Deserts existed before goats evolved. In deserts like the Sahara, there’s not enough for goats to eat, so goats would have to come first. In grasslands that followed the African Humid Period, goat grazing would succeed. People could move on to greener pastures, and goats consume more desserts.

Ranchers could point to the people who buy their products. "We're just feeding families. If they didn't buy it, we wouldn't raise it."

Frontiers | Humans as Agents in the Termination of the African Humid Period There is great uncertainty over the timing and magnitude of the termination of the African Humid Period (AHP). Spanning from the early to middle Holocene, th...

Livestock have been degrading ecosystems since humans began herding. The Sahara's most recent cyclical reversion to grassland might have been over grazed, allowing topsoil to be blown away, leaving sand. www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

The brutal, despicable, and grim side of war. The burial of the 150 elementary school girls killed in American-Israeli strikes on #Iran was today.

Need oversight to prevent oversights.

I've noticed almost all litter is associated with things that aren't good to put in one's body. If people don't respect their own bodies, they won't respect the environment either.

Just need 67 senators to agree with you.

They have armored personnel carriers in your face on the ground state.

The original study includes, "...their cultivation is expected to increase to feed the growing population...” Good to see this often-ignored factor acknowledged.

Mail-in works too. Yes, machines read the ballots, but it's not the same as an electronic voting machine. Recounts verify.

I know this is going to come off as virtue signaling, and most of what's posted is true, but slut shaming one person spills over to others who are just trying to make it in a sometimes treacherous world. How consensual is that poll dance? Some unabashedly celebrate their sexuality & have that right.

Deaths from the lack of aide are estimated to be approaching a million. Plus the unwanted pregnancies from the lack of contraceptives. When a couple can't care for the offspring they have, another one harms the whole family.

Shhh. Don't give them more ideas. nightlight.org/snowflakes-e...

What do they imagine will happen to the estimated 1.5 million frozen embryos awaiting implantation? Each one is a human life, as far as they're concerned.

Ironic to have National Right to Life promoting a quote from someone opposing the Nazi regime, the regime which outlawed abortion.

Newsome vetoed a bill that would have required new clothes washers sold in California to filter out microplastics.

Speaking of Democrats pushed out of presidential nominations, Jesse Jackson was doing far better than old guard DNC was comfortable with. I remember his successes being downplayed in headlines as well. Funny thing, I haven't heard Felon47 announce flags at half mast yet. Maybe today.

We often use ballot drop boxes in Oregon, and now that a postmark isn't a guaranteed timely ballot, we need to mail early and use the box if we wait too long.

Eugene McCarthy may not have won the DNC primary in 1968, but he wasn't given a chance. Democrats wanted a peace candidate and the established party denied their wishes. Riots ensued.

Also, cadaver dogs are amazing at finding bodies.

The Democrat Party showed they would rather lose the election than run a socialist. Sanders would have won and Clinton lost. Here's hoping they'll take this advice from the American Voice of Reason.

It seems to me people are born with sympathy and empathy. An abusive childhood stunts it, and in some cases, eliminates it. They become sociopaths and successful politicians.

That's one of the aspects of anarchy. Be neither oppressed nor the oppressor.

I always watch for mention of our overshoot. If it's included as a factor, I look for the list of actions we can take at the end. Advising people to consider not co-creating more of us than we already have is vanishingly rare. Omission might be fear of attacks, or the writer might dismiss overshoot.

To be fair, he may have meant the toilet lid, and there aren't many germs there. Although, if it's a public toilet, there's no lid and the toilet seat might be the only slick surface available, except for the counter around the sink, and who knows what germs lurk there.

Most people these days are more familiar with K for a thousand than M.

This documentary thoroughly lays out all the impacts of animal agriculture, but fails to mention the multiplier: human overpopulation and persistent growth. People are eating more animal products per capita, and also 70 million per year more of us have to eat something.

This might be the best we can hope for from a politician. Yes, education and opportunity are very important, but without contraceptive health services, and the freedom to use them, girls and women will still be co-creating more offspring than they would otherwise prefer.

Only if you're more productive with one.

We can deduct the mortgage? Dang. I thought we could only deduct the interest. The things we can learn from... who is this guy again?
