Researching the democratisation of provisioning systems, i.e. how we take more control over the systems that give us access to life (food, energy, housing etc.). https://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3lcczsr4kzc2kEveryone should read Zoe Baker's book means and ends. It is an incredible summary of anarchist thinking and the history of the field. It is fundamentally important for understanding and thinking clearly about the political morass we find ourselves in today.02 Dec 2024 11:35 +0000at://did:plc:ppuzzya532chalvmxlu6qkya/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcczsr4kzc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3lbk2b5245k2bShe'll say this now that the democrats aren't the party of government. This is what I mean when I say that the democrats in power legitimate motion for the right. They refuse to make these robust challenges because they're afraid, and in so doing lay the groundwork for evil.

Particularly how she discusses the impacts of journalism on the Vietnaam war, and how power relations and journalism interacted. t.co/GCb0t6BhSJ https://t.co/GCb0t6BhSJ24 Sep 2024 10:23 +0000at://did:plc:ppuzzya532chalvmxlu6qkya/app.bsky.feed.post/3l4vfm7b3v42hhttps://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3kxpzpwbraq27When we publish with the big journals we sign away any right to control the research we create. They're well within their rights to do this, and it's why all of these mega corporations must fall.

I know I'm one of them, but there seems to be a pervasive failure to understand the temporality of climate change. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/02/hannah-ritchie-not-the-end-of-the-world-interview?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other02 Jan 2024 15:31 +0000at://did:plc:ppuzzya532chalvmxlu6qkya/app.bsky.feed.post/3khz2snzdca2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3kggjviw7ox24We know that climate change has driven system collapse in previous eras. I think what we get down to when we argue with tech optimists is an issue of gambling. They're happy to bet on human ingenuity to get us out of it, I am not willing to gamble with lives. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362019311_Systemic_Risk_and_Resilience_The_Bronze_Age_Collapse_and_Recovery13 Dec 2023 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:ppuzzya532chalvmxlu6qkya/app.bsky.feed.post/3kggjviw7ox24https://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3kggiqdtko22jImagine living in a place where every time you step outside the weight of past sins can be felt in the sweat and sunburn on your skin.

I'm tired and avoiding work... Anyway, here is a great youtuber who's unpicked a lot of the issues with blockchain technologies in the context of NFTs and scam artistry. https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g?si=r605kX1YPZKRTFM312 Dec 2023 17:41 +0000at://did:plc:ppuzzya532chalvmxlu6qkya/app.bsky.feed.post/3kgeic3mihd2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/henbinder.bsky.social/post/3kgdnyjogme2gAnyone want some more hate watching? lol The argument from the paper goes "renewables aren't being connected to the grid fast enough so we should use them to mine bitcoin" which honestly is so hilarious it might as well be satire.

Why are civil society groups not given priority space there? Why do we not see indigenous pavilions and municipality pavailions? I know why, but I mean, it's pretty revealing as to the priorities.

Fascinating how the apparatus of the state is willing to lie to even the people ostensibly "in charge".
