@homophiliapod @DaveHolmes @mattmcconkey @WorldOfWonder Perhaps due to the-times-in-which-we-live I thought your “important” news teaser might be bad news for the podcast. Was glad to hear it was the complete opposite.

Anyway, @doctorow does a fantastic job of explaining the premises, the problems with them, the evidence of those problems, and an alternative way of analysing and establishing new premises

More than worth your time to read, and same for every other thing I've read on Pluralistic

@Maryxus ("Maryxus Maddly") replied to a tweet by @Maryxus:

So much of our understanding of the world starts from the premise that people are selfish. That the purpose of power is to enforce order so we don't destroy us. But we develop that understanding from living in an environment crafted by the already-powerful. We're in Plato's Cave.

"Realism is a demand dressed up as an observation"

My undergrad International Relations professor always used to say Realist analysis was about the 'Iron Tax': the blood and steel necessary to ensure stability. Power, for oneself and/or one's country

Oh FFS
I tried it too and Google showed me this AI image instead of actual Edward Hopper. The deluge of AI art is going to make search engines pretty useless unless they can properly filter/see it.

@bradswail Here is the actual goal, which allows for about 50,000 more people to commute alone in a car in 2039 compared to today, while allowing a larger and larger amount of people to not commute alone in a car.

For Austin to meet this goal, no one commuting alone in a car has to change.

Right-wing commentators are already calling Jordan Neely's murderer a "good samaritan" and "hero." When his identity is known he'll be the next Kyle Rittenhouse. They'll crowdfund his legal defense.
