We aren’t enraged enough about what happened in Nepal.
This is how climate change will manifest.
The people with the least will suffer the most at first.
The elite will continue to pollute the planet and assume it will never impact them.
It will impact ALL of us eventually.
i have friends who suffer carpal tunnel syndrome and they still make art. i've seen blind ppl able to paint. i've seen ppl with no hands draw with their feet. even elephants and horses can paint
there's no excuse to use genAI, just pick up the goddamn pencil
Bringing this to the attention of my international audience:
Most Filipinos are not protected by the flood control projects conducted by our gov't. So especially during rainy season, we have to come up with our solutions just to survive.
I need more people to be angry at this.
The world’s oceans are reaching temperatures that could roil marine ecosystems and sap the ocean’s ability to take up carbon dioxide from the air

Earth absolutely can provide for more humans. It’s just that a certain harmful subspecies of human known as the “billionaire” contributes 1,000,000% more to the uninhabitability of the planet than the average human
I hate when people talk about having “nuanced” takes on generative AI. Like I actually do not think there is a middle ground to be had. I do think that if you use generative AI, you are a bad person who doesn’t care about other people, the environment, or yourself
genuinely evil that when I was a child I worried about this only to be told "they'll fix it don't worry" only for them not to fix it and actively make it worse
being super autistic about a ship is no joke bc one negative word abt it and i start shaking with anger like somebody just insulted my deceased grandmother
They WANT to destroy books, that’s kind of the point. Destroy rare books so they have the only copy, which is then fed into their plagiarism machine. No one can have the originals.
All they do is destroy, the planet, our ability to make a living, everything.
We make movies about saving the world as the real world hurtles toward ecological collapse.
We make movies about defeating diabolical villains while letting the real diabolical villains rule the world.
We make movies celebrating heroic acts while real heroes are imprisoned.
Somehow fighting the bad guys and saving the planet only ever stays in movie land. We are handed fictional triumphs in lieu of real victory.
And the problem is that far too many of us are content with this. Give us bread made by PepsiCo and circuses starring Robert Downey Jr, and that's good enough for us.
We can't keep doing this. We need to find our true heroism. Our world is in peril, and we can't let its rescue remain a decorative flicker on the silver screen.
