Okay, a little mystery also for today. After the Toxic Club, my
brother and I got a strawberry limeade at a little drive inn, and drove around this Conservation Area, but then we start seeing this fence with these signs, it's like 8 foot tall with lots of the fence totally blacked out, and these signs placed on them that say:

Saline Valley Ranch, No Hunting, No Trespassing

This fence went for miles, and miles had to be incredibly pricey to put in, it reminded me of the fence they'd have at a minimum security prison, but we didn't see cows, horses, crops, nothing but woods and hills and miles and miles of giant fence.

We try to find information about what it is, but there's basically nothing. My husband looks it up on Google Earth, and finds Little Saline Ranch, and I look it up, and it says permanently closed, and even less information is available about that. Google Earth shows lots of wooded land, a lake, and a few open fields, but we couldn't see any buildings or animals, nothing like that.

So, looking up that I find this article about mysterious happenings in the area:

https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/local/2018/10/31/hunting-ghosts-miller-county-other/9408986007

It mentions several people seeing a Bigfoot type cryptid in the area, so obviously the fence is to keep it in. My other guesses involve a government blacksite, as it isn't too far from and airforce base, or a doomsday cult, what do you all think?

timo21,
@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@RickiTarr My first guess is an exotic hunting ranch, like where they bring in some African gazelles or something like that to hunt. Here's one in Texas https://www.oxhuntingranch.com/hunting/

Floods, storms, rain in China - and look at this footage, like an arthouse film

Heavy floods in Shaoguan, Guangdong this afternoon（2024-04-20）

[EDIT: as others have pointed out, this may well be fake. I will keep it here as I think this is important to register on Climate Diary itself!].
[second EDIT: there are now official reports of major floods and storm there this week. But this doesn’t mean this footage comes from there, this week!]

@StillIRise1963 My spouse and I were just discussing that. I'm going with the CEO's of weaponry manufacturers may have been calling Johnson. I know world leaders were calling, because of press reports, but I can't see him caving to their pleas. Or else he really did realize that without UA aid, we really might have to send USA troops to Poland.

Maybe I'm weird for a trained capitalist, but it seems to me that Universal Basic Income would be a boon for the economy and not a detriment. Why?

Because people could then do the work THEY WANT TO DO.

Humans find happiness and fulfillment in work. I'm not talking about the corpo 9-5 grind, I'm talking real work. Making things. Doing creative work.

Ancient people had no bosses, but they worked. They fed their families, they made things, they had time in the evenings to draw on cave walls. Invent. Innovate.

Whatever.

I have more fully formed thoughts around this, but I'm tired.

Suffice it to say that modern work is not a natural state. It's completely artificial and it's killing us.

@TheJen UBI would be great depending on its implementation. It could simplify a lot of government processes and reduce admin costs if done correctly. With technology taking a lot of people's jobs, UBI is a necessity to avoid becoming an even more terrible society. BUT conservatives also want UBI so they can get all government programs in one place and slowly strangle them.

Cutting government programs while changing tax law to give a relatively few people a tremendous amount of money has caused the wealthy to think they own society. Big recent examples are donors to universities thinking they own the place, but check out this example of ghost funding for police departments.

Jess Piper on how right-wing trolls taunt her when she speaks out about the shortcomings of her home state of Missouri by telling her just to move to New York or California.

But it's not just right-wing trolls: as she reports, she also routinely gets the very same advice from leftist allies who appear to think they're entitled to judge her for living where her family lives, a state that's her state, too.

I wonder if Clarence Thomas will rule in favor of his insurrectionist wife in the arguments he is hearing today.

What major suspense, intolerable uncertainty. How can we be expected to sit here not knowing if he will side with his wife or not. More tense than all the thrillers ever made, sure, but: is it fair to leave us not knowing if his wife will be able to join him on the next vacation his is gifted without it being awkward?

These are the real questions, right? /s
