Summed up beautifully.
One of the strongest defenses the US has against the excesses & malicious stupidity of its own ruling class is the cultural tendency to hide one's own economic struggles because they have successfully painted economic struggles as an indicator of personal failings and weakness.
If anyone is curious about why so many people hold @patrickhwillems.bsky.social in high regard about cinema, look no further than his latest video about one of my all-time favorite, and very relevant movies. No gimmicks, no goofiness Mostly just really smart analysis praising the best to ever do it.

The Electronic Registration Information Center is the single organization best equipped to help states ensure "election integrity." And suddenly MAGA Republicans wanted nothing to do with it.
Data centers are almost too perfect as the flipside of AI. Don’t like how the computers are taking jobs, creating a surveillance state, eroding privacy, enabling the theft of entire creative industries? Wait’ll I tell you about the massive complexes they’re operating out of!
Trump’s fervent support for AI data centers has put him at odds with voters who increasingly oppose them and comes despite direct warnings that his stance threatens to deepen Republicans’ peril in the November midterm elections. bloom.bg/3UCQsjB

The Concord Housing and Redevelopment Authority installed Minut Monitor sensors in tenants' homes, recording their movements and noise levels and threatened them with eviction if they refused. We're suing. We shouldn't have to choose between having a place to live and 24/7 government surveillance.

So, now you can put bounties on things like tattooing things on your forehead, setting cars on fire, and quitting your job on stream. These are just the tip of the iceberg to the long list of humiliation rituals that people are putting up to laugh at other's misery. Maybe this shouldn't exist?

Where by making emissions a problem of the many, we skew the responbility for the problem away from the few. Climate is an inequality problem as much as it is a chemistry problem because it is the inequality that prevents solutions and locks in fossil fuel path dependence.

A climate scientist is clearly brilliant on climate science & the dangers of this moment. Even more powerful @kevinclimate.bsky.social says "As individuals we don't have much power. When we're a collective, we have so much power." It's time to take back our power. youtu.be/mBFos_T7cT0?...
The last half-decade has radically changed my understanding of how horror movies would actually play out. You’d have a couple people who would assess the situation correctly, and the rest would be running around howling misinformation, tripping everyone else up getting them fed into the woodchipper.
There is way too much overlap between influencer and pimp. Pimpfluencer. Been running into this content more and more and I get that it's ostensibly supposed to be positive, but something about guys interviewing vulnerable girls on the street gives me the ick. Exploitative.
Cat people of bsky! Japanese researchers just moved a cat kidney disease drug toward regulatory approval, after 25 years of work. If it reaches the market, the lead researcher says cats could live close to 30 years, double the current average of around 15.
“Each creation takes years to complete, and each is a masterwork. But patrons who have commissioned caves have cut off nearly all of his projects due to artistic differences." Looking around like “Yea, Ra this is beautiful… are those giant pairs of testicles surrounded by pentagrams?” “Yes.”
