Hey remember the astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station since June because Boeing fucked up? Well now their SpaceX ride home has been delayed, so they'll be stuck there at least a month longer

Just listening to David Runciman and Gary Gerstle discuss the history of televised leadership debates;

I suspect we will look back on 2024 as a watershed year, where the net replacing television as the dominant media. Just as television did with radio.

It's possible and healthy enough to BOTH care about all the political differences *within* a system that lead to meaningfully different outcomes and more or less suffering and harms AND to do so while *fully* aware of the big context.
So, when you see any individual discussing particular details within the system, don't make assumptions about whether they are or aren't aware of the overall context or are or aren't doing anything broader.
@photoncollector
As an example of details: Lina Khan as FTC chair under Biden did more for true public good and holding the oligarchs to account than any other political figure in 50 years. If there were no other differences between two directions except having or not having Lina Khan, the difference is still massive. And there are tons of other differences.
Personally, most of my time is focused on the bigger-picture issues, but those are also the hardest to change.

Totally agree. Along with whoever in the Justice Department launched all those antitrust cases against DataFarming corporations. I wrote a long thread encouraging people to vote for Harris over Drumpf, on the assumption that the only thing that would change in the administration was the spokesmouth.

Then I saw the articles about Harris palling it up with Reid Hoffman and a bunch of other SillyCon Valley billionaires, and panhandling for campaign donations from them : /
yeah, my view has been that both Biden and Harris *avoiding* celebrating and highlighting Lina Khan was itself a key feature of the failure of Democratic reelection. They took the most substantial and important work of the administration and shied away from it out of some stupid deference to the oligarchs.
It fits how Harris focused on traditional rich-investor and pop-star endorsements over appealing to regular citizens

I suggest reading donellameadows.org/archives/le…
And my own note:
This isn't worst to best focus, just differences. Leverage points that need less effort also need greater movement to have an effect. Small movement at the greater leverage points does a lot.
But where to focus depends. The answer isn't always just to focus on the hardest-to-move points simply because any movement really has a major effect.
"Asked by the Club of Rome to show how major global problems — poverty and hunger, environmental destruction, resource depletion, urban deterioration, unemployment — are related and how they might be solved,
[Jay] Forrester made a computer model and came out with a clear leverage point: Growth."

"Not only population growth, but economic growth. Growth has costs as well as benefits, and we typically don’t count the costs — among which are poverty and hunger, environmental destruction, etc. — the whole list of problems we are trying to solve with growth! What is needed is much slower growth, much different kinds of growth, and in some cases no growth or negative growth."

"The world’s leaders are correctly fixated on economic growth as the answer to virtually all problems, but they’re pushing with all their might in the wrong direction."

"Carter was also trying to deal with a flood of illegal immigrants from Mexico. He suggested that nothing could be done about that immigration as long as there was a great gap in opportunity and living standards between the U.S. and Mexico. Rather than spending money on border guards and barriers, he said, we should spend money helping to build the Mexican economy, and we should continue to do so until the immigration stopped."

"Many Native American cultures actively spoke of and considered in their decisions the effects upon the seventh generation to come. The longer the operant time horizon, the better the chances for survival….We experience now the consequences of actions set in motion yesterday and decades ago and centuries ago."

True story. I've heard of iwi organisations in Aotearoa having hui to develop 7 generation plans.

This is not AI or some trick. It is a lenticular cloud over the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado this evening. I shot this photograph and processed it in black and white.
