“A very different kind of renewable energy, utilizing the sun or the wind or biofuels but in a way that is designed for local, small scale production in an economy based not on growth but on meeting human and ecological needs, would actually be an important feature of an honest response to climate change.” https://petergelderloos.substack.com/p/why-green-energy-wont-help-stop-climate

Is anyone working on the way that far-right/conspiracy theorist groups are organising at the local level? I'm especially interested in anything that would help develop strategies for deradicalisation/deescalating conflict as they've been engaging with our local council.

@sky I can recommend “Non-Violent Communication” as a method and as local communities - you can find likeminded people among them, if there are some groups where you live… https://www.cnvc.org/ & https://nvcacademy.com

Greenwashing much?! “direct air capture” (dac) plant…. sucks carbon dioxide from the air, concentrates it and makes it available for, … in Occidental’s case, injecting it into oilfields to squeeze more drops of crude from the deposits.” https://www.economist.com/business/2023/05/21/can-carbon-removal-become-a-trillion-dollar-business

“defending the lives of future generations: To do so will require expropriation not only of the oilfields and pipelines and refineries, in order to dismantle them, but of the industrial economy which they feed and upon which they depend. It will require the demolition of capitalist social relations, that is to say total social transformation through social revolution.” https://brooklynrail.org/2023/06/field-notes/Deeds-and-Propaganda

Today on #RIPE Labs: “ecosocialism…. with a strong anti-colonial and anti-capitalist sentiment that moves beyond private profit to socially useful and ecocentric production. Digital ecosocialism is the extension of ecosocialist ideals into the digital realm. It is ICT that embeds the values of planetary stability, social equity and agency throughout the sector”. https://labs.ripe.net/author/neil-mather/amazon-doesnt-care-how-you-heat-swimming-pools-ict-and-ecosocialism/ by @neil

"Listening speaks to our intuition while reading promotes analytic thought" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36355770/ "It is widely assumed that thinking is independent of language modality because an argument is either logically valid or invalid regardless of whether we read or hear it. This is taken for granted in areas such as psychology, medicine, and the law. We demonstrate that thinking from spoken information leads to more intuitive performance compared with thinking from written information."

But I also wept because I helped create the system that could do this to someone.” https://www.jntrnr.com/why-i-left-rust/ … too many parallels to my communities… and that’s why I keep on working on JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) & Code of Conduct / Awareness / Wellbeing teams…

juon taas kahvia ja luen. Tyson Yunkaporta: #SandTalk.

jos nykyisen valtakulttuurin toimintaa vertaa teineihin niin yhtäläisyydet on aika ilmeisiä: fyysistä voimaa on (vrt teknologia kuten fossiilienegia, aseet) mutta kypsyyttä hallita sitä ei ole, vaan asioita hajotetaan. moni ihailee ja seuraa koulukiusaajia tai muita toksisia tyyppejä, tai vähintään pelkää.

eikä aikuisia ole. jumala on kuollut, eikä se valtiollisen kristinuskon patriarkaattinen jumala kovin hyvä ollutkaan. #Ilmastokriisi

@clockwooork @outi there are such theories , and according to one, mature societies learned how to live in balance with environment: Australian aboriginals, some Amazon tribes, some Native American societies… (until western “adolescent” groups reached them &… the results are known & sad…)

Hello. #technoEnema is collaborating with "Sektor Ž" a #feminist radioshow on RadioStudent. We're looking into gender disparity in #floss. I'd be happy for some tips for a good resource on that topic or a contact of a feminist #tech #collective.

And really the sheer absurdity of European Sleeper

Here are two determined guys. They lease a freight locomotive, 2 ancient sleeping cars (at least with air con), 6 couchettes without air con (also old) and 2 seating carriages

And they manage to run a Berlin-Brussels night train, something that others - like DB, NS or SNCB - could much more easily do with their financial means BUT REFUSE TO EVEN TRY

And basic though it is it’s booked up all summer
