Never quite know what will grab my attention. I’ve moved on from just agreeing that climate change will drastically affect the next generations and am actively looking at ways to build resilience and support each other. My generation has to hold its hands up and admit we failed to prevent this. Sorry kids. Going to spend my remaining time enjoying the best of humanity not the worst - art, cooperatives, writing, music, history, film (I should have just said arts), random stuff, etc. He/him
We need to accept that things can change – in either direction: It really could get much, much worse. But it could also get better.
There is nothing inevitable about either doom or progress. We are neither fated nor guaranteed to experience the status quo for all eternity.
The lesson from U.S. history, if there is one, is not that progress is impossible. There has been tremendous progress at times!
But we must not assume directionality in history. There is no arc, there is no linear progression, no utopian end goal we are somehow destined to reach.

whenever somebody makes a choice I don’t agree with at work, I show them a goat and ask if they want to reconsider. Pretty effective technique!

@anon_opin what about “my children”?
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayHaving awarded a major contract to (controversial) data firm Palantir, a growing number of NHS staff are refusing to work with the firm's tools for ethical reasons, with wider passive resistance to its deployment.
One manger said: 'People are saying, ‘I refuse to work on this software. You have to find something else for me to do’... They’re calling it a workplace adjustment. [as] if you were disabled & needed a different desk, they’re literally treating it like that'!
@SatanicPanDick @pluralistic I used to work in typography and the space used by a capital I was the same as for the space between words so TO LET is spaced exactly like TOILET.
I estimate we’re a month or 2 away from a GB poll showing the Green Party in first place. In Jan 2025 Reform trailed Labour by about 3 points on average and led in a poll for the first time. Greens now trail Reform by about 6 points so it would be a big outlier but the direction of travel means the gap will narrow enough by May or June.
Just how astounding that is can’t be overstated.
