The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Only kind of related, but I went on IMDB to remember who else was in the ROBOCOP 2 cast and this dude's IMDB profile headshot is him getting devoured by a TREMORS graboid. That's cool as fuck.

In a movie full of psychopaths and sickos, somehow Noonan’s minor turn in Heat is more Terrifying Freak Shit Happening Underneath than anyone else and it isn’t close. A colossal talent, and a true loss.

sorry I have values
Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others."
But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

mostly won’t be listening to you, when the man started this film with a boot on the face of a confederate, drowning him in the mud, I leaned forward in my theater seat and stayed in that position for 150 minutes

One of the many things that fucking ROCKS about this movie is how every actor in it brings such reverence for the project. Everyone understands the sacredness of the story they’re telling and is locked in, muttonchops groomed, waistcoats pressed, lfggggg

Not really talked about much as one of the great Oscar injustices but every voting body flocking to Chris Terrio over Tony Kushner that year is legitimately deranged stuff (and I really like ARGO)

Jarred Harris wasn’t sure how to interact with DDL on set, as he was an Englishman playing Grant and didn’t want to break DDL’s focus by using the “wrong” accent.
Then one day, they got placed on the same golf cart and and DDL in full Lincoln voice asked him what was going to happen on Mad Men.

I might be in the minority, but this is my favorite DDL performance, he conjures a real human out of a myth and also makes you understand how that real human became a myth. He’s also very funny, which helps bsky.app/profile/scre...

Lol Donald Trump is the president, the idea that anyone can be legitimately criticized for lack of experience is dumb.
It’ll be an attack but only from people who can’t say explicitly why they think she isn’t qualified to be president
