•Anti-capitalist meme pebbler• @seizethememez.bsky.social · Aug 16

The image is a two-panel meme.

Top Panel:
- A person labeled "Majority of US" is reaching over a wall to grab the hand of another person falling from a roof labeled "Progressive Candidates."
- The text reads "I got you!"

Bottom Panel:
- The same scene is shown, but another person labeled "DNC" is hitting the first person's hand with a wooden plank pushing off the edge of the wall
- The text reads "Oh, no you don't!"

It is also worth saying that everyone who mocks some supposedly fake discipline like “gender studies“ or “Africana studies“ is also really excited about degree programs in things like “AI prompt engineering.”

Nothing wrong with a “fake” discipline if it flatters your world view and bank account!

It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Yet our entire global economy is built on the false promise of neoclassical economics that we can just keep extracting fossil fuels from the ground and arable land from forests, while dumping our waste products into the atmosphere, without leading to economic collapse (let alone mass death).

If you can’t see a straight line running from Bush and Cheney arguing with straight faces that the Vice President is not part of the Executive Branch to Trumpism I can’t help you.

The 20th-century economist Robert Solow created the theory of infinite economic growth by substituting "technological innovation" for the productivity of land in his model, thereby decoupling the economy from any limits imposed by land or ecosystems.

The world took his theory as gospel.

Climate intervention may not be enough to save coffee, chocolate and wine, new study finds

A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that even advanced climate intervention strategies may not be enough to secure the future of wine grapes, coffee and cacao. These crops are vital to many economies and provide livelihoods for farmers worldwide. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures […] The post Climate intervention may not be enough to save coffee, chocolate and wine, new study finds appeared first on IOP Publishing.

Ahh yes, two completely comparable situations of an unknown 35-year-old upstart running in a blue state again a Republican and another Democrat, which is exactly the same as a well-established House rep running a two person race

The Better Things Aren't Possible Wing has declared Spanberger is The Future Of The Democratic Party with this transparently stupid line fed to one of their press familiars

If polls hold, Spanberger is looking more

likely to clear 50% in her more swingy state than Mamdani is in a city so Democratic that only 6 of 51 city council members are Republicans.

Dems nationally say that matters a lot for thinking what comes next.
