Remember the claim that we couldn't force a rush to renewables too soon, because it just wouldn't be fair to "developing nations" (i.e. the global majority world)? Welp, turns out they're willing and eager to get in on renewables, and are doing really, really well with them. So.

I think about this a lot -- I read her memoir and it really hit home for me that she quietly was the person who wrote all of her hit songs and people simply assume it was some dude who is smarter than her when she's the brains behind the operation

“Violence isn’t the answer” = let them do violence against you without fighting back which makes some kind of a statement about how much better you are as a person

No.

Scare them back until they fucking stop.

Marginalized people rely on that thing to avoid harassment campaigns before they come. To shut it down because an employee of Bluesky was found to follow the Heritage Foundation is irresponsible.

So, as part of Taylor Swift's album rollout, there was a scavenger hunt involving videos that looked *really* AI-generated. So #SwiftiesAgainstAI became a thing and now the videos are impossible to find. Fandom outrage can be good!
