My fever brain would *not* let this go, but my goodness, 2023 needs to end.
Today's year-end round-up covers five core issues for the world this year: AI hype cycles, climate change and inaction, union power, war, and far right extremism - in the world as in the US.
These issues all feed into one another. Maybe, just maybe, understanding the intersections between these struggles will help ready us for the fight against them all in the year(s) ahead.
Go get 'em, tigers.

Thank you. I always enjoy your pieces.
Nothing could be more true than your closing--that voting is the bare minimum required of us.
I believe this is the decade we stand for one another or watch our friends fall, and ultimately get taken down ourselves
Revisiting and revising Niemoller, "First they came for <insert group here> and I did nothing because I didn't learn the lesson the first f#©√ing time"
Thank you for reading, Brent. Truly.
I'm deeply heartened to know other people also racking their brains, rallying with care, and otherwise committing to the Herculean labours ahead.
It is a strength to know that we're not going at this alone.
May you and yours have a wonderful New Year - and may you always feel supported in the fray. 💪
