Really worth the read. Maybe it’s okay to promote housing, yes, but also have respect for nature. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Please write this into a book. This entire thread was so enlightening. Here I thought I knew the gamut of Peter T lore. Wow.

This would be nonsensical. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

🗣️We want small electric vehicles!!! I want a car that is dumb, where the software won’t get bricked if the automaker goes under. I want a car where the battery will be recycled by the company and can be replaced.

giving myself a gold star for this

I’m also a former 2 term AmeriCorps member and it’s absurd that these people who are paid poverty wages are being cut in the name of cost savings. Give me a fucking break. The economic and human benefits of AmeriCorps are immense and to see it cut makes no sense.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Via @grist.org grist.org/biking/one-m...

People aren’t broke because they’re “splurging” on iPhones and lattes, people are broke because corporations have bought up housing, control our healthcare, and are gouging at the register.

People do. not. want. these.

Make Depressions Great Again

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Being an adult is saying "I just have to get through this week" every week until you die.

Fuck this

Planned obsolescence began in earnest as a result of the Great Depression. We can actively choose to regulate this so we can keep our purchases for a lifetime instead of 5-6 years.

If I listen to Taylor Swift, I only want to listen to Scooter’s Version

Absolutely must be read.

Pam Bondi says ICE agents can enter ANYBODY’S home without a warrant to find “illegals.” Baby girl fuck you. Grown men are NOT coming into my house looking for a goddamn thing. I’ll sue you bitches to the STRATOSPHERE Signed, Someone who already sued the Dept. of Corrections and won.

Have you visited a physical bookstore lately? They're delightful. There are actual people there. You can touch the books, flip through them, smell them, and marvel at the crazy way the shop has decided to group the books. Sometimes an author even shows up to read part of her book to you.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

I wish I lived in a timeline where we weren’t funding genocide but funding public transit; we weren’t jailing judges but jailing oil and gas executives. This could be the subject line of an otherwise LONG wishlist.

They are arresting judges now, ramping up a campaign of intimidation against the judicial branch. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

Warms my heart to see people make it easier for insects, especially insects like wasps, to feed.

I love this

Always keep your eyes up & on the lookout for unmarked cars & plain clothes pigs. Just caught these guys down the street creepily waiting for people to leave the action. Make sure to have a buddy system!

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.
