Kindness is Punk

Who would win? A highly trained former KGB agent who has all of Russia and it’s aristocracy under his control? Or his piss baby asset.

power generation has come a long way but specially in the North America the story isn’t as good, while we’ve made progress the amount of methane produced by our natural gas wells is not only frightening but difficult to track due to lack of accountability.

it’s my opinion if we want the sort of radical greenhouse gas reduction required to stave off the worst of climate change then we need three things:

1. an aggressive plan to phase out coal and natural gas
2. embrace public transportation and bikes
3. drastically reduce the amount of red meat we eat

I do believe it’s possible I’m just also think it’s really difficult to get political will for those sort of things.

Removed by mod

I’ve given up meat, I moved closer to my work so I could commute by bicycle and when I water my plants I do it with gray water I get from my dehumidifier.

So when my friend had a new house built an hour from his work and bought a new car because of the commute, well that person is no longer my friend and I know that seems extreme but I just can’t reconcile it.

We can stop at a human level if we decapitate the rich and powerful.

Honestly, I hate to jump on the antinatalism bandwagon but having a child now would almost certainly condemn them to an existence of scarcity and pain.

What makes this doubly difficult is that if we had acted at the first sign of trouble, we almost certainly could have lived comfortable lives with minimal sacrifices and every year we put it off the sacrifices we would have to make in order to maintain our climate get more severe.

I think they’re intent wasn’t to take away from any other issues we have but to say that we have another burgeoning issue which if it continued to grow at scale could be as damaging as our other major contributors.

Now we have the the education and first-hand experience to understand the impact and scope of the issue and despite this have still showed no reluctance.

Shocker.

Let’s be real: Yes, the Democrats ran a historically tone-deaf campaign. But Trump’s entire economic pitch boils down to ‘Just believe me, folks! The same empty promise he made before leaving office with record job losses, broken supply chains, and an economy in freefall. I get what your saying I just have trouble believing voters are this desperate to blame ‘wokeism’ that they’ll ignore:

• The $7.8 trillion he added to the debt?
• The 3 million jobs lost under his watch?
• The fact his ‘miracle economy’ was a sugar rush of tax cuts for billionaires?

It’s a death wish for the middle class.

To add to this, the economy is not better for the average person currently, anyone who thought it would be is naive and I just have trouble believing that American’s on average are that gullible.

The sheer horror of being conscripted into the Russian military is unimaginable. These soldiers reduced are cannon fodder and are treated as less than human, not even afforded basic sustenance. These aren’t soldiers; they’re disposable bodies thrown into a meat grinder by officials who are nothing short of war criminals. The cruelty is beyond comprehension.

Israel fighting for anyone’s rights is so fucking laughable

I wish anyone in this administration cared about faith in the military, because there’s no way this doesn’t create a populace afraid of its own military.

yes, thank you.

Hey, that’s not true, they will also defend defund schools and social programs to make sure they have a devoted voter base!

Who could have possibly predicted that Trump would side with Putin? What an utterly shocking development if only there had been years of obsequious praise, leaked intelligence to Russian officials, and repeated calls to dismantle NATO as clues! Truly, nobody saw this coming.

While that can definitely be true, it’s not the case in this instance, they actually did say Russia was justified and that Ukraine joining NATO provoked the war.

Capitalists won’t be happy until our future is not but ash.

It’s pretty clear that Trump’s stance toward the slaughter of Ukrainians has been one of quiet complicity.

TLDR:

Israeli airstrikes killed at least six Palestinians guarding aid trucks in Gaza, according to Hamas, as aid distribution struggles due to looting and delays.

Israel says it allowed 300 trucks in since easing its blockade, but aid groups say it’s not enough and many supplies are stuck at the border.

The UN warns of extreme hunger, with two million people at risk of famine. Meanwhile, Israel intensified strikes overnight, hitting 75 targets.

The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, has killed over 53,600 Palestinians,
