idk i think our incentive should be to cure diseases with public funding and make people healthy instead of for profit but what do i know

Is this better science for you?

Empirical data.

It is.

"Meat and dairy products have especially large water footprints due to the amount of water-intensive feed required to raise the animals"

You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway's commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."?

Though I'm guessing you mean specifically "Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

So when I hear people chant "From the river to the sea" - I (and solidarity scholars) don't see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you "respect the law"

Thanks for telling on yourself.

*France is twice the population of California and 1.5 times the landmass

From said article: "Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting."

Idk, this doesn't sound like distancing tbh

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it's not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn't smell the smoke either.

And again you don't even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I'm sure you may think one person can't make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that's helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.

Also this isn't a sprint - it's a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.

And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don't think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.

Why try to do anything so this doesn't happen when it's easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃

Name a more iconic duo than admin posts and 0 upvotes

Doesn't providing nuance counter the homogeneity? Also what's the alternative? Algorithmically promotes content? But those create even more of an echo chamber as you only see what the algo thinks you'll personally engage with.

I guess meeting in person might be better - but even then your neighborhood is probably rather classist so idk how much you'd end up not in an echo chamber either :/

the app is called AltTab..

This is peak neo-fascist dystopia and it reveals the true nature of anti-immigration policy of humiliation and alienation.

The human rights and dignity violations, be it done with chains and cameras or with campaigns and administrative hearings - share the same hateful roots.

Don't let this shift the overton window such that "civil immigration measures" become acceptable - push back on it now before it becomes the new normal.

You know what would reduce it by almost 50%? Not spending half your salary on rent...

Maybe then people could afford solar panels, insulation, heat pumps and general home improvements with their newly discovered 100% increase in spending

denied was implied by comparing musk's salute to that of the pope waving his arm - but fair, she didn't outright say it

still the timing is most definitely not coincidental - but I can see how that can seem that way if you didn't browse xitter when it happened

her tweet was made a day after musk's salute and consequent "funny" nazi puns - alongside posts denying the salute as sincere, therefore enabling nazi normalization

the issue isn't if JK is a swastika waving nazi - she most likely isn't - the issue is she's siding with fascists because they share the same hateful rhetoric and is willing to defend and normalize their behavior because she sees them as allies and the "woke leftists" as the enemy.

we couldn't agree on an illustrator. He wanted Eva Braun, but the sample sketches he showed me were shit.

If he wanted Eva Braun to be the illustrator why would he show JK his own sketches and not hers? Why even mention Eva at that point?

Idk but imma head out as I don't have the energy to dissect a poorly written attempt at a joke by a known nazi apologist..

I mean Eva Braun was a photographer so not sure why her sketches would have been good? But I guess she was trying to shoehorn hitler being a bad artist but just didn't know how to tie it in?

Call be old-fashioned but I prefer my jokes to be funny because they're clever not because "haha hitler couldn't draw amirite"
