is insulated from suffering?

That’s it. Every other political discussion is a derivative of this one. https://mastodon.social/@tess/115613452377202318
Dana Fried (@[email protected])
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. TL;DR: the *actual* poverty line in the US for a family of four with two young children is about $140,000, and there isn't much improvement in quality of life between $40K and $100K. https://www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-life-is-a-lie
