"climate protesters were tricked into opposing all new fossil fuel infrastructure by alarmist scientists -- and now they've broken all politics and construction," the sensible, ostensible climate reporter writes as a 10GW data center goes up in the background

People can’t seem to get it into their heads that without a functioning healthy planet you have no economy, no food, no AI, no wealth, no jobs, no security at all, nothing, that’s it, period, over.
Wake up, for fucks sake.

This is actually very well put

If you think about it, fossil fuels are deeply haunted as a concept: The remains of long-extinct species that once dominated the planet, whose burning at first seems to grant power and ease but eventually threatens the extinction of the species exploiting them.

It strikes me that AI is a sort of enclosure: expropriating the creativity of internet users to transform the digital landscape in such a way that those users can no longer earn a living (or even just hits) from that creativity.

@TheLastFarm I have a vague, semi-formed theory of various cultural trends that represent the death drive, and AI/data centers is definitely one of them. Destroying our actual environment to make ugly images of it. Sad.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

[Joseph Bouchard @GeopolWonk]

Rubio's Munich speech is an insulting example of the US's complete obliviousness to the mess it has created. You can't wreck the world's alliances and then come begging for partnership. Also, the colonial/imperial/racist stuff was very evident. Don't fall for the sanewashing

How do fossil fuels harm communities? My latest story for @commondreams has it all, from pipeline explosions and chronic pollution to extreme weather. When will Louisiana regulators put the state's people over LNG profits? https://t.co/1TIV8gWcIU

Can a documentary help decommission the US military empire? For @commondreams, I wrote about how @AbbyMartin and the @EmpireFiles team are giving it a shot with "Earth's Greatest Enemy." https://t.co/J8Kv3fMcFl

I know we are all going gaga over Carney, but Gaza, not Greenland, broke what was left of the liberal international order.

Somebody should run on just undoing all the 9/11 stuff. It's functionally August 2001 now. Get right on the plane. No ICE. Zoolander coming soon.

You can't get accessible healthcare, housing, safety, or childcare. But you'll get stormtroopers murdering people in U.S. streets and wars you never asked for. If there was ever a time for a general strike...

The whole project of this world seems to be to make human life utterly worthless. We are in an existential war for human life.
