- SSD prices have risen 10x recently because data centers are buying them in huge numbers - there are many powerful open source LLMs that can run locally on personal computers, do not need data centers - the massive data centers being forced upon us are for total surveillance

Can you expect anything other than treachery and deception from the US?

If it were possible to assign a monetary value to the harms that the techno-fascist and imperialist Elon Musk has done to the world, he’d have a net worth many trillions of dollars in the negative. And he’s not done yet, so his real net worth to humankind will go lower still.

We are proposing to save the planet by destroying many of its remaining natural areas. Boundary Waters, MN Thacker Pass, NV Trout Creek Mountains, OR Patagonia Mountains, AZ Northern Sweden. Myanmar. At some point, the solution becomes part of the problem.

Iran knows full well that the US, like Israel, lacks honor and can never be trusted. That this is a temporary ceasefire before they resume their vicious imperialist aggressions. The US will prey upon the world as long as it can because it is the world's epicenter of moral and spiritual degeneracy.

Bread and circuses. Beer and football. While they bomb and burn down the world. Those who offer this spectacle are the same techno-fascist imperialists who want total control over our world and our lives. Boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Under capitalism we parasitize other people and live off their lands, labor and lives. These people tend to die quite early, so we need to keep finding and making more of them to parasitize. This parasitism is the backbone of our modern techno-industrial prosperity and progress.

The AI invasion of our lives will be catastrophic like the invasion of Asia, Africa, Americas and Australia by European colonizers. If only the natives had burned down the European ships and terminated their crew. Now we should know better than to let the AI conquistadors in.

Dry soil running through a farmer’s hands. Industrial wind turbines in the background. And a story framed entirely as economics and weather. Modern systems are simultaneously becoming more technologically sophisticated, less resilient, less productive, and more fragile.

The solution to AI and data centers is fire. Sometimes you need to burn things down to protect the world.

China is the leader of the free world.

Deserts aren’t places where life “struggles.” They’re places where life is specialized. Turning them greener doesn’t improve them. It replaces them. And rainfall created in one region isn’t free. It’s borrowed from atmospheric systems that connect continents.

All hopes of addressing the climate crisis have been extinguished as the US-led Zionist-imperialist West charts a genocidal and ecocidal path forward. Climate and biosphere collapse will derail their plans and make them suffer, but unfortunately others will suffer more.

A rare desert plant is growing bigger and producing more fruit under the panels. What it leaves out: ~11 square miles of habitat were cleared, including habitat for the desert tortoise. This is how ecological reality gets inverted. A species response is not an ecosystem.

Nations that have survived and done well in human development (health, education, security) terms despite sanctions from the US and the West should be role models for the world re. climate resilience. Instead we side with the West in real material terms and support their destruction.

The river was not just water moving downhill. It was energy moving inland. That movement is gone. New piece in Mongabay, with a companion essay:

Never trust the US, Israel, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia. Never ever ever. The rest of the world, we need to end trade and diplomatic ties with these nations. They do not deserve to be part of the global community of nations. They deserve to be impoverished and weakened.

I don’t give a single fuck about this Artemis mission around the moon. It is a useless space fantasy distraction from an evil empire made possible by its genocidal imperialist depredations in the past and present. Those astronauts aren’t heroes, they’re fucking Americans.

Americans don’t want to be ruled by a hypothetical king but it seems they’re fine with their president announcing his intent to annihilate an entire nation and civilization. A despicable nation with whom the world must cut all trade and other ties until it implodes.

Donald Trump has announced a "civilization-ending" genocide of the Iranian people. Trump and his team are eager to use nuclear weapons on Iran. This is the bleakest, most dangerous moment in history. The US is a genocidal terrorist nation, and its citizens and residents are fine with it.

The rest of the world should work together to impoverish the Euroamerican West by cutting trade and stopping or greatly restricting the supply of material and energy resources to those Zionist-imperialist nations. The degenerates must be made to suffer and taught to behave.

Are they praying to God? Useless liberals with their performances. What a joke.

Volkswagen's factories in still-Nazi Germany should be destroyed.

If Israel drops nuclear weapons on Iran, it's because the US wanted it and allowed it. Remember that. Screenshot: x.com/BrianJBerlet...

Why are there no mass protests in the US and elsewhere in the West when the US and Israel are mass murdering civilians in Iran while also expanding the genocide in Palestine to Lebanon? Do you intend to verbally disapprove now and enjoy the fruits of war and conquest later?

If there is a terrorist attack in the US around the corner, Iran didn't do it. The US and Israel did it. Let everyone know in advance of warmongering empire propaganda.

It increasingly looks like Netanyahu and several other top Israeli leaders have been killed. This is the best surprise of the century. The world seems to have changed so much in just two weeks. There is hope to defeat Zionism and Western imperialism. We cannot thank Iran enough.

Netanyahu is pining for the fjords.

Iran 🇮🇷 has shown the Global South that the US-led Zionist-imperialist West are just terrorist thugs. We can cripple them if we work together on sanctions and mutual defense. The future of life on our planet depends on dismantling Western supremacy. Iran has shown it can be done.

It’s not that Mamdani has given Zionists an inch and they’ve taken a mile, but rather that he intends to give them the whole mile inch by inch.

My country Nepal, where Gen Z mayhem led by folks involved with the US embassy and US-funded NGOs toppled the government and paved the way for a neoliberal fascist party to sweep last week’s general election, has just banned Iranian citizens from obtaining on-arrival visas.

And if the US sends troops on the ground in Iran I hope they all get slaughtered.

The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

No mention on the Haaretz headline at any point that this was about Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner

Ancient forests are not simply collections of trees. They are centuries, sometimes millennia, of accumulated soils, fungi, nutrients, and relationships. We can plant trees quickly. Rebuilding ecological time is another matter entirely.

Ten years ago I had thought that in 2026 the nations of the world would have started some collective climate action. Today it is certain we are not going to halt climate and biosphere destruction, and we need global nuclear proliferation to survive the US-Israel-led West instead.

Genocidal and ecocidal nations such as the US and Israel have no right to exist and must be dismantled. This is perhaps the most important global project of the 21st century if we value human rights and a habitable planet.

How can Americans live their normal lives at this time when their government and its proxy are carrying out the most vicious and ruthless acts of mass murder across West Asia? Why aren’t they doing anything? They are the dregs of humanity. I wish the American people the worst.

One of Trump’s fantasies is probably to become the first person since Truman to detonate a nuclear weapon in war. Are there people in the US who could and would stop him if he gave such orders?

Crucial and powerful essay by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social. Lest we forget. www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

The looting of Iran's archaeological and historical treasures by Americans and Israelis has begun.

The Iranian frigate with 180 sailors that the US torpedoed in the Indian Ocean had recently participated in joint naval exercises with the Indian navy. But the Indian government betrayed their invited guests by informing the US and Israel of their presence in the area.

Francesca Albanese is basically suggesting that there is a silver lining to the US-Israeli massacres in Iran -- freedom from the "illiberal" and "brutal" regime. These people are frauds who work on behalf of the Zionist-imperialist West.
