Hungary's PM Péter Magyar: “Due to the further drop in the Danube's water level, one of the last two generating units at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant will be shut down at 1:30 am… “…tomorrow it will be completely shut down for the first time in 44 years.” #climatecrisis
"Antalya on fire..." Yes, this is the Turkish city due to host the next UN climate conference, COP31, this November
1/ "Capitalism” was first coined in France in the early 19th century. It began as a fusion of 2 distinct sets of ideas. The 1st involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The 2nd involved thinking about the division of labour" War makes the State. Its not just about Class war
Last May when I was living off grid solo up the coast I finally got around to harvesting a few oysters for my supper. They were really good!

Sitting quietly by the sea in Desolation Sound I met this lil guy. Garter snake sub type with turquoise under the chin, foraging along the rough and salty shore. Amazing how they have adapted to be able to swim in the saltwater.
One of the best sandwiches you can eat during this time is tomato, mayo and salt.
My girlfriends: Why on Earth would you want to unplug fm everything & go up the rugged coast of BC to solo tent camp off-grid for a month at a boat access only piece of wilderness land that doesn’t even have a camping platform? Me:
I’m back fm camping solo off-grid up the rugged BC coast at a boat access only wilderness property to get away fm it all… & guess what my biggest challenge was? A local man who kept harassing me & intruding on my land until I roped in neighbours to help & went to town & file a police report on him.
Yes. The ‘platforms are neutral’ fallacy needs a thorough, loud and repeated debunking.
Robin Berjon@robin.berjon.com · 2mo agoThis is something that will stay with me. There are people who'll see the owner being an explicit Nazi, openly state he wants to undermine democracy, be gleeful that he's killing people, fine with generating CSAM of tragedy victims, and they'll be like "yeah, I don't think it's that bad."
if you told 10 year old me that the coming political era would position this broad wing of political actors as having the market cornered on masculinity I would have found that pretty unintelligible
Here is my second, substantive essay since launching my Substack two weeks ago. It introduces the approach, framework, and argument, in my best known book. tinyurl.com/DGRintro
I’ve been fasting from the news and it has been so healthy. Have also been offline as embarking on living off-grid solo up the rugged coast of BC, Canada. I’m living out of a tent in this endeavour on a piece of wilderness property in Desolation Sound.

It’s pretty clear that the “Thou shalt bear in pain and suffering” thing was a punishment made by men—*not* any god. And their impulse to continue with this generational amnesia epigenetic PTSD blame women for BAD STUFF thousands of years insanity apparently has no end. They must be made to stop.
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · 3mo agoThis is their goal but it's not JUST an abortion drug. It's also used to treat stuff like Cushing's I'm pointing this out because the crackdown on reproductive health (they also want to get rid of birth control) doesn't just stop there. It has knock on effects for female health broadly*
Not only is this efficient and beautiful, but it’s gonna make a bitching setting for a chase scene in some future classic film.
Today, the father of a little girl who was 6 and murdered at Sandy Hook said that the courts keep enabling an abuser and my heart actually hurts. That could be Jet. That could’ve been my little girl.

Finally finished @adambecker.bsky.social’s FANTASTIC new book MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER. It’s so good! I could not put it down. It’s about tech billionaires, space, AI, and pretty much everything that’s so relevant right now. I truly truly loved it! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/adam-...

renewables aren’t enshittefied enough for oligarchs
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · 4mo agoI think not enough people understand that the pushback against renewables and EV's is money. Without getting too in the weeds: renewables cannot ever be as profitable as oil and gas. EV's don't make as much money as gas guzzlers. That's it. That's all you really need to know.

This would be great. My dh and I have Rad bikes and love them.

Easter is a time of renewal in nature and in us. It's also when nettles are tenderest and tasty in soup. Nettle nutrition helps detox away winter apathy and infuse you with vitamins B, C, K, calcium, folate, iron, manganese and potassium. Getting stung is a bonus; it lowers systemic inflammation.
