So… big news.

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

@astra.bsky.social and I believe in writing books that are tangibly useful to movements, which is why we are busting our butts to get this one out ASAP, well before the midterms.
Two paragraphs of white text over top of a dark teal and mint green colour washed image of a rocket launching into space. Text reads: In this blistering reckoning with our age, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex - and show us how to resist it. Around the globe, they investigate how those who are making our world unliveable through climate chaos and job- consuming Al are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it's by repairing to luxurious private islands for the super-rich, rocketing off to Mars or bunkering nations against a dehumanized 'other'

Because here's the thing: besides the messianic religious fanatics wanting to build the Third Temple and the tech oligarchs wanting to circle the planet in data centres, EVERYONE - across the political spectrum - hates where they are taking us.

I've been a bit quieter than usual these past months because @astra.bsky.social and I have been going deep into what we are calling End Times Fascism. The research has been bleak, I won't lie, but it's also been inspiring.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

A few important points here

- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false

- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

It was time a decade ago. It's way past time now.

Enviro studies graduates tell me that the only jobs on offer are in oil and gas.

That is cruel.

They desperately want to be part of building a thriving future, not burning it down.

They have the skills, they deserve the opportunities.

It’s time for the NDP to tell the truth: we must get off fossil fuels fast—with no worker left behind.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

“To win the energies of intoxication for the revolution – this is the project about which Surrealism circles in all its books and enterprises,” Walter Benjamin wrote. “This it may call its most particular task.”
