Olive farmer on the Costa Blanca with dreams of going carbon negative. (Mostly) retired progressive political rabble rouser
The @washingtonpost.com has been going downhill for the past year between tossing great writers like @ruthmarcus.bsky.social and @ejdionne.bsky.social and the ed. board becoming fascist bootlickers, but I hung on cause of their fantastic climate coverage. Now that's gone too, so time to say goodbye

given the decimation of the @washingtonpost.com, time to cancel my subscription. Replacing it with subscriptions to the @wcp.bsky.social and @theguardian.com @us.theguardian.com

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.

We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

Folks we are over $3k.

You can participate in our food drive 2 ways!

This doesn't stop till Minnesota is free from federal occupiers terrorizing our neighbors

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

This correct,
1. Raiders
1. Last Crusade
3. Dial of Destiny
4. Temple
5. Crystal Skull Sucky Sucks
Modal response seems to be:
Raiders and Last Crusade battling for the top two slots
Then Temple
Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny for the last two

I enjoyed Dial of Destiny more - would make it top 3.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

That's why I keep saying: fascism, the ultimate end of reactionary politics, is not an alternative ideology or set of principles. It is their absence. It's a permission structure, license to slough off the voice of conscience, join a thought-deafening mob, and indulge your basest instincts.

It's not just digital platforms! Appliances, phones, computers, cars...

The one thing I learned from my internship at Microsoft when I was a wee college student was that these companies have no incentive to fix their shitty products.

A friend asked me to add education levels and poverty rates to explore correlations to violence and homicide rates. The result is painful and nothing the National Guard can fix. These states also rely heavily on aid from Blue states.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.
