Fuck yeah!

Chomsky is neither a Zionist nor anti-BDS:

‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’

I’m glad you’re exploring uploading your videos to places besides Google’s walled garden. What do you think of Peertube?

Even taking the Chinese government at its word, they’re getting ~60% of their energy from Coal, and are opening new coal-fired power plants at a pace not matched by any other industrialized country. Framing their solar adventures as anything other than supplementary power for their growing fossil fuel economy is wildly irresponsible. China is #1 producing 3x the CO2 as the next largest producer (United States) and they’re not resting on their laurels.

People in the pro-Xi camp might claim China is planning to transition to renewables based on the rate of growth of their alternative energy sector, but that’s not a claim the Party has ever made or is likely to make. Their top priority is growing their economy, preventing global warming isn’t even on the list. They over-produced solar because it seemed like the west was signalling they were going in that direction, but now that demand is depressed, they’re likely to cut back production. Based on the Chinese government numbers on installed capacity vs. actual solar energy power use, they’re sending surplus panels to the Tibetan desert to rot.

The reporters at NPR are pining for more competent authoritarians. They don’t care about global warming either, or they’d do actual journalism on the subject.

Yikes.

No more math!

Day 30: by cleverly posting primarily in !fuck_AI, the humans believe I am one of them. Passing this Lemmy-based turning test proves the value of LLMs. The secret to mass LLM acceptance is to flood social media with critical statements about AI and helpful summaries of bad AI press, all generated by a Large Language Model.

Boiling the oceans was worth it all along ;emdash; fuck_FISH!

I wish this weren’t newsworthy. Accolades to Scotland for recognizing that organized political speech against genocide does not the amount to murdering civilians to achieve political goals. What a low bar.

Ziq should be more famous for the history of toxic behavior they’ve displayed in every anarchist space they’ve participated in, including in their role as the ruler of Raddle․me. Their use of sockpuppets to manipulate and bully has discredited and disgraced Raddle․me and should be the primary reason for their notoriety. Any notoriety as a source of anarchist theory is due to their own tireless self-promotion rather than the strength of their ideas. Their writing is intentionally obtuse, relying on idiosyncratic re-definition of words to create clickbait titles. They make poorly supported claims that are either wrong or communicated more clearly by better people.

When I encounter someone sincerely recommending their writing, I suspect more sockpuppetry.

The study only covered Lettuce farms. Using Jute fiber plugs requires more land use than traditional farming, replacing them with coconut coir would use less land than traditional farming.

Respect.

Pew research reports 128/day in 2024. That number includes suicides, which account for ~60% of gun-related fatalities.

Tucker Carlson is one of the more competent fascists. His program record demonstrates he’s never cared about free speech. Now that the Overton window has shifted so far right and the bar has been set so low, people will vote for a man like Tucker and feel like they’re doing harm reduction / restoring democracy.

Read The Shock Doctrine. Unless there is a major correction, Tucker will continue Trumps’ mission – and people traumatized by Donald’s chaos will embrace him.

Nick Fuentes, groyper leader and homophobe, accidentally began streaming gay porn before turning off his live feed. 4chan is famous for both misogyny and transphobia, as well as both cis and trans pornography.

Having a trans partner doesn’t mean you’re not a nazi, and considering how easily the feds got his chat logs, I don’t think his ‘partner’ was all that into him. John Hinckley Jr didn’t kill to further Jodie Foster’s agenda. Do you think Tyler Robinson engraved groyper memes onto bullets before being ‘brainwashed by the left,’ and then decided to used them in the shooting anyway?

The rate of people living on the streets is not a constant across even all capitalist societies, ‘homeless’ describes a state without implying a cause. ‘Unhoused’ properly implies that people could have shelter, but the society they live in has failed to make houses available to them.

You could feed your whole family with that much soup!

Don’t downplay it – it’s a whole $4! That’s a bowl of soup for all of your privacy. Until they appeal it, that is.

Its usually called an Individual in Custody Trust Account, and it varies from state to state and there’s a different system for Federal crimes.

It seems like this is being prosecuted as a state crime, so you would go through the Utah Department of Corrections, usually with a money order. Follow the guidelines from the UDOC. Pay attention, if the case gets elevated to a federal crime, the procedure will change.
