As a result, democracies across the planet are now threatened by what might be called fossil fuel fascism – an extremist political movement that breaks laws, spreads lies and threatens violence in an increasingly desperate attempt to maintain markets for oil, gas and coal that would otherwise be replaced by cheaper renewables.

Finally, a more mainstream news org able to put out an opinion properly calling out the US as fascist, and “fossil fuel fascism” is an apt phrase to describe the deliberate effort by Republicans, billionaires and corporations to hinder progress and kill the planet for their own bottom lines.

I’ve become more emboldened to talk to people about how much better renewables have become and will be… clearly it’s having an effect against trillion dollar corporate and state backed PR campaigns.

Getting Hacker-News pro-AI boosters to read an AI-slop argument against the long term viability of AI is pretty hilarious to me.

Both would be nice, a treatment for those who were exposed to horrors of war and an attempt not to expose any more people to it?

Thanks for noticing, maybe 8-10 years too late?

Maybe I’m not well versed enough in this topic to understand, but I’m having trouble following this person’s argument. First they define materialism, then they talk about how change for the better doesn’t come only once the conditions are perfect, it evolves from a confluence of factors. I get that much. Then they talk about opportunism and how stooping to the lowest common denominator to build a movement leads socialists to fascism how Mussolini rose to power, and compromising their own values voting for the lesser evil (e.g. Hillary Clinton) would lead to fascism. I was confused for the rest of it.

Where I stand on what I think is the discussion is this: I feel that everyone ideologically should never lose sight of what they want, but to achieve it, it requires a proper transition path to help counter knee-jerk reactions and talking points. Coming at people with uncompromising and very specific jargon and dismissing attempts to dumb down things won’t get you far… simplifying your plan when explaining it isn’t opportunism.

Ok I have known something was off with Terminal UI interface, where things go bonkers resizing the window, repeated text everywhere. It definitely does click that updating a status by constantly rewriting will keep screenreaders yapping.

Best the US can do with its money is give their Gestapo a bigger slush fund. Also they can pretend the giant $4.6 trillion budgetary hole caused by billionaire tax breaks costs the US $0. These are your US Republicans who claim to be more responsible with taxpayers’ money.

Still waiting for them to put modded Truck Simulator footage for their live stream of ground equipment, since at least some of their plane footage was made with CGI.

The media are liars, the troops are liars, Democrats and some Republicans are liars, you’re a liar. When you think everyone around you smells like crap no matter where you turn, check your shoes (or your nappies).

European nations should just take turns ragebaiting Trump every week, then Trump and his followers will learn the names and leaders of their countries. Next up, Liechtenstein, your turn Prime Minister Haas!

Oshkosh definitely is like “We’ll haul anything: Your missiles to the launcher, your tank to the front line, your garbage to the dump, your firefighting ass to the blaze, your concrete to the construction site, yo mama up and down, your broken down truck to the mechanic, your mail someday… and uh… no idea how that sports car got in the shot”

Doesn’t lag for me, but it has a ridiculous animating background visual that doesn’t cover the whole vertical screen.

Damn, only $2000? If you’re a politician in Ontario, you gotta get on Doug Ford’s level!

That’s chump change, Carney, try a stag-and-doe event or a Cortelucci highway, uh, ‘fundraiser’.

Better late than never…

Real talk: IME gas prices at pumps in Canada appear to follow about one or two weeks after the benchmark rate. Yeah they’re greedy, but wait a week or so.

I would like us to be part of a Schengen Area and other mutual recognition to make it easier to travel and get work permits between Canada and EU nations.

We need to start accepting ISO/EN standards as an alternative option to UL and American standards.

In terms of becoming an EU member state, I’m open to it but don’t rush us to the front of the line. Ukraine, Morocco, Algiers and other north African countries, Norway, Balkans, etc., if any of them have put official Expressions of Interest they should be considered before us.

Probably after his daily briefing with Netanyahu. At this point he’s talking more with him than he is with JD Vance.

Our pointless war over your useless life. Love, Your Republican Senator.

This is the first one that wasn’t apparent at first even after seeing the image full size.

Not “exactly like” to me but my first thought it was an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Epstein that I thought this was what the AI that the Trump admin had slop this out was going for.
