The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

These kinds of posts will come to be seen as pivotal moments in the war for reality.
I have just found out that some reprehensible fucking dork has made an AI chatbot based on the character I played on The Magnus Archives and *it has my voice*. I genuinely don't think I have ever felt so fucking violated. My actual voice. Saying things I have never said. I feel sick.

The totalitarian impulse finds its home in modernity and seeks a return to the insulating institutions of the modern. This is what terrifies us the most - that our instincts cannot meet the moment and form a politics of formlessness.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

America’s current policy is to spike energy use under the assumption that building more and more data centers will make machine superintelligence emerge, at which point the digital genie will solve problems the tech industry didn’t bother trying to address, or even opposed addressing.

He'll make mistakes and be imperfect but when it's sabotage, name it loudly. Don't let people forget who is really screwing them. The robber barons can't abide hope. So hope. Remember what tonight feels like and keep it alight. Keep showing up when they screw with buses and zoning. Hold the line.

From bitter experience, capitalism will cheat, bribe, set traps, and flood the zone with stories of 'ordinary people's dissatisfaction'. This win is a beautiful and hopeful thing and the energy that drove it must be kept up now. He'll need your support even more now. Hold the line.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

While I absolutely agree, this is an example of why I don’t like criticising ‘capitalism’ like it’s some incorporeal entity. Remember kids, capitalists are people too…
