@jdcmedlock "distribution is in fact Very Important"
... if and only if one deeply values democracy!

“the difference between catastrophe and wonderland boils down to distribution”
I agree. The left is often criticized for being overly focused on distribution, but distribution is in fact Very Important.

Imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 40% unemployment rate. Sounds catastrophic. Now imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 3-day working week. Sounds wonderful. Yet to a first approximation these are the same thing. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA.
This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event.
A thread looking at some of the numbers.

💢 Israeli Forces Shot and Killed a 9-Year-Old Girl in a Classroom Tent
Ritaj Rihan, a third-grade student, was shot and killed by Israeli forces inside an educational tent in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza pitched atop the ruins of a school destroyed during the genocide.
Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, who attended the same school, reported that the tent where Ritaj was studying and where she was killed stood on the rubble of his former high school. “Even when kids try to learn, after over two years of nonstop running from the bombs, Israel shoots them,” he wrote.

Follow-up: The girl was only nine years old, a third-grade student. I just listened to an interview with her father. The tent where she studied and where Israel killed here had been pitched atop the ruins of the very school I once attended for high school in Beit Lahia. Even when kids try to learn, after over two years of nonstop running from the bombs, Israel shoots them. Israel is the enemy of civilization.

@GaryMarcus We like them to be discreet about their war crimes, helps maintain a pretense of morality as a nation
But they have to do it, it's de facto in the job description. Every single POTUS since WW2—Carter included

I am really uncomfortable being a citizen of a country in which the leader is publicly threatening to commit war crimes.
It’s not something I ever expected to see.

A crime of Empire but also a template for what followed: profit first, and let planet and people pay, coup after coup after bloody coup.
It's been 72 years, 7 months and 20 days since the CIA's very first coup denied Iranians possession of their own oil.

Our masters chose profit over wisdom. Now the islands sink, the children despair. Is this injustice or nature demanding what she is owed?
It's been 10 years, 3 months and 27 days since the Paris Climate Agreement was adopted.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —
“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”
He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”
“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.
Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.”
And told Americans directly — call Congress.
End this war.

"Is this a war for oil? The fact that Iran possesses the third largest oil reserves on Earth inevitably raises the question, as does... the CIA overthrowing a democratically elected leader who sought to nationalize them."

They chose to hoard wealth on a sinking ship, the comfort of the lie over the hardship of the remedy.
It's been 48 years, 8 months, and 21 days since senior Exxon scientist James Black told management their product was wrecking the planet.

It’s devastating that this planet is all we have and we are heating, destabilising, and destroying it with no mass uproar from us all. #artemis2

@Climate__Clock And yet, there is still no scientific evidence that there is anthropogenic global warming. Please note: Actual scientific evidence,not your religion running around and screaming over & over & over: global warming is going to kill us all by _ _ _ _ (put in any made-up year here)

It's not the warning that judges us, but whether, having heard, we chose reason over delay.
It's been 60 years, 4 months, and 30 days since scientists formally warned a US President of anthropogenic global warming.

Pope Leo's Easter message:
"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

The main thing to understand about climate change is LAG TIME. A drastic degree of heating is already 100% locked in due to PAST carbon emissions. The only questions are how long it will take to catch up with us and just how hot it will get.
