Reductive. Neoliberalism protects and foments fascism as we ratchet a little further to the right each election cycle.

Completely unnecessary context setting for the second sentence, CNN. We know who he is.

How about we cover our cities, roadways, and parking lots with solar first.

Less loss from transmission, less habitat destruction. It is really win-win.

As others have said, this is a doctored version of the painting.

Really working on the important problems.

I’ve had to give these answers more than a few times:

I don’t know it. It does not have one. The genus is the common name.

No thank you, unless I’m instructing or teaching people what botanical terms mean.

Probably a sovcit.

I agree, as long as we agree on definitions for non-violence and violence. Conflict and violence are ongoing for so many. Violence is divestment in certain neighborhoods, policing, food apartheid, lack of safe water, lack of schools, lack of healthcare, increased job precarity, lack of infrastructure and public transit. There is a lot of violence but perhaps you don’t agree on the violence that is already here and resolutely ignored by those in power.

War profit, layoff profit, benefit reduction profit, ballooning healthcare cost profit.

I went to a pretty uptight Lutheren high school 25 years ago and one of my male classmates wore a dress to prom because he wanted to. No one got upset and he was very happy. Too many edgelords are in positions of power these days.

Hell yeah, solidarity!

Rapid climate change inducers

apfelwoiSchoppen, 29 days ago (edited 29 days ago)

Thanks for the FYI. Yes I know. Destroying ecosystems and habitats for thousands of square miles of this unlimited expansion of development absolutely does not help reverse climate change. And heating and cooling these gigantic cubic foot spaces is an additional burden on our energy systems and carbon footprints. Especially as we race towards another catastrophic extinction filter.

Well two decimal places invokes the devil, as does rounding correctly.

Imagine putting sneer quotes around immoral in this context.

This is TimeCube levels of crazy.

Cryptoarcheologists?

UN CPPCG Genocide Article 2 defines genocide as:

… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:

Definition C:

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.

Meanwhile Biden is really hand wringing about this as he readies yet another 1 billion dollar military package for Israel.

Recognition, restoration, reparation.

Why hellooooo tom. (It’s a mature male turkey)

Imagine how divorced from reality you must be to not understand that money issues impact poor people the most. NYT readership in a nutshell.

apfelwoiSchoppen, 30 days ago

It’s a Reductress article.

apfelwoiSchoppen, 30 days ago

Aaaaaaand I’m entirely out. No thanks.

I get these too. It is best to ignore them because if you tell them you are anything but a Jehovah’s Witness, they will hit you stronger with letters. Return to sender will reenforce their desire to send you more too.

I know some people say to tell them some secret words about people getting kicked out of the Jehovah’s, but I find it hard to be mean to them. They are being coerced and guilted into it.
