Slightly older interview with the Indian writer Amitav Ghosh. He points out that a lot of anxiety over climate change is related to anxiety over the end of Western dominance, because the tropics are already experiencing climate driven catastrophe on top of the damage done by colonialism:

The West has also come to rely on what Ghosh calls "an expert discourse" from scientists. The result, he believes, is that science is giving fearful westerners a hope in business-friendly "sustainable development," biofuels, or carbon-capture technology, which they think will save the system before it collapses.

The alternative, a massive-scale economic adaptation to a new distribution of resources, is too scary to consider: The end of capitalism would be as bad as the end of the world.

"The people who saw the climate crisis first are at the absolute other end: farmers, fishermen, Inuit, indigenous peoples, forest peoples in India, and they've already had to adapt, mainly by moving, finding new livelihoods," says Ghosh. "And indigenous peoples have already lived through the end of the world and found ways to survive."

It's a grim sort of optimism, but it is a reminder that there are opportunities to adapt and persist if we don't push our biosphere to the point of collapse in an effort to maintain a failed system. We're not going to do that, right?

Forgot to pack short grain rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Wasabi. Hope you like seaweed for dinner, boys!
Captain is a self-professed loner, has a mode of travel that requires dozens of crew in close proximity.
Definitely smelled musty in there.
20,000 leagues was the distance they traveled, depth rating was probably nothing special.

From this post: https://hexbear.net/post/2063160. The whole comments thread is gold, this guy is on a reply streak.

Someone get him on the lathe, let's see more CEOs getting held personally liable.

Also, bonus points that this guy can take time away from his busy day of running a company to post on IGN comment threads, really speaks to the important work he's doing.

Another Beany Tuesday classic and a must-add after he surfaced in real life here: https://hexbear.net/post/2021804?scrollToComments=false

I have a .edu email that I still use, and I've gotten multiple emails addressed to a Dr. BodyBySisyphus (I do not hold a PhD) from an organization called Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (brought to you courtesy of the Koch brothers, among other usual suspects) asking me to take a survey so it can understand faculty opinions on campus Freeze Peach. The URL looks uniquely generated so I don't think I can just hand it out without triggering something on their end, but is there anything else I can do to make their day worse?

Did it accomplish anything? No. Was it a dumb thing to do? Yes. Does it eat at me more and more every day that I'm just sitting by while the bombs keep dropping and people keep dying? Yeppers.

Don't really have anything else to say, just angry at everything including myself.

Added without comment because any comments I have would be inadequate to express my rage.
