My breaking point was "They absolutely want your extinction". I loved Twitter, can't support this site now being run into the ground by an open white supremacist. I'm enjoying Threads, where I'm __jamisongray__. I hope all the great people I follow eventually show up there!

An important essay by @GeorgeMonbiot on why a nostalgic return to historical food systems would be disastrous for billions & the planet.

We need to look forward for solutions – not backward. Old methods will simply not feed 8 billion people.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

In an earlier era, a story like this would automatically end the presidential campaign of a Republican politician. But, hey, it’s Trump and it’s 2023 so 🤷🏽‍♂️

When can this reporter expect your apology, @elonmusk?

@bharat Mainly, I'm worried that it will wink out of existence, and take whatever we put there with it. There is _something_ going on with the fabric of reality here.

There's a convenient little shelf at the bottom of our fridge door, and NONE OF US EVER NOTICED ITS EXISTENCE FOR 10 MONTHS.

A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ — but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone — look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether.

This is not a game.

While people keep futzing around with silly talk of AI turning into Skynet, real Black people are being harmed by real ML in the real world.

Every person falsely arrested due to facial recognition has been Black.

Every. Single. One.

I hope people don't memory hole this moment, which was amazing at the time and has become even more so.

Remember how Elon Musk announced he would fund the legal costs for anyone who got fired for their tweets? Well there's a guy being executed in Saudi Arabia over his tweets (9 followers) and Elon is the executioner's (Prince Bonesaw's) close personal friend and business partner.

Anything to say @elonmusk about your second-largest shareholder in ‘X’ locking up people for posting on ‘X’?
