Or by their appeasers and collaborators.

Most wilderness hiking, and all wilderness hiking in the cold months, should be strictly at your own risk. Sending out search parties in hazardous conditions is wildly irresponsible, and that's not the fault of wilderness restoration, FFS. The mountains aren't a goddamn playground.

You won't find these guys arguing to put themselves out of a job, though - just to make it easier. Bottom line, anyone who tackles a high peak in late November, alone, in a snow storm, is either actively trying to die, or just too stupid and selfish to live.

Like, for sure it's fucked up that rangers currently have to risk their safety and waste public resources looking for people who take irresponsible risks with their own lives; but there are policy solutions for that, short of scrapping rewilding practices.

Rangers claim search for hiker was impeded by wilderness restoration rules Leaders of the search for Leo Dufour say DEC's intentional destruction of old Adirondack logging roads reduced options to speed hunt for the Canadian hiker later found dead on Allen Mountain.

Just a reminder that Sanders is trash and his dead-end cult of personality was never a threat to fascism. Also, "iLEgaL" immigration is a made-up problem, and the only comprehensive reform we need is to send every last ICE/CBP agent and quisling collaborator in Congress to the fucking moon.

on this st patricks day, a plea for irish americans to remember that the thing we have to be proud of is 800 years of anti-colonial resistance, not green beer.

An open bag of potting soil rests on a dining room chair. A gray cat crouches on the table above, peering into the bag. A second gray cat lounges to the left, lying on her back and swiveling her head to stare upside-down into the camera. Both cats project the appearance of serious and competent gardeners who are certainly not waiting for the hooman to leave the room so they can knock the bag over and play in the dirt.

Sass and Neelix have taken up gardening.

hi there! neighborhood chickenlittle here. there’s an administrative coup happening right now that is barely being reported on, and trade wars are set to start tomorrow that will absolutely impact the entire world economy.

Here’s what Democrats should do: Oppose. Oppose all of it. In every way. Anything less is compliance. I don’t want to hear the mealy mouthed excuses.

Thousands in Germany have taken the streets protest the rise of the Elon Musk and Kremlin supported neo-Nazi party AfD, ahead of the general election.

A gray cat with white chin and paws sleeps peacefully on a colorful bedspread, curled against a gray pillow.

My napping privileges have been put on paws for the foreseeable future.

These folks punch above their weight to defend and empower immigrants, all over the Hudson Valley - well beyond Columbia County!

Closeup of two gray cats in a hallway. In the foreground, one sprawls perpendicular to the wall, hind legs askew and belly exposed, with a foot propped on the baseboard. She holds her front paws in a bunny pose and looks directly into the camera with alert ears and an intense expression, suggesting surprise and perhaps irritation. In the background, another cat crouches somewhat defensively, ignoring the camera and staring inscrutably at the first cat's belly.

What did I interrupt?

I Protested Trump’s First Inauguration. But I’m Not Marching Against Him Today. There is little point in going to Washington today to oppose Trump’s return — Trumpism never left. There are more urgent tasks now.

A couple days late, still worth the read. I don't regret going to DC for J20 back in 2017, but volunteering on jail & court support for the arrestees left me with a dim view of open-ended "shut it down"™️ street theater as a tactical response to fascism. theintercept.com/2025/01/20/t...

I think they got the English population mixed up with the total for the UK, and we all know England's top export is bad police procedurals. Still real, unfortunately, but nothing a good revolution couldn't fix.

Hahahahaha

Well I for one am judging you harshly for your aversion to the water of life. 😤 (Ok, maybe my Irish cultural conditioning didn't leave me with the healthiest perspective on this issue... 🤔)

Haha fair enough. Alcohol advertising in general is super gross imo. But if I fell off the wagon today, it would def be for whiskey, lol. 😂

Lmao what brought on this observation 👀

South Korea live: South Korea president backs down from martial law order after MPs vote to block it Demonstrators who had gathered to protest at the sudden introduction of military rule are now celebrating.

I assume I'm missing some nuance here, and maybe the opposition's heroics were as performative as usual in politics. Still, it's hard to picture Chuck Schumer hopping a fence in defiance of executive overreach, for clout or otherwise. Maybe he could take some notes... www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

Haha I def feel this. Too many years in retail and food service, not to mention religious trauma... I still get that flood of cortisol every time I hear a Christmas carol in the grocery store, and an urge to light a Yule log in the seasonal aisle. 😂

Annoying to see the TU give this much attention to a dead-end vanity campaign, but I did get a laugh out of Skoufis trying to style himself as some kind of maverick while pandering to police unions in the same breath.
