Four paragraphs of dark blue text on a bright kelly green background. A squiggly line touches the left and right edges near the bottom of the image. Text reads: But, Klein and Taylor reveal, the new supremacist survivalists are far from impregnable. They have no vision of a shared future. All they offer are remixes of a bygone past: the nihilistic, sadistic pleasures of domination. If we're to meet this critical moment and defend what's left of democracy before it's smashed up beyond repair, we must break the doom loop, and find a new way of living together, rooted in our existence on this earth, in the here and now. A story not of end times - but of better times. This book shows us how.

The fight for the living world is upon us... back to writing!! 😰

Oh, you're very welcome. But until he's in prison and has paid restitution to the nation and the world for his wrecking ball months, our work is not done!

Nothing says "free speech absolutist" like having the president you bought kick people out of the country for saying mean things about you. What a weak, pathetic little man. #TeslaTakedown

Creepy chatbot PSA calls for AI regulation The ad calls for AI regulation just as Trump says he won't allow states to pass their own laws.

In the PSA, “Creepy-looking humans are cast as the voices and faces of real AI chatbots that have allegedly shared dangerous information with young users who engaged with them, like how to harm themselves and hide an eating disorder from their parents.”

This succeeded! The hearing happened, but you can still submit comments through Sunday!

Maybe the folks who decided this are TRYING to help us get some damn AI regulations in place....

"We experience profound cognitive dissonance when CEOs talk about how AI will create a prosperous future of creativity supported by Universal Basic Income, all while fighting tooth and nail against the taxation that supports even the most basic social safety net." —AECJ member Amy Wang in The Hill.

"Dems must pivot to energy affordability and also embrace nuclear power" is a take I've read several times just today, and not a single time did the author pause to contemplate the dissonance.

Musk says new Tesla software allows texting and driving, which is illegal in most states | TechCrunch Texting while driving is banned in nearly every state, even with the use of advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software.

After California sued Tesla for false advertising, the company quietly changed the name to "full self-driving (supervised)." Now Elon's like "hahaha, no supervision needed."

How many people will die because a Tesla owner listened to Elon? #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall techcrunch.com/2025/12/04/m...

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.

loved this conversation. Anyone need a crash course on why the intersection of AI, fascism and climate breakdown? We tried to cover it all!

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

It's time to change the trajectory.

THAN FORECAST 8 MONTHS AGO. And that forecast was already....high.

I'm sure this is fine, in all the ways: climate stability, water stress, social/political stress. It's gonna save us all, right, and we'll live happily and creatively ever after on UBI.
