My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Just learned Amazon Prime in the UK is now showing the 'Pendragon Cycle' fantasy series, so in case anyone stumbles into watching it by mistake, know that it was made by far-right Trumpists at the Daily Wire, explicitly as violent right-wing Christian propaganda (this is a tweet by its creator)

Tweet from Jeremy Boering, creator of The Pendragon Cycle TV show: "As a teenager,@StephenLawhead's The Pendragon Cycle reshaped my understanding of faith, courage, and purpose. It rejected the shallow, “nice” Christianity of my youth and revealed a kind of Christian whose faith was forged in blood and sacrifice -- a world where the battle for king and country was inseparable from the battle for Christ and His Kingdom. That story changed me, and I’ve spent years bringing it to life for the screen."

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

Reading various new hot takes about romantasy and I realise I just don't care. A number of the opinions are valid, many are nonsense, most don't apply to me, none of it matters much. If there's smut let it be this kind rather than the narrow M&B formula. I'm unlikely to read any & that's fine.
