Here's a free idea:

No refuelling private jets. ✈️

No matter what price they can afford.

Should be an obvious step 0 in a fuel crisis.
But we wouldn't ever do anything to inconvenience the ultra rich, would we?

I am 82 years old.
I have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, the Turmoil of 1968, Watergate, the Hostage Crisis, two oil crisis, disco, Reaganomics, 9/11.
The covid pandemic....
These past 11 months have been easily the most miserable era in America in my lifetime.
The hatred, the bigotry, the lies, the racketeering and pedophilia are beyond anything I have ever seen.
We are not going to hell as a nation.
We are IN hell.

In the space of the same week we’ve got one tech oligarch peddling a thinly veiled anti-Semitic notion that introspection was invented by intellectuals from “Vienna in the 1910s, 1920” to weigh down the “great men of history” with…[checks notes]…guilt?

Now another tech oligarch shits on _extrospection_ too, saying we should make his racist deepfake porn generating AI model responsible for scientific research going forward? Fucking burn it all down. 😑

#OnThisDay, 21 Mar 1945, Hannie Schaft, an active member of the Dutch resistance known as "the girl with the red hair", was arrested at a German checkpoint in Haarlem.

She was later executed, allegedly saying "I shoot better" after the first attempt to shoot her missed.

Hackers in the 1990s:
We will write code so powerful that no government will be able to stop it! They can't outlaw code if it's printed in a book!

Hackers in 2026:
Some fascists in some parts of the world are making moves towards maybe threatening us, though nobody knows how their laws are supposed to work, let alone how to comply with their conflicting requirements. Anyway let's bend over backwards to comply in advance and lock threads so we don't have to be held accountable for our cowardice.
