We’re less than two weeks out and I think the real legacy of this assassination isn’t going to be seen immediately. If someone has been heavily influenced by the example that Luigi is setting, only an idiot would be posting about it online.

Just the very fact that people are praising this action is going to be the green light for some people. I’m not surprised that most people aren’t taking to the streets en mass, but I don’t think people are going to forget this moment either.

There are already people working on decentralized insulin production, quick google search brought me to this: https://openinsulin.org/

So, thermocouples are commonly used in industry to make temperature probes, typically in the form of a coil of wire containing two conductors of different metals. I wonder if it’d be possible to get ahold of some thermocouple wire and put together a solar cell at home?

I’m not sure it totally fits, but Always Coming Home by Ursula K LeGuin was an amazing read. The premise is that an ethnographer of the future is writing about a future, post climate change California people called the Kesh. Most of the book is actually stories the Kesh themselves tell, be it poetry, folk tales, an autobiography, and even a snippet from a novel.

It’s an absolutely transformative book that I can’t recommend it enough. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever read.
