I really enjoyed the 'Monk and Robot' duology by Becky Chambers ('A Psalm for the Wild Built' and 'A Prayer for the Crown-Shy') and am looking for more solarpunk book or book series recommendations.

A short story is now my go-to for introducing people to #Solarpunk is "The Year Without Sunshine" by @naomikritzer published in @UncannyMagazine. It recently won the Nebula Award for Best Novelette. I think it captures very well the ethos of Solarpunk without getting too wrapped up in one corner of the genre. If you have 10 solarpunks in a room, you'll get 15 different definitions of the genre. I think this one captures the importance of community to Solarpunk.

One novel that is Solarpunk-like is "The Lost Cause" by @pluralistic. I think it shows a #Solarpunk world coming into being but also the messiness of that process. The novel seems simple but there is ALOT going on under the surface.

Two awesome podcasts I listen to are @solarpunkpresents by @arielkroon and @xtinadlr and Bright Green Futures by @susankayequinn.

I'm also a subscriber to "Solarpunk Magazine and I recommend it for some great stories.

Finally, that list by @lex is GREAT!

If Kamala Harris wins the election, it will be a huge disappointment for the Kremlin,” said Tatiana Stanovaya, the founder of R.Politik, a Russian political consultancy now based in France. “Not because they expect some concrete anti-Russian steps but because the nature of American politics will become, from their point of view, irrational and unpragmatic and self-destructive.”

Republicans really want to run against Biden the way they keep whining that him ending his campaign was a "coup."

Granted, everything Republicans don't like is a "coup." A woman won't date them? Coup. McDonalds' ice cream machine is broken? Coup. Rain? Coup. But attacking the Capitol and trying to hijack an election? Not a coup, obviously.

The Kremlin on Friday welcomed Donald Trump's comments on Russia being "a war machine" that had defeated Napoleon and Hitler, but said it was not wearing rose-tinted spectacles when it came to the U.S. Republican presidential candidate. #us #usa #usanews #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #AmericaFirst #SaveAmerica

For #Trump, the legal and political are now inseparable. Is Trump’s refusal to schedule the next debate really about #Harris not yet obtaining the nomination? Or does it reflect the understanding his NY conviction likely will stick (at least through November), reinforcing the prosecutor vs. criminal frame that could benefit her?

I just realized the #mastodonforharris campaign was an effort to make her join the fediverse.

300k dollars donated to act blue ALL BECAUSE people want to see Kamala on a certain niche web space.

All the people talking about mutual aid are damn right. (check my re-notes, or, however they're called over here, to donate to people that absolutely deserve it.)

Iran is the biggest threat.
The biggest threat to the USA is posed by its leadership.

Indian Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Kyiv in August for the first time since Russia's invasion in 2022. The visit is planned for the third week of August, likely on August 23, as confirmed by diplomatic sources in Delhi.

I won't idolize China. There's a whole lot very wrong with the country; only to name their political system, the racsism, their [economic] colonialism and far more. But it's easy to go right when some of the Western countries are determined to go that wrong !
But one thing, contrary to the rich western countries, they recognized the existential threat to the planet and took early action on it. They'll have to with a very large population aspiring the same life style as the West.
And the centralized politics make very large activities possible.
But George Monbiot tells it better:

He picked Vance after he got part of his ear blown off and would you look at that. His right ear looks perfect fine.

Another Republican labels Harris ‘DEI hire’


Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) criticized the Democratic Party for embracing Vice President Harris as its likely nominee, saying she is a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hire.

It's so funny that the GOP thinks that accusation is effective, especially since they support a felon and rapist because he's a rich white guy.
