This stage of capitalism feels like the end of a monopoly game that’s been going on for hours and you already know you lost but the dick winning won’t let you go to bed until they get all of your money or you die.

You know what goes really, really poorly with climate change? Menopause.

First IRL cybertruck sighting &, uh, it looks like a stick figure drawing of a DeLorean. Just embarassingly awkward-looking.

Le sigh.

"The White House had every reason to understand that neither Israel’s interests nor Netanyahu’s are aligned with Biden’s—and yet it decided to stake Biden’s legacy on Netanyahu’s prosecution of this war." www.thenation.com/article/arch...

The Lifelong Incoherence of Biden’s Israel Strategywww.thenation.com The president’s muddled policy course in the Middle East is angering voters across the political spectrum—and it could usher Trump back into the White House.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

as a texan and thus expert in Air Conditioning, if you let your place get hot and then try to cool it down later, it takes more energy.

Interesting article to run prior to a weekend where we expect a devastating heat wave and label it as “climate solutions”

June is the new August, July is the new pizza oven, August is the new Venus (the planet, not the god or the tennis player).

Denver Basic Income Project: Who would have ever thought that a city program to benefit residents would benefit the residents of that city *and improve the bottom line of the city's budget? Gaa, it's like creating a more stable living situation for people also creates a better city For the People.

maybe no one person should have enough money to destroy the ozone layer

so in addition to causing significant light pollution that harms astronomical research, the sheer volume of starlink low earth orbit satellites constantly burning up on re-entry could prevent the ozone layer from healing, scientists warn:

Elon Musk's Starlink satellites could burn up the ozone layer, scientists warnwww.yahoo.com A new study warned that internet satellites like Starlink's could send damaging chemicals into the ozone layer when they burn up on reentry.

We banned CFCs to protect and heal the ozone and now satellite constellations might burn it up again. Starlink will be burning up 2,000 satellites per year in perpetuity for its service.

SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Findsfuturism.com SpaceX's growing Starlink megaconstellation could be hindering the Earth's ozone layer from healing itself, researchers find.

This is *huge*. Folks don’t realize how hard it is to get/stay in the US! Most students cannot stay, even if they get jobs. Even if they get jobs and are married to US citizens. As Joyce notes, there can be YEARS of wait.

Biden is going to let the undocumented spouses of American citizens stay in the country while they apply for green cards!!!
