Or, like, a real news agency with journalists integrity like @wired.com

Just to emphasize the point, we changed our rental car for the second part of our trip because we had to book an unplanned hotel room just to charge our car. Annoying.

Oh yeah, that’s a rad fire/flame effect. Sooty, dirty fire.

I see the benefit of having a single purpose app, especially for rental cars, but most electric cars have their own app for monitoring charge. It would be great if more of them offered touchless payment via Google or Apple wallets at least.

Definitely. That said, I do think the degradation of farmland by current industrial farming practices is a big sustainability and food security issue. If we deplete our farmland to the point of food system collapse we wouldn’t be the first civilization to contract because of it.

I can almost hear it.
“Well, if you used two gas pumps you could fill a tank faster so what if…”

Definitely agree with you there. I haven’t found a lot of regenerative farming material that focuses on it at scale, usually just one-off examples of why it’s great.
Though admittedly if the 10% rule from the trophic pyramid is right then eating less meat would be more efficient.

I agree with most of this. RFK, and a lot of people in the current administration, seem to be peddling a “one simple trick” fix for all of societies major woes.
That said, I think saying regenerative farming is good for soil health but “bad for the environment” is rather contradictory.

@andrewrimas.bsky.social & Even Fraser’s book Empires of Food is another good ones that talked about empires and environmental destruction. Great read.
