The facts are stark: Europe must open the door to migrants, or face its own extinction | George Monbiot

Monbiot makes the argument that few on the Left are prepared to make for immigration.

I am late Gen X and I can see very clearly that many my age made a decision not to have kids, but equally many found they couldn’t through circumstances not of their choosing.

I see schools cutting intake classes and closing altogether in some areas.

I understand how pensions work and I worry.

The Paris climate treaty changed the world. Here’s how | Rebecca Solnit

There’s much more to do, but we should be encouraged by the progress we have made

"But thanks to valiant efforts by the climate movement and individual leaders and nations, we’re not in the worst-case scenario either."

I get the logic of such statements. But I also find it quite painful to read from the perspective of the millions and millions who are already #dead #injured #displaced by #climatechange

"Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris climate treaty.

[Progress has been made].
Is this good enough? Far from it, but we are, as they say, “bending the curve”: before Paris the world was headed for 4 degrees of warming; it’s now headed for 2.5 degrees, which should only be acceptable as a sign that we have bent it and must bend more and faster."

Been waiting for the new version of #PopOS with #Cosmic for what seems like ages. Was very tempted by the beta, but now it's fully released I'm gonna be installing it.
Always loved what the team at System76 put out with Pop.

N-gated Hacker News (@ngate) · Dec 11

🚀 Wow, #System76 released *another* #Linux distro update—because the world clearly needed another desktop environment named "COSMIC" to match our #cosmic ignorance of real #innovation. 🤯✨ Apparently, reaching "the limits of potential" means updating an OS in 2025 that still won't run your favorite game without a PhD in #troubleshooting. 🛠️🎮

Trump's War on Christmas Is a War on Liberalism

liberalcurrents.com · Dec 12

After decades of make-believe, the Trump administration is promising an actual war on Christmas that would traumatize religious communities with armed state power.

Shared by @JohnSullivan and 3 others.
Fan of Shared Truth & Empathy (@JohnSullivan) · Dec 12
🔁 @wdlindsy:

"There’s perhaps no better way to understand the contemporary anti-liberal project than as a return to the pre-liberal trauma of the wars of religion, in the worst of which a third of the population was killed. And there may be no better way to illuminate the liberal project conservatives wish to destroy than by recalling how it emerged out of healing from that trauma."

An AI coach is a terrible accountability buddy. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to ignore everything it says.
