Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Goodnight to the brilliant and beloved David Hockney. ❤️
Here he is in Jack Hazan’s A BIGGER SPLASH (1975), an intimate documentary portrait of the Hockney and a moving record of his artistic creation.

That Musk becomes a trillionaire the same time as inciting anti-migrant violence in the North of Ireland is so on the nose it would be laughed out of a first year screenwriting class. Without this kind of catastrophic brutality, there cannot be this level of hoarded wealth.

Agreed with every word of this except the description of Gorz as a Trotskyist. That's a bit of a stretch...

Read French Trotskyist Andre Gorz’s work on reformist-reforms vs non-reformist reforms. Taking over private housing and giving it to tenants as cooperatives is the definition of a non-reformist reform. We love to see it!
