@climatebrad Rhodium specifically told him that this wasn’t a climate bill. Just saying whatever it takes at this point

@aleccward @SEIA This analysis assumes that ZERO new wind or solar permits are issued beyond 2028, which is a hilarious and baffling assumption. Of course it looks good if you assume something so ridiculous

Blowing up Huang's open secret affair same week that Democrat tsunami swept midterms tell us new Silicon Valley strategy:

[gaynard dubuisson @reallyevildevil]

there is a scene in godzilla minus one (the first one) where a guy basically looks into the camera and says “we could kill godzilla right now….. if it wasn’t for article 9 :(“ so i feel like if youre wondering if these films are right wing, it’s a pretty open and shut case

Economic populism also means dethroning economics. It’s not the job of economists to dictate how our economies should be run but to find solutions to implement democratically determined goals.

[Noam Scheiber @noamscheiber]

It's a good point but labor historians are way ahead of you on this--the only difference being that they call it "degradation." It's the thesis of Jason Resnikoff's excellent book "Labor's End: How the Promise of Automation Degraded Work." https://t.co/SsKvXioOOA

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

@SolidScarce Yes definitely, although Possible Love touches on some of those things too. Wasn’t really meant to be shade about PCW or No Other Choice. A lot to like about both, just observing the difference in approaches

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

The directors’ class backgrounds become very clear when you watch these movies. it’s convenient for workers to be erased by capital/tech in No Other Choice to neatly make its point, whereas Possible Love confronts and wrestles with those displaced workers head-on

[panda @kxreeda]

Possible Love feels like No Other Choice's older and more depressed brother, gut-wrenching stuff

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

@namxn3 both identify the right enemy. I was in awe of how Possible Love depicted the union in the group therapy scene and the workers who don’t just disappear, but continue to survive.

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

@namxn3 Sorry wasn’t meant to be shade about PCW. I enjoyed his films, but I think their backgrounds inform what images and ideas each find compelling. For instance, lingering on the image of Man-su alone in an automated factory, vs the “dead” continuing to exist alongside the living

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

PCW is from a prominent Seoul family. Lee Chang-dong is from a poor family in Daegu. Both are capable of meaningful art, but their approaches on their respective films feel deeply informed by those backgrounds

[saza @ohmisola]

THIS. Seol Kyung-gu should be at the top of the Best Actor convo this year. He's incredible in Possible Love. even in silence, he has this inexplicable presence you just cant look away from. Such a devastating performance. Won't forget this anytime soon...

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Lee Chang-dong’s critically acclaimed ‘POSSIBLE LOVE’ is now streaming on Netflix.

Starring Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong.

@Banchmazin amazing things etc etc

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

@SiegelScribe now he's just straight up lying. his own colleagues in the senate were caught off guard by how bad many of the provisions were

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

@DaveV15 who exactly is “we”? Is it your funders and bosses at Amazon, Google, Meta, etc?

[Isabella M Weber @IsabellaMWeber]

Affordability just revived democracy. But to safeguard it, Democrats have to change the playbook, not just the slogans. The economy needs to be rebuilt from the essentials up — to restore public power, put a floor under livelihoods, and a ceiling on private wealth.

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

Techno’s originators (their families) reaped the benefits of hard-won worker rights, but at the same time those rights were being eroded by bloodsuckers at the big 3 and feckless, corrupt UAW leadership. It is music that envisioned the future while surrounded by gradual decay

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

Juan Atkins created incredible music, but techno was middle class music made possible by good union jobs in the auto industry. The takeaway shouldn’t be lying and say it’s “working class”, but that it was only possible because those jobs afforded dignity and creative freedom

[Anita Zsurzsan 🇵🇸 🕎 @iamjourjean]

Juan Atkins's passing is a reminder that techno was invented by Black working class kids, not white bourgeois douchebags in Berlin whose labels and platforms profit from the Palestinian occupation and genocide. Thank you for coming to my TED talk on music history

[sluggishprinter @sluggishprinter]

Atkins himself said “So what happened is that you’ve got this environment with kids that come up somewhat snobby, ‘cos hey, their parents are making money working at Ford or GM or Chrysler, been elevated to a foreman, maybe even a white-collar job.”
