We need to rebuild, regenerate, and enhance natural capital as fast as we absolutely can. And we only do that through degrowth and by deindustrializing our relationship with the living world www.linkedin.com/posts/pep-ca...

This is them trying to distract from the illegal deportations which are overwhelmingly unpopular and get something else, anything else, into the news cycle

The only reason to oppose laws against hate speech is because you want to promote supremecist ideology. There is no other rationale. Hate speech is not speech its anti-speech.

This #fightoligarchy tour is a hand off and I love that I wouldn’t be shocked if in a couple of months they switch to Bernie opening for AOC. And I’m here for it.

If nothing else, this moment sure is revealing all the aspects of our society that we mistakenly took for granted as being relatively solid. Good to know what and who we can actually rely on, and what we need to completely reimagine.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Why is there no “pause route” on Google or Apple Maps when you’re navigating? It’s such an obvious feature. No one wants their phone yelling at them to u-turn when you are pulling into a pit stop

The right loves create culture wars by politicizing issues that aren’t be political. Who we love, gender and sex identity, what picture is on the Starbucks cup in December. We need to stop falling for it, stop validating with response, focus on real policy issues.

I just cannot wrap my head around why people think whether families have babies, a few babies, or lots of them, should be a part of political discourse at all? I mean, the notion that humanity is threatened by low birth rates is patently absurd.

This is also the skeleton key for understanding why right wing media is so popular and so effective. They make a business out of convincing people that they are threatened and oppressed from all directions.

This not wrong, but I also think we make a similar mistake that sometimes, there isnt a strategy beyond the vandalism, whether of institutions, natural spaces, accomplishments, etc. The vandalism is the point open.substack.com/pub/philiplo...

Capitalism will never have had enough. It will never suffer "resources undeveloped" for long. This is the problem with a "land sparing" philosophy of reforming our food and fiber and production systems in general: without an economics of "enough", no level of protection will be sustainable.

So I'm not thinking "what will the courts say?" I'm thinkng, "what state will be the first to be brave enough to refuse to comply" with the eventuality that a federal court, perhaps SCOTUS, rules against state-level environmental laws.

Not only is there no plan, in many cases, its just straight up vandalism. And the joy they no doubt take in it. But there's an antidote. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/philiplo...

Generally speaking this is what the evidence says. Knowledge production and meaning-making are both heavily relational. With the exception that there is also a not-insignificant role of the architecture that people themselves have in their heads for evaluating what they receive from their relations.

As a scientist, I can tell you the lesson about effective conflict management that I found hardest to learn is the very first step: forget about the facts and listen to people's stories. But this is the first step for a reason. You don't need the facts to see the conflicts in ppl's stories

Vandalism is not a theory of change. But it provides great cover.
