SNH48 Group has released the stage PV for the song "CHINA TOWN" (an original song of the SEN7ES subunit) which won 4th place during the 12th Request Time concert

What if the stories we tell about tomorrow shape what we're willing to build today?

For decades, the dominant narrative has been one of collapse — climate disaster, resource wars, societal breakdown. Dystopia has become our default imagination. But solarpunk refuses both the paralysis of doomerism AND the complacency of techno-optimism. Between despair and denial lies a third path: clear-eyed hope grounded in practical work.

This isn't green capitalism. It's not primitivism either. Solarpunk is the farmer building with clay and stone. Communities converting urban lots into farms. Students building food forests. Tool libraries. Mutual aid networks. Community solar.

Because environmental destruction and social oppression share the same roots — the logic of domination that treats nature and people as resources to exploit. Climate justice IS racial justice IS economic justice. We build for everyone or we build for no one at all.

The future isn't something that happens to us. It's something we build — choice by choice, action by action, relationship by relationship.

The systems of extraction have enormous inertia. But they're also fragile — dependent on endless growth on a finite planet, on exploited labor, on externalized costs that can no longer be postponed.

We have something they don't: the truth, the urgency of necessity, and the power of people working together.

The question is not whether we CAN build solarpunk futures. The question is whether we WILL.

Watch me loot the village in Road to Vostok's Area 05. The recording was done on OpenBSD -current, using Godot version 4.6.2 to run the game.

You can tell how immersive this game is by me whispering after 18:50...

Hardware:

Note: The recording is with a framerate of 30 for technical reasons; the gameplay itself was with the FPS displayed in the upper left corner. In addition, the recorded resolution was 1440p, downscaled to 1080p to achieve a reasonable size of the video upload.

PopCast is a crowd-sponsored yo-yo show. Thanks to John Anderson, Dr. Lucky, and all of my supporters at Patreon.com/docpop.

Today I’m joined by Aidan Oldenburg from Team USA curling, who competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics. We talk about how he got into yo-yoing, what tricks he’s practicing now, and whether yo-yoing could ever become an Olympic sport.

There's a bonus tutorial for Gondola, an original trick of mine, at 20:10.

For years, we’ve been told the same thing: use complex passwords with symbols, numbers, and random characters. But in 2026, that advice isn’t the full picture—and for many users, it can create a false sense of security.

The real risks today aren’t just about brute-force attacks. They come from data breaches, phishing, password reuse, and how credentials are actually stored and managed. That means “complexity” alone isn’t what keeps you safe anymore.

In this video, I’ll break down what actually protects your accounts today, why traditional password advice falls short, and the smarter strategies you should be using instead.

What you’ll learn in this video:

• Why password complexity isn’t enough anymore

If you’re relying on outdated advice, this could completely change how you think about online security.
