@climate_kev1 Under any survival model we have to ask "Where does the food come from?" If it's too hot for crops to grow, what do we and food animals eat? It doesn't matter if you're safe in a ACed bunker, where does your food come from?

Air Conditioning isn’t going to save anyone from climate change. It may help you survive for now, but after a decade or two, civilization will collapse & you’ll need to get underground to survive. You won’t be doing that, you’ll just die.

my fav example is jacobo árbenz expropriating all uncultivated lands from large landholdings and compensating their former owners at the value declared on their most recent tax return, an agrarian reform that was fair, effective, and immediately precipitated a cia-backed coup

“Show us your papers” fans not very happy when it’s applied to wealthy NYC property owners. Interesting.

zohran reminding everyone that the funniest and most radical thing a government can do is take your self-reported tax statements seriously

I’ve been saying for a long time, this is going to be a ‘food price’ crisis, then a ‘food shortage’ crisis, then a ‘watching the people you love starve’ crisis.

My male coworker complained that my bra straps were showing, he called it “distracting” and said the male equivalent would be a woman seeing a man walking around with his penis out. I just looked at him and asked if he genuinely understood what a bra is. A bra is underwear. Genitals are not. The actual equivalent would be a guy wearing his pants low enough that his boxers are showing….which plenty of men do without anyone acting like it’s obscene. The fact that some men can’t tell the difference between underwear and genitalia says everything. And somehow, they’re still trusted to legislate women’s reproductive rights.

Chinese interview: The concept of atonement didn’t really exist in Ancient Greece and it didn’t exist in Homer’s Odyssey. It exists in your Odyssey. Did you Christianize the Odyssey?

American interview: spin the snack wheel and then read these thirst tweets they called you zaddy

Something that radicalised me was learning that the "carbon footprint" concept was popularised by the fossil fuel industry to shift public focus on climate change towards individual consumers n their lifestyle instead of at the corporations that are knowingly destroying the earth

I am begging everyone to stop outsourcing your brain to robots. Life is worth living only because we feel and control every part of it. Please don't give away your agency.

immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms it is deeply inhumane to have such massive differences in living standards across the globe and expect people to just accept that

[Ciarán @androgynator]

your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

When your nationality is british you are just a pop artist but when you are asian latino or african your continent becomes the category

It was a really beautiful testament to the human spirit that during a global pandemic we all turned against each other, abandoned the environment, and decided to price gouge everyone

@AA_Neu @sethharpesq Why wouldn’t you want climate Stalin? We have several climate Hitlers at the moment

@AA_Neu @sethharpesq I want a climate Stalin.

The Economist doesn't understand how good "eco-authoritarianism" sounds to the youngest denizens of the dying corpse of the neoliberal war state, where it's 100 degrees in upstate New York and Trump is this close to doing drone strikes on endangered grizzly bears

When you lose your health for real you enter into an eerie world behind the world and have to ask people if they’re willing to be in it with you for a while

..he died of COPD. his contract stated people weren’t allowed to smoke. and you think that it’s funny that y’all smoked anyway? around someone with COPD whose contract stated no smoking?
