Here to see the weird, old internet. I like great stories whatever the source, uplifting ones for preference.

Cancel every last one if possible.

All of that AI slop money could have gone to installing equipment for safe air in schools, hospitals, and public transit, powered by renewable energy with minerals mined by people receiving fair wages in a much safer workplace.

We could have avoided the high death toll of COVID and prepared for the next pandemic.

Instead we get even shittier code, abuse images, far-right bots, dodgy tech in healthcare, and even more precarious state of things for artists.

Landscape isn’t decoration—it’s climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and water‑logging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good
Supports birds, insects, and broader biodiversity
Works with climate conditions instead of fighting them
Provides psychological calm and physiological comfort

Anybody considering coming to the US for the World Cup shouldn’t.

It’s not safe with ICE & Border Patrol terrorizing people in the streets.

They won’t care if you have a passport.

They won’t listen when you tell them you’re here for the World Cup.

You could be dissapeared & flown to a country you’ve never been to.

Watch the games on TV or on the web. It’s too risky.

Most work is caring for other people.

“I would propose that we just rip up the discipline of economics as it exists and start over. This is my proposal in this regard: I think we should take the ideas of production and consumption, throw them away, and substitute for them the idea of care and freedom.

As feminists point out, even if you are making a bridge, you are making a bridge because you care that people can get across the river. You make a car because you care that people can get around. So even production is just one subordinate type of care as what we do as human beings is take care of each other.”

Terry Pratchett on militant decency and justifiable anger

serial ephemera - 

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Does anyone anywhere have a #solarpunk graphic novel or comic they recommend? The only one I could find was "No One's Rose".
