This week Matthew Thompson and I got into a big dialog about how science fiction primed the pumps for the acceptance of A.I., even when the latter is not that good.
“Soylent Green is people”… but that’s not the scariest part. What if the real horror isn’t the future—it’s the ideas we used to imagine it? Today Matthew Thompson joins in to break down Soylent Green, eco-dystopian cinema, and the unsettling politics hiding beneath it. 🎧 Listen now

The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!

In my head, the 80s were just two decades ago. The neon lights, the wood-paneled consoles, the simplicity of it all - it feels so close. But 20 years ago was the mid-2000s. We’ve traded floppy disks for the cloud, but I’m still holding on. I may be in 2026, but my heart is set to "Retro."
When we win back the house, we must hold accountable EVERY single person who has bent the knee to Trump and corrupted our democracy — and make sure it never happens again. This moment calls for unity and action. If we want better leadership, it starts with all of us—Let’s Go.

2️⃣ Professor @kevinclimate.bsky.social: we're using up the carbon budget for staying under 2°C at 0.7% every single month, with a small but very real risk we could reach a catastrophic 4°C by 2100. There are huge benefits for the majority if we address climate change. www.nebriefing.org/take-action
🫠 "Despides por aquí, contratas por allá. Y en medio, el talento que tiraste a la basura" Muchas empresas hacen lo mismo: recortan, publican vacantes, vuelven a empezar. Todo esto sin hacerse una pregunta antes: ¿esta persona podría aportar en otro rol?🧵

VIA reichwingwatch This is capitalism in its rawest form... Not “how many lives will be lost?” but “will this move the needle on my portfolio?” This is the system working exactly as designed. Human lives are the expendable. Wall Street profits is the constant.
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”

I am running for Congress because I see the links between the violence that Palestinians face under Israeli apartheid and the violence Black communities face from American law enforcement. Our federal officials have achoice: invest in human suffering or invest in human dignity.
Many states around the country are gearing up for a push to be the first state to transition to a universal, single payer system. We think that Oregon is the most likely state to make this move first, and we expect to vote on the transition plan in 2028.
