Favourite quote of the day, from Rebecca #Solnit, about Elon #Musk and #DOGE - The Department of Government Efficiency:
"It's about efficiency in the same way that the Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty-Four was about truth."
.Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of #uncertainty is room to act. . . . .Hope is an embrace of the #unknown and the #unknowable.” Rebecca #Solnit...
