Goodkvnce vs. shitkvnce : some ontological reflections

[via Omar Sakr]

the facts on the ground!

What's the deal with pumped-hydro energy storage? Can two artificial reservoirs and gravity compete with batteries? Erik Steimle makes the case for modern pumped-hydro storage.

there's a volts ep on closed-loop pumped hydro (you may have already listened!) Apart from the embedded carbon in the concrete I'm not sure why we aren't building these all over the place

do we really think the dems will retaliate tho? would love to see it

A really excellent novel, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Magical realist elements described always in prose that brutally enforces the mundane, much like the Town itself is always doing. For me the ultimate novel about post-Howard Australia. Make sure you read the acknowledgements at the end.

Royce have you read The Town by Shaun Prescott? He captures exactly this phenomenon in a way that exposes how horrifying it can be

The New Daily is owned by a conglomerate of (somewhat) union-aligned or at least union-influenced industry super funds

The imperial core should have expropriated its oil and gas producers decades ago, using their wealth and resources to pay reparations to the countries that were systemically de-developed by the likes of Shell and BP. Expropriation is good for people and planet.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza.

But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

she's done violence to her eyebrows I'll say that much

"What if the real doomer scenario is that we pollute the internet and the planet, reorient our economy and leverage ourselves, outsource big chunks of our minds, realign our geopolitics and culture, and fight endlessly over a technology that never comes close to delivering on its grandest promises?"

controlling our physical and financial livelihoods is no longer enough for the capitalists. they now intend to eliminate our ability to think, feel, and create altogether

OK well I feel like THIS time the proletarianised middle class will respond normally to their new station

I personally have attended lonely demos with like eight other tragic lefties and a dozen expat Karen/Kayin people, protesting the obscenities of the Burmese junta. People who want to call me antisemitic (for saying Palestinians deserve freedom) don't care that I did that

I keep being so confused about why this is an issue for the Vic ETU

It’s a fortune cookie fortune that says “Your heart’s desire is now within reach,” held between Abi’s burgundy acrylic nails

My fortune cookie was scarily accurate last night! 👻 Fortune cookie technology has become SCARILY powerful; we may even be approaching General Cookie Intelligence! We should add fortune cookies to every industry and government service to improve efficiency

Legal dust-up as asbestos industry sues Indonesian activists In Indonesia, activists who recently won a court ruling requiring mandatory labelling on asbestos products are now being sued for defamation by a global industry lobby group representing the world's biggest asbestos producers, including those in Russia and China.

The anti-genocide movement has been driven by below: activists rather than bureaucrats, people rather than NGOs, students rather than professors, etc. Almost without exception, the top echelons of society have tried to stop the protests, not the genocide.

It is massive. Thanks to Peter Deppeler on Twitter for the footage. #GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity

For the entirety of my adult life, if you said Israel was liberal democracy your view was considered respectable and went unchallenged, but if you said it was a racist state based on terror and continual ethnic cleansing, you'd be hounded and shunned. How's this looking now?

And it’s not like it wasn’t obvious for at least twenty years that it was an extremely racist apartheid state that has been building its citizens up for a specific, final, spectacular genocide. I could see it, I am not especially smart and I have no special powers of prediction.
