  RE: https://climatejustice.social/@briefecology/117337605876345514 This was a fascinating issue to put together. Waste is so ever-present in capitalist society that we rarely stop to think about what it actually is, or what it could be instead.

  RE: https://climatejustice.social/@briefecology/117337605876345514 More scientific research is published now than at any previous point in history, and yet the majority of it never makes its way to the general public. This is only getting worse now that the billionaires have completely taken over legacy media. @briefecology@climatejustice.social is an attempt to improve this situation, by focusing on recent ecological research and exploring how to improve nature-society relations.

  Call me paranoid but the main lackey of an authoritarian regime purging one fifth of military leadership ahead of a nationwide election seems not great

  You are not overreacting to the climate crisis. Your exhaustion from capitalist exploitation is not a personal failure. Your inability to meet society’s standards of perfection does not reflect your value. These are lies meant to keep us complacent so that the system’s machinery can continue.

  American capitalism is essentially pure grift at this point. Nearly every ad is either for sports gambling or AI, with a few weight loss drugs sprinkled in for good measure.

  The insidious thing about capitalist realism is that it instills in people this belief that our exploitative, unequal, unjust, competitive, and antagonistic society is the best we can get. That this is the only “real” option and anything else would be worse. But this is a deterministic cynicism that actually creates the conditions it claims are innate.

  It would be pretty cool to have a fediverse version of ResearchGate. Someone should look into that. Someone with a lot more free time than me. #fediverse #AcademicChatter #academia

  I think when the maga era is finally over and we’re able to fully quantify its effects, we’ll see it as one of the largest transfers of wealth from the working class to the wealthy in American history

  RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/117282512803721109 On one hand, I am far too busy to do a pre-watch of this and write up a spoiler-free, eco-horror analysis–treating the film far more seriously than it was ever intended–as a treat for the #Monsterdon community. But on the other hand, I really want to.

  The Cop City struggle over the South River Forest in Atlanta should serve as a constant reminder that surveillance capitalism relies on ecological destruction. The growing network of Flock cameras and AI-powered monitoring lives on the back of data centers that heat the environment, waste water, spew emissions, pollute the soundscape, and worsen climate change. Destruction with one hand, criminalization with the other.

  It’s been a long weekend so I may not post much but I do plan on tuning into #Monsterdon tonight. Night of the Comet is a classic

  Generative AI is a Faustian bargain. Every use of it weakens you. Maybe you occasionally save a few minutes, but you are diminished for it. With each use you are further from your human potential.

  It’s entirely possible to have a world with guaranteed housing for everyone, solar and wind powered energy, fast and free public transit, high quality education and healthcare for all, well-funded libraries, healthier food, and a shorter work week. Those things are achievable now. Today.

  Capitalism is an irrational economic system. Its internal contradictions cannot be reconciled, and it requires never-ending expansion, exploitation, and waste in order to maintain itself. A rational economy would instead be based on sufficiency, wellbeing, and the efficient use of resources.

  I'm jumping back into the #monsterdon watch party tonight, and I'm curious how everyone manages their watching & posting setup

  The reason for creating @briefecology@climatejustice.social stems from the realization that virtually none of the ecological knowledge we’ve created through research and experience is actually used for society’s benefit. Our goal is to explore why that is, and to also collect the major strains of that knowledge in a cohesive, applicable way.

  Hey #fediverse - I’m thinking about adding a column to @briefecology@climatejustice.social on anti-consumerism. If you know of anyone writing in this space from a leftist perspective please drop recommendations

  Surveillance cameras are now the eyes of capitalism, feeding our every action into a silicon mind of forever hungry data centers and fueled by a gluttonous appetite for fossil energy, a face aflame with burning forests and boiling oceans. More horror than horror.
