Leaked Images Show Jaguar’s New EV And It’s Desperately Trying To ‘Cybertruck’ Itself - Yanko Design
Guys, I like it. I like the one in Cyberpunk 2077 that looked like this too, it reminded me of 80's futurism design in tape decks and such.

U.S. Energy Secretary Pledges to Reverse Focus on Climate Change
It's always been an oligarchy (aside from a short period after ww2 which generated an incredible climb in prosperity for the entire country, then the boomers pulled the ladder up after themselves and set fire to it). It's just completely mask-off now. If USAmericans want to have a non-serf short term and survive long term, they have to start hunting billionaires.

I am learning that people simply do not care
If you want to improve things you can’t wait around for a good moment or depend on the involvement of the depoliticized and hopeless to join in. You can just do things. There are other people doing things, too and you can find them. The change you make can inspire some others too, but the disaffected will always be frustrating to see and deal with. There will always be more to do but the thing is to keep trying to move toward the ideal even if it’s just by inches and there’s miles to go, it’s the long haul

The Fossil Fuels Conversation Needs a Hard Reset | The term “reducing emissions” has outlived its usefulness, a crutch to soften the blow that’s exploited by greenwashers. Now it’s time to get real
The article's pretty optimistic. It's predicting a move away from "reducing emissions" messaging to "ending fossil fuels" next year. It thinks that's going to be more effective, and I hope so but I don't see a reason why it will be.
