Think about this.
White supremacists terrorized Black & Indigenous people for 300 years. And when that terror was finally made illegal, white rebel groups further terrorized Black & Indigenous people for another 100 years via Jim Crow. And while $0 reparations were paid to remedy the 400 years of terror, now to simply acknowledge that terror is called the "woke mind virus."
White privilege is ignoring the cancer of white supremacy—but condemning the teaching of that history "a virus."😐
Carol Cadwalladr is a hero. She was the reporter who broke the Cambridge Analytica social media story, and has been subsequently hounded by some of the most powerful shady operators on the planet. If she is talking about something way beyond anything we have ever seen before pay attention. It's certainly coming. It will be sophisticated and infect every corner of media and social media.
20 Years Ago on July 6th, 2002 - the brilliant economist and thinker John Kenneth Galbraith, gave an interview in which he said this perfect bit:
“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”
Woking becomes the first council in Surrey to have no Tories at all. I repeat, IN SURREY. 🤣

New way to double the life of lithium ion batteries found.
Batteries can be charged not with a constant charge, but a "pulsed" charge slows anode change.
Cars and smartphones whose batteries last twice as long?
Wind power cost has declined by 1/2. Solar power costs have fallen 90% in ten years
"Solar and battery storage prices have dropped almost 90% in 10 years"
Oil fools ARE RAISING PRICES while trying to kill us.
BUILD ALL THE SUN.
Build all the wind.

Not how I see it.
More like 1,000 years of self-serving ineptitude.
From the Guardian:
"Tory party to lose almost 1,000 years of Commons experience when MPs quit
Sixty-six MPs who already plan to stand down at election have 987 years between them, analysis shows"
It’s not just Thames Water: the whole of the English water industry is environmentally insolvent https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/03/29/its-not-just-thames-the-whole-of-the-english-water-industry-is-environmentally-insolvent/ There is much fuss about Thames Water right now. but none of the UK's water companies have a hope of meeting their obligations to supply clean water, rivers and beaches and simultaneously meet net-zero obligations. They are environmentally insolvent. Any government has to face up to this reality or we are all in very deep trouble.
@daftguru I agree. IMO we’ve invented stories that are now so strong they bind our western liberal capitalist societies into a collective ignorance.
Many factors have weakened our connection with nature, not least that we’re part of it.
We’ve forgotten too much about the natural world and that knowledge is now with indigenous peoples or is a minority sport for nature geeks & scientists.
And that’s a big issue if you want to reimagine a better society.
Alexey Navalny's grave is somewhere under all these flowers. If you ask me, this single image disproves the trolls, bots, and propagandists who spent more than a decade insisting that Navalny is a political nobody exaggerated by Western outsiders. https://t.me/molokonews/20355

Among the thousands of mourners around the church where the funeral service should take place there are foreign diplomats too, including the German, French and US ambassadors, have arrived at the church to pay their respects to Alexei #Navalny
Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, Pierre Levy and Lynne Tracy have been pictured near the church, dressed in black and carrying red roses.
The hearse carrying Navalny's coffin has arrived at the church where his funeral ceremony will be held shortly.
#Navalny 's team has said that there are issues with mobile internet coverage, which makes it difficult to stream live footage.
Thousands around the church where #Navalny 's coffin has been taken to chant his name, chant 'we won't forgive', 'we won't give up', 'we won't surrender', "You were not afraid, and we are not afraid"
If Israel believes they are losing the PR war perhaps they could stop killing children and see if their reputation improves.
millions of barrels of oil could be left in the ground, instead of being used to fuel the climate crisis.
On January 18, a Norwegian court said “no way” to the Norwegian government’s approval of three oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
The momentous win comes after Greenpeace Nordic and Nordic and Natur og Ungdom (Young Friends of the Earth Norway) launched the latest in a string of climate cases against the Norwegian State.
@GreenerFutures "just like the one they (think) they remember."
There never was a golden age, except that time when paradise was handed to us and all was broadly in balance; land, water, fresh air in abundance, no species forced to live in inhospitable regions without having properly evolved to do so.
Humans think they are intelligent. Look around and you will see that we are not!
@JoshuaHolland As far as I can tell as somone outside the US Trump is far worse than Biden for gaffs etc and his politics aside stupider and less experienced .But I do think Biden ought to have pushed Kamala Harris into the spotlight more and possibly have run as vice president to her .That would have got rid of what seems to be (again to an outsider) the only real weapon against Biden and contrasted their candidate with old man Trump and as a woman as opposed to a sexist ,rapist.
