I agree! I just don’t particularly find Greenwald to be someone whose reporting I find reliable any longer.
As for who I listen to, I do make an effort to read widely. I like GroundNews, which deliberately shows you how often an article is being shared on right and left leaning sites, so it’s a nice way of seeing which stories might not be showing up in your usual bubble.
I do follow more mainstream sources too, like the Washington Post and Politico - I particularly like E&E News for climate, environment, and energy news. Vox and Grist are definitely a bit more left leaning, but I think they both have pretty good environmental news too.
The Kyoto Protocol would have been ratified. Could you imagine if we had an international agreement with legally-binding emissions reductions in place in 2000? The Paris Agreement is the best we have, and it’s simply not as strong as Kyoto would have been
Most likely. It happens all the time - wingnuts propose legislation that they know will never make it out of committee to try to make a point, or to have in their back pocket for the next election. “See! I tried to do this, but the evil other side stopped me!”
On the other hand, it is Indiana, so you never really know. Ass backwards “middle finger of the South” state
I just got up and took about 7 big huffs on a vape while making a coffee. 2% strength and my vision went, everything went black I started blacking out against the kitchen counter. Had to kneel down and wait for it to pass before standing up to finish my coffee. Fucked it up in a cloud of confusion and drank a warm milk....
I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.
I started around 2018, using crouton to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook so I could have better functionality. I went back to Windows for a while, then I started using Pop!OS as my daily driver last year. I still don’t know if I love it, but I’m sticking with Linux of some flavor going forward.
I’m not a software developer, but I like to use Python to help speed up some of my office work. One of my regular tasks is to print a stack of ~40 sheets of paper, highlight key information for each entry (about 3 entries per page), and fill out a spreadsheet with that information that then gets loaded into our software....
My understanding is that degrowth is a movement not necessarily away from growth altogether, but tailoring growth or contraction to meet the needs of human and planetary well-being. For example, the things you mention, especially in the Global South, can raise standards of living. But it’s plain to me that in the Global North, we are already over-developed and extracting resources to create profit rather than to improve lives. I think we could contract the economy while making lives better, if only we could align our economic policies with the world’s real needs. I’d recommend checking out Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics, I find it to be a useful framework.
