I got to visit Scotland once and was told in no uncertain terms that we were not to refer to the weather as “cold.”
It might be brisk. It might even be bracing. But never cold. Has to be something to it.
Science and expert opinion should be respected, “your own research” is usually worthless, Black Lives Matter, Taiwan is a country, Love is Love, and Trans Rights are Human Rights.
No nazis or tankies, thanks.

Hah, my mom fell for this shit from letter that circulated around. Dumbest shit ever.
All due to Sodium Erythorbate.
Yes, clearly the only people that don’t like commies are fascists, like all of those people who lived under nominally “communist” regimes. Weird how they developed fascism from the experience.


You really think enough people are going to love doing septic tank maintenance and picking berries and all the other hot, painful, messy shit that people have to do to keep ourselves alive to support that? Because I don’t.
Maybe when we’ve got amazing robots that can do all that I guess, but then we’ve just moved on to robot maintenance and coding. Granted more people will be ok with those tasks, but they call it work because it’s WORK.

Not really into grimdark though; when positive change is impossible I tend to check out and lose interest in the story.
It’s there. To paraphrase Anton Ego though, new things need people to stick up for them. So if you see a new story, go see it and tell your friends. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a great example. Amazing movie, and it’s stuck with me.
Man I don’t wanna get into Scientology!
Yeah ok, I can believe that’d hold a week.

That’s an hour long, about a different video than the one I linked (or at least the bits I skimmed were), and so far as I know Gates understands that climate change is a huge threat. Greenwashing is a weird accusation and I don’t understand how it applies here.
But whatever, welcome to the block list.
There’s a strong argument to be made for nuke plants, but there’s a solid, high production value video here. It’s Kurzgesagt if you know them.
Gonna be first against the wall in the Robacalypse.
“I see you’ve been through enough traumatic experiences that you’ve developed age inappropriate styles of communication as a defense mechanism” is really what that means.
Oh, Biden ordered the invasion did he? Or should the rest of the world have just let Russia do whatever without a word?
