Since the US banned Hawaiian language and culture, our native language speakers dwindled to the brink of extinction in the 1980s (>100 child speakers). The fact we've 30,000+ Hawaiians speakers now is testament to our struggle to preserve our culture from eradication.

Cars are too safe for their occupants and too hazardous for the rest of the world. We go too fast, we drive while in a state when we should not (tired, intoxicated, with ADHD.)

We need slower, more fragile cars. Destroy the car, not the person it hits!

Replace every highway with trains! Reintroduce cable cars! Run a train through rural stations every half an hour, and through urban and suburban stations every 15 minutes.

Reorganize our society around Slow.

A key issue with AI is that transition to degrowth or doughnut economies *requires* structural transition towards low-carbon, labour intensive economic sectors - an economy built on production of art, knowledge, education, care of people, environmental restoration, energy transition. AI is exactly the opposite - high carbon, low human labour. Ie a high growth economy with big emissions and high labour productivity, that is, less "labour costs".

@AmeliasBrain yeah, that's the long and short of it basically. Mcas has very similar symptoms and seems to be part of it too. Benadryl, lodratadine, and fexofenadine are what my allgerist recommended. And they have helped.

@AmeliasBrain they also help a lot of people with the symptoms of long covid

as a sysadmin this so much. It’s one thing to say "oopsie something went wrong" and provide a button for the professionals to see where it went wrong and it’s another to just not provide any diagnostic information so I get to debug a black box.

Sitting Bull was murdered on this day in 1890. His story is often reduced to legend, but I and other Lakota are the living proof that his resistance shaped history, and will shape our future. #LandBack
