Okay I finally had a quiet moment to listen to/watch #CinemabyLeeKnowandSeungmin and first of all how dare they sound so lovely together? (Please do more duets; your voices together are SO nice!) 😍

Second, I'm actually <*chinhands*> at them because oh baby are there *layers* here; this is an ode to STAY, this is an ode to skz, this is an ode to their 7 year long journey to get where they are, this is an ode to being performers with massive stage presence and trying to meet fan expectations while having privacy, this is an ode to each other (both Seungmin and Lee Know to each other, and also them to the other members, I think), an ode to how fame can unanchor you if you're not careful.

"Cinema" is a veeeery deliberate choice of title and theme. And also, the entire framing makes me think of "All the world's a stage / and all the men and women merely players" (from *As You Like It*, Shakespeare); the full monologue is maudlin and bitter, and definitely this song could have taken that bent... but instead...

"And now night after night
When you cannot find your way
I'll be waiting...
Welcome to our Cinema"

It's a comfort show we all know. It's that one we know tugs our heart strings and might make us cry but mostly it's silly and feel good and always says "hey there you are 💕".

Because nobody is SKZ's biggest fan bar SKZ members themselves, remember? They're always the most hype. The most comforting. Always rallying around each other. Everything so far that's knocked out less well-knit groups has just made them closer and stronger and they just keep going and always praise each other and STAY as the reasons they keep going.

Lee Know and Seungmin probably made everyone cry with this song, I would bet you. But I guess those two had a LOT of feelings and felt confident in showing them like this.

We love you Lee Know + Seungmin!!

"The #Trump team, taking its cue from the #president, is trying to pursue two #ContradictoryVisions at the same time — to maintain #America’s status as the world’s leading power while also trying to scale down its international commitments. They want to simultaneously #dominate the #world and #withdraw from it."

Or, put differently, Trump is #Stalin and everybody around him is trying to guess what he wants.

#Solar #energy is the
⭐️ most widely available energy resource on Earth,
and its economic attractiveness is improving fast in a cycle of #increasing #investments.

Here we use data-driven conditional technology and economic forecasting modelling to establish which zero carbon power sources could become dominant worldwide.

We find that, due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy,
a global #irreversible solar #tipping #point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to #dominate global #electricity #markets,
without any further climate policies.

🆘Uncertainties arise, however, over #grid #stability in a renewables-dominated power system,
the availability of #sufficient #finance in underdeveloped economies,
the capacity of #supply #chains and #political #resistance from regions that lose employment.

❇️Policies resolving these barriers may be more effective than price instruments to accelerate the transition to clean energy

I love how Cory Doctorow used the term #brainworm to describe destrctuive #memes. It is imperative that we denounce #neurotropic #nematodes when & wherever they appear. The #techindustry is flooded with them, finding themselves manifested in the #techbro, unsurprisingly mostly #visible as a #member of the #male form of our #species.

In a 2022 article, Cory reviews some #drm #history. There is a constant in the #industry to #dominate and #control people via their devices.

His time in the #Senate had left Romney worried—not just about the #decomposition of his own political party, but about the fate of the #American project itself.

…“A man gets some people around him and begins to #oppress & #dominate others,” he said…. “It’s a testosterone-related phenomenon, perhaps. I don’t know. But in the history of the world, that’s what happens.” America’s experiment in self-rule “is fighting against human nature.”
