A Reconciliation Ecologist's Testimony at a People's Hearing
Something I had the honor to speak last week, to an auditorium full of Indigenous, Black and Brown, really a rainbow of environmental justice activists in Greensboro, NC.

it’s a little funny how every google gemini commercial is about parents using gemini because they are incompetent at being parents. the latest one was on how some parents ordered a lamb stuffy late so they made a video of it taking a vacation explaining why the thing can’t make it to christmas

If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

If you need a movie to watch this weekend, you could do much worse than Space Sweepers.
It's a superb Korean movie that really embraces the international nature of space and has a real fun with technology.

I don't usually like picking "favorites," but Space Sweepers is a movie I love SO much. Irreverent group of asshole idiots, lead by a Captain who reads as a lesbian, and including a trans robot, banding together with other low-lives to stick a middle finger into corpo faces.

BONUS: The claim that “100,000 Christians have been killed” comes from a group called InterSociety, who admitted to BBC just this month that they have no way to verify their claim with evidence or facts.
They’re literally making up alternative facts & Trump, Cruz, & MAGA are running with it.

Provocateurs want to try to make this a religious conflict.
It is not.
Their disinformation succeeds only in creating more fear & hate. These are the same people who are still silent on the genocide of Palestinian Christians by the Israeli & US Govt.
Dismiss their propaganda. Stick to facts.

The facts:
1) More than 95% of attacks & violence are due to political discord—not religion
2) Less than 5% of attacks are due to alleged religious reasons
3) Far more Muslims have been killed than have Christians
4) Muslims & Christian Nigerians are united in stopping the violence
In short—

His first book meticulously documented the lies & disinformation of anti-science contrarian physicians during the pandemic. Dr. Howard now documents in "Everyone Else is Lying to You” how they parlayed their prevarications into positions of power within the HHS. A well-written but horrifying read.
The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!
COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.
Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.
How did that happen?🧵
