To the idiot defending tesla owners: no.
They deserve all the smoke for buying nazi mobiles.
It has been a known fact for over a decade that he's a white supremacist and liar.
There are plenty of good EVs to choose from that aren't status symbols. People who are obsessed with status and brands are shitty people. Perhaps reconsider priorities.







When putin speaks about #peace, listen closely to the real message: installing a puppet regime in #Ukraine, dismembering the country, and ensuring permanent instability.

In short – no peace. Decode the kremlin double-talk and #DontBeDeceived

*If you want every object in your domestic life to look like it was hand-drawn by your nephew, yeah, this is the way to go

*Also: super-practical when you're trapped in a favela

in reply to Bruce Sterling @bruces

Air, shelter*, water & food are needs. Everything else is want.

*Shelter = protective structure (sleeping & protection from exposure) AND community (social)

in reply to Bruce Sterling @bruces

Well, so what? Maybe the fetish for all of our possessions looking like new is just temporarily-embarrassed-millionaire, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses nonsense that the Western world should just grow out of, for the good of the species and planet.






Europeans boycott US products to protest against Trump tariffs

As US President Donald Trump escalates a trade war with the European Union – most recently by threatening a 200% tariff on wine and champagne – Europeans are taking matters into their own hands by starting grassroots boycotts of American products that are mobilising tens of thousands of consumers.

Buy less, live more.

Unsustainable consumption fuels environmental destruction and injustice, piling up waste so vast it’s visible from space.

Let’s make the lower levels of this pyramid our new normal.

Fedi, I write to you today with worry. I'm beginning to think I've skipped down a dark, slippery slope that there is no escape from. I just finished my first piece of art containing a mousegirl.

I can only hope I'm strong enough to resist the inevitable slide into drawing tons of cute human/animal girl hybrids, but I doubt it.

Please provide your condolences below; or let me know if you like the piece ​:neocat_happy:



Y’all, one of my students brought Violinist Barbie* to their lesson this week, and we were laughing so much at how bad her posture is! There’s literally no way to get her to hold the bow correctly

*not actually Barbie?

in reply to Violinknitter

That's not even a viol bow hold - which would have been impressively niche, admittedly!


This is the way.

I mean, it’s a real and terrifying possibility that we don’t even have elections by the time Schumer is up for reelection. Things are moving fast, way too fast for electoral solutions.

But, if democracy in the US survives until future election cycles, we need to primary the hell out of the wavering half of the Democratic party. Take every one who’s been weak opposing Trump and primary them •hard•, then vote whoever’s more anti-fascist (however pathetically) in the general.

That’s down the road, heaven willing. Now: the phones, then the streets.

or, if the DNC isn't willing to do that, organize a new party in its place.
in reply to i.grok

@igrok In principle, in the decades-scale long term, sure. In the near future, it's just frantic sandbagging.
in reply to i.grok

@igrok It would take too long to get a new party going. The Dems are ripe for taking over.
in reply to Old Hippie Ⓥ Resistance!

@igrok
New party in the same body does seem like the more tractable and realistic path right now. Heck, Republicans pulled it off twice in living memory (once with Souther Strategy, once with the Tea Party).
