Do something you love regularly and hopefully it’s something that gives back. For me it’s gardening and volunteering at a community garden. Tomorrow our group of volunteers are starting native pollinators plants from seeds we have gathered. 💚

“We will have to hold some media companies accountable,” @cathmckenna.bsky.social said of online hate & misogyny. “There are no controls, because these large U.S. companies, run by billionaire tech bros, use algorithms to amplify hate.” www.thewhig.com/opinion/run-...

‘Run like a girl’ to defeat misogyny

Yep. I cooked our turkey, fixings and pies yesterday so we can have a decadent weekend of stress free eating and celebrating the harvest season.

The result of unfettered capitalism. Greed is never satisfied. The lie that people with less deserve it. Exceptionalism.

A "beautiful experience" isn't a term often used for a trip to an outhouse, but researchers at the University of British Columbia say the description fits for their mushroom-powered waterless toilet.

Cult. Religion. Frightening and ridiculous. How learned people can be persuaded to refuse science, data and knowledge because of their own personal experience is irresponsible at best.

It’s just so exhausting. Decades of denial. The unraveling from O$&G could have been handled so much better with the implementation and RandD funding of new sustainable technology much earlier. But not enough money for the greedy companies, I guess.

This may go on the must watch list. The Israel biz article was an eye opener. We must protect and fund public education in 🇨🇦 to the max!

Here is a good meme to post on highly controversial posts where emotional reactions build a misinformation narrative

Remind people of the dangers of fake news and give them questions to ask about the post to spark thoughtful discussion that leads to critical thinking

Bondi is lying but it’s worse than that: she’s blurring the line between fact and fiction for the GOP base. If nothing is true, no one can be held accountable. Keep speaking the truth.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda
1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and
familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
nere by dennis prestosk
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powertul than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be lite or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

Good. Let’s get back to the positive breakthrough of vaccines and the preventative measures they provide across the globe. Science for the win!

“A pipeline rupture that sparked a 2024 wildfire in west-central Alberta was caused by a crack, says a report released Thursday.”

If we’re debating what can cause a wildfire still…
