China reported better-than-expected economic growth for the second quarter in the face of an ongoing trade war with the United States, as diversification efforts to non-US markets buoyed exports.

GDP expanded 5.2% in the second quarter from the same period a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) at a press conference on Tuesday.

Ni de gauche, ni de droite, mais bien réac : Pourquoi la technocritique d'Anti-Tech Resistance n'est pas la nôtre
lagrappe.info/?Ni-de-gauche-ni…

"Ce texte est issu d'un travail collectif entre des membres des collectifs l'AG Antifa Paris 20e, Extinction Rebellion, Désert'Heureuxses, le Mouton Numérique, la SAMBA (Section Antifasciste Montreuil Bagnolet et Alentours), Soin Collectif

Years ago, when I lived in Washington DC, there was an incident on the metro when a train got stuck in a tunnel that was filling with smoke.

Metro authorities told everyone to stay in the train cars, even though they were filling with smoke and it’s generally a bad idea to stay in an enclosed space filling with smoke. Metro also has evacuation instructions posted by every door.

An elderly woman eventually did die from smoke inhalation. More people had to be treated for smoke inhalation.

And I recall getting into an argument in, like, the comments section of an article on Popville about how *you should not stay in an enclosed space filling with smoke because you will eventually die.*

And a number of other people chastised me for saying this, because People In Authority had told everyone to stay put and it could have been very dangerous to open the doors and evacuate. Someone might have died!

But someone literally did die from following those instructions.

I routinely think about this essay, about the sinking of the ferry Estonia in the 1990s, which made a huge impression on me and which I’ve plugged before:

“People who started early and moved fast had some chance of winning. People who started late or hesitated for any reason had no chance at all. Action paid. Contemplation did not. The mere act of getting dressed was enough to condemn people to death, and although many of those who escaped to the water succumbed to the cold, most of the ultimate winners endured the ordeal completely naked or in their underwear. The survivors all seem to have grasped the nature of this race…”

In this particular case, the disaster unfolded so quickly and dramatically that there was no real chance for people in authority to tell people to stay put. But they were also of little to no help to anyone else.

When you sense that you are in danger, listen to that sense and act to protect yourself and anyone else around you who is willing to listen. Do not wait for orders. Do not worry about appearing embarrassed about overreacting. Trust yourself and take action.

All of this came to mind when I read about the disastrous flooding at Camp Mystic in Texas on 4 July. The camp had been built in a flood plain. Its owners knew this and had deliberately sought and received zoning exemptions to build buildings that were unsafe. They had received flash flood warnings that night and waited more than an hour before taking any action to evacuate their children at the camp.

“As the water encroached, the teenage counselors, cut off from others, were left to make frantic life-and-death decisions.”

27 campers and counselors died that night, and six more are still missing. You cannot rely on systems and structures of authority to help you in an emergency. You must trust your judgment. Act and act fast.

in reply to HeavenlyPossum

Hierarchical authority relies on stable and predictable systems to work. They require an environment that is legible to the people in positions of authority. They require clear communication of orders down the hierarchical chain.

None of that exists in a genuine emergency, especially one that affects people in authority and their subordinates equally. And, critically, for those systems of authority to work in ways that might be useful to you, they require people in power to have better judgment than you about your own immediate circumstances, and they require people in power to care as much about you as they do about themselves.

In short, act as if no one is coming to save you or the people next to you.

in reply to Kinene

@c_merriweather But, if they haven't told you to evacuate but you think you should and have the means to do so, it's probably a good idea to get out early before there's an order. Similarly if the government doesn't require you to wear a mask in a setting but you think there's a good chance of catching a disease or being harmed by wildfire smoke there, go ahead and wear the mask instead of worrying about who won't think you're compliant enough.
in reply to HeavenlyPossum

It's probably worth noting that this was a conservative Christian all girls' camp. The teenage counselors were not only minors but minors who had been socialized to see themselves as second class citizens not cut out to lead or take decisive action. Training them to wait for 'God' or his representative in the form of a man to save them helped kill them and the younger children with them.
in reply to HeavenlyPossum

this reminds me of a concert I attended recently, where the fire alarm system went off during the start of the show... nobody was sure what was happening, the show was occurring on the 4th floor of a large building, I'd estimate only about 10% of the audience got up and reacted to the alarm (which sounded for about 15 minutes straight before authorities made a statement of false alarm)

I can't help thinking about what would have happened if it wasn't a false alarm... if there was really a fire only the people who left early would have had a chance of making it out alive, the rest likely would have just been burned up in a tall building fire because they sat around ignoring the fire alarms waiting for a statement tbh

to make this worse, most of the audience happened to be elderly people who would struggle to escape in a rush too

in reply to HeavenlyPossum

Note that in the Metro situation, if it is the tunnel not the train filling with smoke things get more complex. It is the tunnel from which you must either escape or move far enough within to get upwind or out of range of the smoke.

The train car itself may or may not hold off the smoke, but if you wait in it until it gets too smoky it will then be even worse in the tunnel.

The final complication is this: if the train still has 3ed rail power Metro will presumably try to back it out of the smoke. Metro really needs to tell passengers right quick in these scenarios whether that will be attempted or not. If it works, its the best way out of the smoke for everyone. If it cannot be done passengers need to know fast.

in reply to HeavenlyPossum

I think about this lately from a bit of a longer perspective.
I'm always depressed because I think the world is ending, but I still work
and pay off my mortgage and prepare to retire.
I have been thinking that I might be more at peace if
I stopped worrying about fiscal stuff if I really believe that we have maybe a decade
before most societies collapse.

(Like in your Estonia example me worrying about my 401k is like someone
worrying about putting clothes on before jumping in the water.)

Coca-Cola's 1985 transition to high-fructose corn syrup in the United States was primarily a #business decision, the company said. The change coincided with rising sugar prices and agricultural policies that made corn syrup a more economical alternative.

pluralistic.net/2025/07/19/sys…

@pluralistic Care about actual people? Not really. I hear a lot of talk about the list and who's on it, not much about the victims and making life better for them. That's true for both MAGA and anti-Trump voices.

in reply to Mitch Wagner

agree. It's similar to the anti-choice stance. Nebulous voiceless children and foetuses are easy to pretend caring about. They ask nothing of you. You feel you're automatically correct.

Yet, instead of protecting any real children from real child abusers - in the home, in churches, in schools and sport - they make stuff up. Pizzagate. And then they ignore the fact that their main guy was pals with a known, actual child abuse facilitator.

Hypocrites who care about no one.

It's almost as if we aren't a truth seeking species anymore, merely a comfort seeking one.

What is missing post Covid is trust. The fallout is representative govt as a system is dead in the water. The West moves to cryptographically secured direct participatory democracies or we go into a modern dark age filled with civil wars across the globe.

Lyrics still relevant today...
"Driven To Tears" - Sting (1986 'Bring On The Night')

Verse 1
How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Chorus
Driven to tears

Verse 2
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen

Chorus
Driven to tears

Bridge
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do

Chorus
Driven to tears

I have a couple towers and micros around the house running plasma. We use them for mpd clients, watching movies, emulation, etc. I do have one tower I use as the main file server. It has 32tb in it. I have another duplicate tower that's the backup.

My kids actually use i3wm in their rooms, but plasma is easier to use when using kdeconnect to control from across the room as compared to having a keyboard in my lap.

I get stuff for free. People keep handing me shit.

As for electricity, I just use wake on lan and shut stuff down when it's not being used. Everything is hardwired here except our phones and tablets.

As for the server, drives park after 20 minutes. So it cuts cost, but even then, and old Dell Tower does draw a lot of power when idle.

When I was a kid, we used to show up on jobs and you'd have like a water pump and the wire was already pulled right up to the pump, 3 wires here, 3 wires there, connect them together and turn on the breaker.

That's when the general contractor knows what he's doing. You only ask the bare minimum from the guy who gets paid 3x as much and only wants to work on when it's not too hot, not too cold, not raining, etc...

The problem is that it doesn't work in reverse. Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.

Honestly, state policy is fucked six ways to Sunday when it comes to solar. Yard sprinkers are more tightly regulated.

Plus, I'll tell you, contracts are cheap. Real deals get done on trust and relationships, even if there's a contract in the middle. Dealing in business with someone you don't know and who doesn't have a reputation to maintain in the community is a huge risk.

in reply to 🐘🐘 Humpleupagus 🐘🐘

> Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.

Yeah so what you do is you have roofers install everything up to getting the wire into the attic (or outdoor junction box), then you have a *trusted* electrician come in, snake the wire to the main panel, and sign off on all of the work as his own. It's the only way it can work.

So AOC *admits* that Israel is committing genocide - but still believes that it has a right to defend itself?

What the fuck is wrong with this woman?

(Also worth noting that this is not about MTG - she also voted against Rashida Tlaib's anti-Israel amendments back in March, so this has nothing to do with MTG and everything to do with AOC's moral decrepitude.)

#politics #uspol #uspolitics #palestine #gazagenocide

in reply to She Was Speaking

Mind you, leftists have been warning y'all about AOC for years. This woman is a spineless hack. She has always been a spineless hack.

Unfortunately, whitewashing Biden's complicity in genocide was utilitarian enough that even a lot of progressives were willing to dismiss it and make excuses for her, so our criticism of her largely fell on deaf ears.

This is a bit of a pattern I've noticed, actually. It happened with Contrapoints, too. Like, nonbinary people (and many trans folk) were saying that Contrapoints was a piece of shit *five years ago*. But we're a niche within a niche, and our voices are easy to ignore, so Contrapoints got to coast along as a progressive icon, if with the occasional acknowledgement that she's made a few minor missteps. (Leftists also pointed out that her palling around with Hillary Clinton was *not* a good look.)

Then Contrapoints finally did something so bad that even the people who didn't give a shit about her enbyphobia couldn't ignore it. The result? A torrent of people going, "what happened?! She used to be so progressive!" - when in reality, she was *always* a bigot, it was just easy to ignore for most people up until recently. It's *still* easy to ignore for many.

We need to stop treating "niche" issues as minor blemishes that don't reflect on a person's overall character, and start treating them as warning signs that, if not addressed, will precipitate even more blatant betrayals in the future. In other words, we're going to need more purity tests.
