A tale of a rapeful trip
And the media shouldn’t be spreading his lies.
I see you’re an APS hostage, too.
Currently living in the sunniest city in the world, but had to pass on solar panels. Choices are to either buy outright or lease. The lease option is predatory as hell, but the cost of buying and maintaining outweighs the eventual savings because the power company monopoly keeps juking credits. American fuckery strikes again.
JFC that traitorous, dog-killing slag has no business staging a California photo op in the center of a fiasco she helped create.
Hiding their identities like militarized KKK.
Fun fact:
The extreme shortage of medical specialists is a direct result of the US government cutting 1960’s federal funding that had been established to incentivize education in specialties.
The medical professionals who became specialists because of this funding are now dead or too old to practice, the government has seen this coming for decades, and nobody in congress really gave enough of a fuck to address it.
We can thank Senator John “but he’s a good guy” McCain for cramming this fucking land transfer into a 2014 Defense Department spending measure, under the guise of national security. So glad we’re safe, now.
I secretly feel apprehensive around white strangers, because I often get a vibe of entitled duplicity and barely contained violence. I’m white.
ETA I’m completely at ease around all other races.
… Danish unity party called the new US powers “alarming”. The party’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Trine Pertou Mach, told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten: “It is quite far-reaching that we are handing over law enforcement powers to a foreign country’s military police.”
According to the agreement it is irrevocable for 10 years. But last week, the Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said that if the US were to take over Greenland, Denmark would be able to pull out early.
“It goes without saying that a complete or partial American annexation of Greenland would entitle Denmark to terminate the defence cooperation agreement,” he wrote in a parliamentary response.
It’s fine to give the violent domestic abuser many big guns and keys to the house, because there’s a protection order. So if the victim is killed, we can kick out Mr Bullyface.

In 2015 a biologist from Alaska told me about the ~40,000 seabirds that had all starved to death, at ground zero on his bay, in a matter of weeks. He had been studying these murres for years, and he cried as he described the horror of it all. It was the start of the 4,000,000 bird die-off, which was apparently not newsworthy.
I don’t remember many conversations in my life, but this silenced alarm hit hard, because I saw that our mass extinction had arrived.
Sometimes I let myself think about life before “civilization”:
The stories of flocks of migrating birds numbering in the millions, darkening the skies for more than a day.
The plains with an ocean of waving grasses that sustained millions of buffalo, and the symbiotic chain of animal life that thrived in their wake.
The thousands of waterfalls that cascaded into freely flowing rivers and sustained riparian zones filled with vertebrates and insects.
Forests full of trees that were thousands of years old, sheltering the abundant wildlife.
I think of fireflies and bees and the absence of machine sounds, and I kinda wish I could go back in time to just … prevent hominins.
Several restaurants pushed back on Tuesday. Here’s an actual article instead of a tweet:

Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said in a statement on Friday that he had been briefed on the investigation, adding that he was “sickened by what appears to be an intentional act of violence.”
We’re all sickened by the intentional violence of police murdering whoever the fuck they want.
A rare atmospheric phenomenon that is due to extreme temperature variations in Spain. Meteorologists in Spain are not reporting any unusual temperatures, so I guess someone forgot to loop in the weather community.
Meanwhile, the estimated time to resolve the power outage has gone from around 10 hours to maybe a week.
Responding to a 45 minute video 11 minutes after it’s posted? Try watching it and see how many people DO care, and how many global organizations are collaborating to urgently address reef health.

Notably NOT charged is the raging misogynist shitwad Sheriff Bob Norris, who publicly ordered his 6 goons to remove her from the town hall.
Starving Chinese kids were why I had to gag down my peas.
A quick search shows a book called How to Prepare for Climate Change by David Pogue might be a good place to start.
