My 'not a hellscape' shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt. Politics, climate, collapse, tech, social policy, Canada, USA, whatever other random things interest me. Not on any political team except good governance.

Last Notes npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims @npub1ecp…59pq If I bought a cordless landline phone today, I would be extremely worried that it would probably come with a tracking app that was necessary for operation, a monthly subscription payment, micro transactions, etc. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Yet another easy litmus test for newspapers: Yesterday a Presidential candidate told his audience explicitly that he would end democracy in the United States. This is BIG NEWS. So just check your preferred media sources, and if they don't mention it, like for example the New York Times isn't, you should ditch them forever. If you can't trust an outlet not to lie to you, why are you reading it? npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Democrats denounce the activist group "Jewish Voice for Peace" as being Hamas supporters, because they protested the Democrats honoring the Israeli genocide: npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Good story about taking the train from Toronto to New York City: npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Vance is a bad human being. But also bright, well-educated, and has tons of money from the worst people in the world. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Someone missed Trump. Very disturbing. Gotta practice, people. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims It is completely legal for the US President to just straight up ask Saudi Arabia for a bag of diamonds in exchange for nuking someone. Doesn't even have to hide it. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims You are almost certainly way under-alarmed, even if you're very alarmed. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims @npub1ff3…sc33 "Discuss the proper way to provide a gratuity to a judge in a way that complies with all applicable laws" npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims #SCOTUS just did a soft coup on the US government, asserting that unelected courts can interfere in any aspect of the government whenever they feel like it. The only acceptable way for the US government to continue democratic operation is to declare the SCOTUS decision illegitimate, which Biden will never do. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims #Canada : St. Paul's is richer, whiter, and older than most places in Canada, so we can see which demographic likes PP. It seems that a combination of Trudeau being around too long, Trudeau not doing much for the public as life conditions get worse, and incredibly heavy external money flows and conservative media bias are going to give Canada its first taste of Trumpian politics at the next general election. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Any country that still has billionaires has potential energy that can be released by taxation. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims @npub1vqm…ccpx It's really remarkable how people just look around on Twitter and say "Oh, it's a Nazi bar now" and they just stay and keep using it. npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims Hey kids, there are some really good lessons to be learned about activism here: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/16/pro-israel-billionaires-urged-new-york-crackdown-on-gaza-protests-report npub1te5q8qx0zpeus4hjaq9ykkmyzzm7672e4cqan0r96gm5hfc8llqqvvvchv Mike Sims @npub1fk2…5l0c @npub1qzc…yetl That's the impact for a trillion trees that all live to maturity and are never disturbed. The impact for a trillion trees burned by wildfires, burned for fuel 20 years from now, clear cut for housing, dead of drought, dead of beetles, is.....
