I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that two of the most distinctive characteristics of the modern way of life are the use of oil and the nature of the financial system, and that both are interlinked. Whoever exerts control over them exerts control over the trajectory of the world. A primary source of energy and the mechanics of an economy imprint a particular form on social life, which then translates to how individuals live. In our age, we have two modalities that were never utilized—at least not at this scale and with this centrality—ever before. The oil…

I still remember 2009 like it was yesterday when my mind was blown away seeing James Cameron’s Pandora. Sitting in that dark cinema with 3D glasses perched on my nose for the first time it definitely was one of my favourite cinematic experiences in my lifetime at the time. Seeing those blue people didn’t just fill the screen, they filled our lives.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Artemis II astronauts fired their engines and blazed toward the moon Thursday night, breaking free of the chains that have trapped humanity in shallow laps around Earth in the decades since Apollo. The so-called translunar ignition came 25 hours after liftoff, putting the three Americans and a Canadian on course for a lunar fly-around early next week. Their Orion capsule bolted out of orbit around Earth right on cue and chased after the moon nearly 250,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) away. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am so, so excited to be able to tell you that…

By Robert Scucci | Published 1 hour ago Overprotective parents are tough nuts to crack. On one hand, can you really blame a mom or dad for trying to shelter their children from the horrors of the world, no matter how misguided their attempts may be? On the other hand, sometimes you’ve just got to push the baby bird out of the nest and see if they can fly on their own. In more extreme cases, you might have to fool your daughter into thinking that whenever she’s aroused, she’ll burst into flames, like in 1987’s Nice Girls Don’t Explode.…

If you only got your news from the Democratic Party’s corporate wing, you’d be excused for thinking that not much of consequence was happening in the world. Centrist groups like Third Way and pro-Netanyahu organizations like the Anti-Defamation League don’t seem to be fretting about the escalating war in the Middle East, the Trump regime’s insider trading, or Republicans’ plans for another reconciliation package that would drastically cut health care spending to fund the war (while also suppressing the vote).
