  1. @snowdolphin @dyckron Is this a moment which is ripe with opportunities for full-bore #Hayduke style #MonkeyWrenching?

  2. @cmccullough @nifta “it would be a shame if those GPUs were to overheat.” is the sort of thing a modern #Luddite might be heard to mutter from time to time.

    #Sangamon from #Zodiac would have #MonkeyWrenching ideas.

    When I included #MonkeyWrenching as a category of Trump's actions I hadn't realised that, of course, monkeywrenching the biosphere and the solar flux balance would be attempted.

    #LookMaNoHands
    (Gee, I originally intended the old meaning - from before Biden, Netanyahu, Trump, USA, Israel ISR, got to butchering in #Gaza. Not sure if the new connotations work. But I think they do though they point to the consequence, not the precessor.)

  4. Isn't it Trump's obviously unfit, #MonkeyWrenching, pick for Secretary of Defence, Hegseth who is paired with V.P. Vance to report on whether the #InsurrectionAct needs to be invoked?

    Guessing Trump can find another clown to put in the car and pair them with Vance?

  5. The 'monkeywrenchers' have made it into mainstream fiction. Is reality next?

    That #eco-#sabotage has captured so many authors’ imaginations seems to reflect a broader frustration with governments’ failure to rein in carbon emissions — a feeling that decades of peaceful protest weren’t enough, and the world is out of options.

    It has propelled #climate #fiction, once a niche genre, into the mainstream. Think of The Overstory by Richard Powers, a sweeping novel that follows activists who seek to save trees at all costs, employing human barricades, tree-sitting, and arson. It won the 2019 #Pulitzer #Prize and generated glowing praise from Bill Gates as well as Barack Obama, who said it “changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it.”

    History suggests that fictional #stories about eco-sabotage, sometimes called “#monkeywrenching” after Edward Abbey’s book of the same name, could inspire people to try something similar in the real world.
