This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

I just can’t believe this is real.

I'm pleased that the Netflix series Adolescence is prompting so much public discussion of this issue, but disappointed so much is simplistic 'ban smartphones' takes. This from Emily Writes was a refreshing change https://open.substack.com/pub/emilywrites/p/his-dad-is-a-bigger-influence-than

RNZ's descent into madness continues.

We’ve been taught to believe that the menace to society was the fraternity alpha male. It isn’t. Society is being subjected to the sociopathy of a bunch of tech CEOs who, in my view, did not get laid enough as young men. www.profgalloway.com/porn/

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

It always amazes me that the toilet crusaders never seem to pause and consider things like this. They're so fixated on their trans demons that they can't think about the real world.

Took this bunch out on a class trip today to Big Pop recording. I didn’t get a photo there. Nga mihi Cris Vander Geer and Joost Langveld you give time knowledge and encouragement to our teens . Pictured here is Flying Nun records our second stop.

Choose goals the are achievable Break down the steps Know your self What are you strengths Is there a job that would suit someone who gets distracted by interesting things? Oh yeah - being a teacher. The interesting things are the students

As I sat listening to Sam, the community lead, talk to our students about goal setting, I noticed a girls hair slipping into a hole. Goals help you not get distracted by interesting things .

So ups to all for helping to create the fuckery we are about to go through (again) & funding war tech etc. stay away from Scumify plse

It’s all so exhausting.Thank god we have music. I thought I’d post something from an overgrown back garden in West Auckland, NZ.

Save the date 🌈🍒💚
