Greenpeace, let me correct this:

"the link between inequality and environmental destruction becomes undeniable"

For THIS:

The link between CAPITALISM and environmental destruction becomes undeniable.

If we denie that our mode of production is the base of inequality and environmental destruction, we are doing just gardening, not ecology with social consciusness (as some phrase out there says)

I didn’t call this talk technofascism but I could have. Maybe “surveillance capitalism” just wasn’t scary enough a term?

Since becoming something of a 'Digital Nomad' (ew buzzword) I have been buying eBooks on Amazon. (ew again)

With the impending kibosh on downloading your eBooks, I tried some of the existing downloaders, but it was a pain to get them running. So I whipped this up for use in your developer tools console.

I just downloaded my 212 books in 5 minutes.

Das erinnert mich an die AfD-Wähler mit ausländischen Wurzeln, die der Meinung sind, man sei ein „guter“ Ausländer und deren Politik werde schon nicht auf sie zutreffen.

Funny, but they were fine with other people's lives being ruined.
Everyone thinks they are the exception until they realize they're not.

"The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone.

In a polarized society, it takes rare talent to find common ground across the political spectrum

American readers with an interest in #cooking, hear me out - I have a proposal!

I know that the next few years are going to suck a lot for anyone who is not a TechBro billionaire and their chosen cronies. Which means that a lot of people have to get rather thrifty with their dwindling finances.

Which brings me to my idea: There are a _lot_ of old cookbooks in the public domain - published during WWI, the Great Depression, and other times - which focus on "economic" or "thrifty" cooking.

Thus, a writer with relevant interest could revisit all those recipes, update them for the modern area, and publish them together with economic analysis of what aspects of meal preparation were cheap and which were were pricey then, along with what makes them pricey _now_ - including how late-stage #Capitalism screws the consumer over!

The end result would be a book that combines advice for thrifty cooking with increasing political awareness in these trying times! How does this sound for a book idea?

Corporations will not stand up to fascism. They are engines to create profit for shareholders so protecting profit is their only guiding principle. They will bend to the felon-in-chief rather than face costly repercussions from a petty tyrant who wields unconstitutional power without any oversight.

Immanuel Wallerstein and the Life and Death of Capitalism

Kim Stanley Robinson frames the climate crisis as a battle between scientific survival and capitalism's profit-driven paralysis.

He characterizes our civilization as being in a state of zombie denial regarding the unfolding ecological collapse.

We must overcome capitalism's grip so that science and tech can be directed towards guaranteeing housing, healthcare, and climate justice.
