Here's a tasty idea — “The one doughnut that might actually be good for us.” 🍩
________________________________
Oxford economist Kate Raworth asks the question, “What would a sustainable, universally beneficial economy look like?” The answer, "like a doughnut," gets some laughs, but opens many eyes.
In the doughnut's circle is a safe and just space for humanity, with a regenerative, distributive economy. Those inside the hole lack basic needs like water, food, and healthcare, as well as social reforms like education, gender equality, and political justice. Outside the ring is overshoot, those growing economies that surpass the ecological ceiling and create biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change.
The perfect circle, the sweet spot for humanity, is what we are after.
We have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. So too, we have rich economies that need to make us thrive, whether or not they continue to grow. Raworth says, “If humanity is going to thrive here together this century, we need a shift.”

GM’s PowerBank home battery is now available
The stationary battery pack can be added to existing GM Energy vehicle-to-home power systems.
This is very interesting: small, vertical solar panels are more suitable to harsher climates (both colder and hotter) than traditional large panels. As with everything renewable, when you hear someone telling you that X is unsuitable because of Y, remind them that a lot of these things are just technical problems, and we're deep into the 21st century so we can solve those. It's the political and economical forces that are pushing back hard, not technical limitations.

As Ruth Ben-Ghiat says, the wall-to-wall lying we're seeing Trump engage in right now as the election nears is par for the course for authoritarians, who have to control reality for their followers. She says that "Trump’s campaign … is better understood as a disinformation and radicalization machine."

"The overarching goal of Trump’s disinformation efforts is to persuade voters that they should live in fear—and that only he can save them."

"The press still does not know how to handle the avalanche of lies that is MAGA’s chief contribution to our national life. ...
Not all lies are created equal. MAGA’s lies are designed to instill suspicion, to corrode tolerance, and to shred our unity as a nation."

"The job of the press is not to give the same treatment to both sides—it is to present the truth, or as close an approximation of it as can be ascertained. When one side stretches the truth and the other side seeks to obliterate it, they should not be treated equally."

"The media centering itself as the main story in a presidential campaign where the fate of democracy is in the balance is self-parodic, and self-indicting. It illustrates, and sums up, all the ways in which the press has failed in the Trump era."

"They are cranky because 'their relevance relies on being the sole arbiters of asking the questions.' But in the current media ecosystem, people have lots of options that are not the NYT and Politico. And that makes the NYT and Politico sad. ...
Harris doesn’t have any obligation to help the mainstream media hand the election to Trump again.

And as Trump's niece Mary Trump reminds us, his lies are lethal, including for his followers:
"In my first book, Too Much and Never Enough, I wrote:
'If [Donald] can in anyway profit from your death, he’ll facilitate it, and then he’ll ignore the fact that you died.'
That’s really all we need to know."

Evan Hurst writes,
"Josh Marshall tweeted a screengrab last night from the New York Times, saying, 'This arrangement and editorial gloss may stand for, capture the journalism about the entire campaign.'”

"We don’t know what kind of malignant sickness is metastasizing throughout the political newsroom at the Times. And we don’t know what’s going to happen on November 5.
But if Kamala Harris loses, the New York Times’s absolute failure to meet the historical moment — not just this year, but ever since 2015 — will be a big part of the story of how the United States of America ended up where it ended up."

Mary Trump notes that Washington Post has jumped on Kamala Harris for saying she would like to see Medicare expanded to cover long-term at-home care. WaPo asks where the money will come from.
Mary Trump responds:
"Here’s a question I never hear the corporate media ask: What is the cost of not addressing an issue that affects millions of Americans?"

Keith Owens puts the point clearly and succinctly:
"Your vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz isn’t just a vote for competence, sanity, and accountability. It is a vote for reality. Because, in reality, there is no such thing as alternative facts. Only truth and lies. And in reality, some lies can kill you."

Todd Beeton cites Stuart Stevens' response to the two New York Times headlines about Trump and Harris that Josh Marshall highlighted yesterday (see /10 in this thread for that graphic). Stevens says,
"These two headlines should be studied in journalism classes for decades.
Trump headline could apply to a Nobel prize winner in genetic studies."

"They have already dangerously normalized a criminal con man grifter, making him just a coin flip away from the White House.
If Trump regains office, a substantial part of the blame will rest with our media, just as it did in 2016. How they sleep at night knowing this is beyond comprehension."

You're welcome. I understand. But your post could have given the man's name and still had room for his entire quote, with fewer hashtags, just like this:

Much of "the media" is directed by billionaire owners.
They sleep on comfortable piles of cash.
@DJHDJH It's not clear which particular excerpt in the thread you're responding to. Since your comment follows Evan Hurst speaking about New York Times, I'll assume — but I may be wrong — that "they" refers to NYT.
To which I'd reply: Yes, they think they're highly intellectual.
But what we think about ourselves and the reality of ourselves is often highly disconnected, especially when arrogance distorts our self-understanding.
Oh no, it is you in general. I'm also talking about me and NYT.
Sorry, I'm dutch and we use the word you for you and more general like in someone.
And Trump has been doing this his entire life, even before he entered politics.
Trump's motto, taught to him by Roy Cohn, is: "The whole world is a con, and only suckers play by the rules."
@philip_cardella Yes, I agree: it's a choice, and the question is why. I've just read Todd Beeton's take on that matter. With NYT, he seems to think the overweening factor is Sulzberger's pique at Biden's snubbing him. I'm more inclined to look at the economic interests of the owners and top management of media.
Got to lesson four in #vim tutor but was sleepy so quit for the night. First impression is that it's interesting. I'm not a programmer. I'm only dabbling in #selfhosting so right now my interests are #linux commands/best practices, #bash , and #python . Vim seems like overkill for that.
I was told by a friend I should learn it since it is powerful, is in most Linux systems, and learning to incorporate it into my tools early will help me later.
Is vim a distraction path I should go down? I'm learning a lot already so kind of overwhelmed so trying to decide what to focus on.
