bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.
We domesticated them to deliver our messages and then disposed of them when the phone was invented and now they can’t hunt those poor things, she is absolutely right!
Germans who voted from 1930-1933 were not being told the Nazis planned to kill all the Jews. Some heavily bought into the anti-semitic idea of "removing Jewish influence", others wanted to get out of the Treaty of Versailles. Some were horrified by the threat of Bolshevism.
I asked if I got my blood type from my mom or dad and my mom said, “neither your blood type is impossible from either of us that’s why we think you’re a changeling” and when I said haha that’s probably not true SHE DOUBLED DOWN??
editing directing acting are at such a Peak
too miss the flow of good releases these days is like being a bourgeois 1890s-1930s citizen who doesn’t like going to Concerts.
Imagine replacing all of the progressive journalist coaching of Dems’ comms with promoting the organizing of non electoral political action.
It would help reflect, if not create, a much healthier US left.
The whole may queen dance scene is SO perfect.
What should be the MOST disorienting moment is in fact a home base. Dani has found her footing, her people, and is dancing with joy.
Midsommar so powerfully explores ego.

“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take.
I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.
So many neat things happening that give reason to believe we can still build a better world, even in the face of climate catastrophe & right-wing psychosis. We can't give up hope.

Bonkers. Still lab scale, but a team has created an anode free, solid state, sodium battery. It's basically just sodium and an aluminum (some powdered) current collector. Huge theoretical potential for abundance, fast charging, high density.
Regular reminder (no one reads me but I’m still self-conscious abt repeating myself)
atmospheric CO2 for the next century (& only that, ideally) is a stock not a flow problem. A leak followed by a gradual reduction is a fucking DISASTER that we now have a pathway to avert.
Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.
