The names of the other (mostly Iberian) folks follow…
Idea for a Mastodon tool:
1. Provide it with a URL where people’s names are listed
2. It searches Mastodon for each of them in turn to see if they are here
3. It returns possible matches for evaluation.

Re step 1, for example, a URL such as https://www.15-15-15.org/webzine/authors/ which lists 42 people
…Maybe I’ll learn some Spanish in engaging with it.
Anyway, the magazine’s message hits hard, but it needs to.
Here’s a poem from @gerrymcgovern, published in the latest edition. It opens with
“Collapse is coming
And it is a good thing
For those who love life
For what is collapsing
Is this toxic civilization
This Growth Death Cult”

“The energy transition built its manufacturing supply chains on a chemical produced as waste from the industry it is competing with”
is a pretty pithy summary.
“The long-run version of the same problem arrives as fossil fuel throughput declines in the future” should be a klaxon

…Broadly speaking, what the word “transition” encodes in the context of #energyTransition is that we can just swap ancient sunlight for present sunlight and the benign atmospheric dynamics it creates, and carry on doing the things we’re culturally accustomed to doing, and things will be ok.
This is false
I've had quite the day. Eaten alive first thing by midges, I had to go home for the midge hood and a long sleeve shirt.
Anyway, I've found out why this gap behind me has been down since I moved to the dale, nearly 3 years ago. In the base, at all sorts of angles, are stones that are up to 250 kg each.
I've been here until 4pm and I've dug out and placed 5 stones. I saw that countryfile episode with the old boy working with nice flat oolitic cotswold limestone.
No, not jealous at all.
I just had a look at my Trash folder and yup, these people are *still* emailing me in hopes that I will give them *thousands of dollars* to join their weird secret society.
I don't know if everyone who joined Dialog got an email like the one I was sent, but if you want to understand how at least *some* of those people ended up on those membership rolls, well, now you know: they were schmucks who'd never learned Yog's Law.
