From the @worldnuclear.bsky.social outlook report. Reactors under construction as of October 2025. I think China might be in the lead haha

Your boi is repping @portlanddsa.bsky.social at Sunday Parkways! Come talk to me about ecosocialism, books, the Trailblazers, whatever!

"Recommended Draft and City Council Consideration (Winter 2028)." It's interesting what we can fast track (money for the Blazers) and what takes years in this city (allowing more housing).

Exciting news: Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability has released the Inner Eastside Status and Timeline Report!

I've been thinking. Still workshopping this and it might not be super original but it seems to me there are really two ways of understanding the impetus of socialist thought. The difference is really a matter of emphasis rather than type, but it has profound implications for the socialist project.

if this is going to be the line then fuck these guys

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

Is it possible to die from eating too many blueberries? Ya boy's gonna find out

i was not initially opposed to making some kind of deal on moda renovations and now i would rather see the whole goddamned building demolished rather than give this out of town maga motherfucker a single ounce of satisfaction. build a massive housing tower and call it the fuck tom dundon plaza

"As the Aug. 4 election grows nearer, she has a tough task: How to convey to Michigan Democrats that Mr. El-Sayed is a poor fit to represent them in the Senate without pointing specifically to his background and policy positions?" What does this even mean? I guess the answer is to be racist.

What the fuck?? “While Mr. El-Sayed is fringy and radical, he’s also a Muslim man. Ms. Stevens is a white woman. This puts her at a disadvantage in the identity Olympics that internal Democratic Party politics have become.” www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

Unprovable Pet Crank Theory of mine is that a big driver of a lot of RTO-mania is a lot of the Boss Class is made up of sickos who only have families for the status symbol of it, quietly despise them, and are desperate to have the office as a place to go to not have to see their families.

The CEO of my employer was furious when not enough people attended the all-hands meeting in person (it was also live streamed). An email went out the next day saying everyone must RTO 5 days/week. They walked it back when they realized at least one office didn't even have enough desks for us all!

one old the other things is that apart from the trauma, WFH was both good and bad for us in a lot of ways, coming back from WFH was often done in an intentionally abusive way meant to assert the authority of the bosses, and in the immediate aftermath the layoffs began

Getting reaaaaal fed up of that phrase being used as a get out of jail free card.

The attitude of so many in the comments section of the internet* is “it’s all bad, who cares, move on” You don’t look enlightened or elite because of your “knowledge,” you look lazy and sad for not trying. Be a good human. Make good decisions. Learn. Try again tomorrow. *I know

Asking questions about policy is good. Challenging our allies and comrades is good. But an important corollary is that we are under no obligation to assume that everyone who asks questions does so in good faith.

New little guy just dropped. Crest-tailed mulgara. I love them.

One of the nice things about listening to extreme metal is you never have to worry about your favorite artists dating rich assholes. You do have to check if they tour with neonazis though so...it's not great out here for anyone lol

If this website were even 1/1000th the woke antifa mob I was promised we'd be having a months-long, Odyssey-level crashout about Olivia Rodrigo dating a random private equity guy.

NEW | California just reached a world-first solar milestone Over HALF (51%) of electricity generation across the whole month of May came from solar power. Battery storage is the big difference maker, enabling California to push the share of solar generation to this level.

For people outside the hardcore music scene, is it common knowledge that a lot of bands and fans are vegan and don't use drugs or alcohol (aka straight edge)? My general impression is that this would come as a surprise to some folks.

We already have "temples for public weeping"

Why racism was so important for control: "In Southern society, the plantation and slave owners were a very small minority....with their families, the slaveholders numbered perhaps a quarter of the white population at the most...only 7% of the whites owned nearly three-quarters of the black slaves."

Interesting quiz here. Allende's Chile makes sense. Not sure about Bernstein. Does this mean I need to read the book by @mattpolprof.bsky.social? 😁 12axes.vercel.app

I mean the major thrust of DSA's foreign policy essentially boils down to: 1) Respect the sovereignty of other countries 2) The existing global economic order harms low income countries and weaponizes debt 3) Zionism bad Anything else you've heard is probably not representative of the org overall.

DSA electeds and adjacents like AOC, Bernie, Tlaib, etc. have been miles ahead of the party establishment on most foreign policy issues so any criticism of them here seems laughably hypocritical.

People on Bluesky will really be like "That's DSA's foreign policy platform? That pales in effectiveness to the Democrats' platform" and then not mention that this includes funding genocide in Gaza and impoverishing millions of people with crippling sanctions.
