White-tailed Deer are pretty common in my neighborhood but I’m continually surprised that something so big and majestic could pass through my yard

I hope every day you all are trying to cultivate joy. A kindness to a neighbor. A long walk. Poetry. Birdwatching. Meditation. Being silly and playing peekaboo in a checkout line with a cute baby. These are dark times, and joy is something the bastards cannot take from us. Fight for it.

Regardless of your political ideology, if there is a movement, social group, or technology which actively discourages you from thinking or imagining things for yourself, you need to be very very very skeptical if not reject it outright. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.
A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history.

Healthy biodiverse soil also contains bacteria that aides (signals to humans) in production of serotonin.
Kill the soil with big agrochemical chemicals and you depress and sicken generations while causing major weather changes. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/66840

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
