Dominion Voting Systems sold to company run by former Republican election official Dominion Voting Systems, which sued Fox over its reporting on the 2020 election, has been sold to a seemingly new election company run by a former GOP election official.

The Death of Social Media A mixed blessing.

Gotta be honest. I used to love social media. It was a place to go and connect, to learn, to express, even if it was about unpleasant stuff. Now, it very much feels like that's gone. I have an aversion to social media now.

Iran's Water Crisis Is Its Greatest Threat The collapse of water security in Iran has been decades in the making and is rooted in a mania for mega projects.

Iran faces “water bankruptcy”—wells collapsing, rivers dying, over 10,000 villages without drinking water. A preview of what happens when economies run on the illusion of an infinite planet.

Abbott sent his Elite National Guard unit to Chicago. Be afraid Deep Dish Pizza, be very afraid.

Everything, everyone, always focused on the wrong things

EU Parliament pushes for ‘veggie burger’ ban
Unbelievable we are in a climate crisis where meat production is a huge driver of carbon emissions and deforestation

Trump calls for jailing Democratic leaders as troops prepare for Chicago deployment CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for jailing Chicago's mayor and the governor of Illinois, both Democrats, as his administration prepared to deploy militar...

Trump is following almost to the letter Hitlers path to power. Sending the SS into Democratic neighborhoods to start violence and then blaming it on Democrats is classic Weimar Republic Germany. Now he wants to start jailing opposition leaders.

Hubris and desperation are dangerous bedfellows.

Humanity constantly creates environmental quick-fixes with no thought or regard for their future ramifications. The possibility exists that one of these cherished solutions will be our swan song.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Ranch owner highlights surprising benefits of so-called 'pest' on his property: 'They're doing me a favor' "I don't want to run them off."

Oregon just passed laws to protect beavers — but only because they “benefit humans.” As soon as they start doing beaver things that benefit beavers, they’re killed. We will never see ourselves as part of nature. #RacingToExtinction

Marine mammals are dying in record numbers along the California coast — Los Angeles Times It's been a doozy of a year for marine mammals, who have been dying in record numbers along the California coast. Volunteer rescue crews are traumatized and fatigued, but refuse to give up.

Nearly 400 marine mammals have washed up sick or dead on California’s Central Coast since June. Leptospirosis, toxic algal blooms, food collapse. The ocean itself is becoming uninhabitable for the life it holds — and most deaths go unseen. #RacingToExtinction

No wonder I never had friends as a kid (or most of life)
I ALWAYS was going against the grain
ALWAYS guided by morals
Always punk, always anarchy

No one understood me, and I never understood anyone else

I've never been a follower and never cared about "fitting in"

Adolescents Are More Speciesist Than Adults Adults love to say they “care about animals”, then order their corpses for dinner.

Teenagers are hyper-attuned to belonging. Step too far outside the group, and you risk ridicule or exclusion. Saying “meat is wrong” in that context feels like social suicide. So many default to parroting whatever line the majority uses.

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

And that's exactly what will happen

The only thing worse than not seeing the Epstein files released would be seeing them released and then having to watch as NOTHING is done to the powerful men in those files.

The World’s Oceans Are Hurtling Toward a Breaking Point — WIRED Climate change, pollution, and fishing are pushing oceans closer to their limits at an unprecedented rate. The pressure of that human impact is expected to double by 2050, according to a new study.

“Such a future doesn’t have to arrive,” they say. Sure! Zeus could create glaciers, Dumbledore could cast a carbon-removal spell, or Mary Poppins could blow in with a bag of mangroves. Short of magic, we’re still Homo sapiens doing what Homo sapiens do. 🫤
