Tech: officially Not Saving Us
This is just mind-bendingly wrong-headed. ‘Let’s just adapt, tech will save us’ has always been a reckless strategy, but as evidence mounts that natural carbon sinks are failing it really does start to sink into a form of climate denialism.

I used to think moving Confederate statues was a good compromise. I still think it's better than leaving them out in public, but it's just a step toward justice.

when it comes to Confederate statues, you gotta melt the shit down or otherwise fuck it up so badly it cannot be repaired
bc if there is even a possibility that it can be restored?? these motherfuckers are gonna put it right back up at the earliest opportunity

Feels symbolic that a Confederate statue first installed in 1901, at the peak of the consolidation of the Jim Crow system—when the states of the former Confederacy were in the midst of revising their constitutions to disfranchise Black citizens—has been reinstalled.

Right Proper brewery co-founder Thor Cheston knows that advocating against D.C.'s proposed bottle bill might put him on the wrong side of environmentally conscious customers: "We have to take that risk to be judged in the court of public opinion because if we do not fight this, we do not exist.”
