Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried
You would likely start from the center of your galaxy, then pick a culturally relevant star near the outskirts, in our case Sol, and call that, well, something (Solbound?) Then work your right angles from there. You could pick other cultural stars in the other directions too.
Most galaxies are pretty flat, so you'd probably have to reference a conveniently positioned other galaxy for your up and down.
Idk, words are tools as well. Right now it's being used to wake people up to the fact that republican policies are very invasive, harmful, and unpopular. I get being uncomfortable, but this is just language being language. And it's overall going to be beneficial.
Being publicly opposed to assassination of your own government leaders is hardly sympathy. It comes down to some pretty basic principles of "don't kill" and "don't give the FBI a reason to knock on my door".
What jack black said is the celebrity equivalent of "lets be careful of what we say online"
Just because our side isn't as popular as you'd like doesn't mean we don't have democracy. Now what we do have is a flawed system with lots of mechanisms for a minority party to grind the gears to a halt, and incredibly low voter turnout especially among the far left.
The only way out is to vote in a supermajority of reps who want to fix the system. So vote blue this year, and start building an electable coalition for next cycle. Don't just stand there, do something
It would be incredibly stupid to switch out Biden now. Who would we replace him with thar we're so sure would beat Trump with this little time left until the election? If the plan was ever going to be to replace Biden, he would have had to step down at least 5 months ago.
