A reminder to those who hail steam as the savior: you're gonna get bit.

this hurts me feelings

Remind me when the US executes a billionaire.

Yep, that's the one.

Yup. Give it 50 years, and you'll be subject to prosecution for owning >x FLOPS. First they take the Internet, and then they take compute. The strategy is starting to become clear.

It helps that he's so fucking good at the role, and has been literally bulletproof for what, like 20+ years now?

On the other hand, Logan was such a touching finale.

Yep, that'd be solarpunk. Liberals love solarpunk because it allows them to imagine a transition to a just future via technology and aesthetics alone. It's all vibes, and it allows them to ignore class analysis.

The oil barrons of the world aren't going to give up their power without some amount of violence.

Not pictured is an over-exploited global south that makes the image possible.

Persecution? I thought it was a genocide?

The actual thing they need to do in order to compete is in-source parts manufacturing in order to take advantage of economies of scale... Like the Chinese EV manufacturers do.

That's called vertical integration. Ford was the original pioneer of vertical integration in auto, but they lost their way.

When you speak, what comes first, the idea or the word? Do you first feel a thought inside you, and only after that go searching for the right word to wrap around it? I think we all do. The word is never the start. The word is just the skin. The idea, the consciousness, is the thing sitting under it.

Debatable from a philosophical perspective. The words you have access to do indeed shape how you view the world. It could absolutely be argued that the words to which you have access shape your consciousness.
