Will It Be or Barbarism for the Twenty-First Century?

fewer than half of Americans believe that the US is a .

The reasons are 1) corruption (73%), followed by 2) corporate control of the political system (72%). In other words, the reasons for this missing democracy are economic.

Illuminating the depravity of late-stage capitalism is a fools errand without alternatives. The US— Left, Right, and Center, is beholden to the logic of

@BenHoare plenty of propaganda in US, too, about heat pump efficiency in US Midwest where winter cold is as low as Nordic countries. Biden administration’s Infrastructure legislation (the replacement for a more thorough Green New Deal), however, includes rebates for heat pumps to encourage them throughout the country.

Dear companies: Thank you for providing easy opt-out links for your bullshit emails.

PS: FUCK YOU for defaulting users to opt-in to bullshit marketing emails that nobody ever wants in the first place without notifying users that they will be receiving this shit in their inbox.

PSS: Thank you for including a "Cancel Account" link in your profile management page. I will CERTAINLY make use of it. (Looking at you Lyft and Doordash)

"Hey folks, exciting news, you can join us for a week long tutor lead course on creating photobooks. So come on, what are you waiting for?"

The small print; the five day course costs a $7,700 USD one off payment or up to $9,900 USD with payment plan options! You'd need to sort out a hotel/b&b/lodgings on top of that.

So, nah.......!

This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.

Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.

But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen in human history, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.

The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.

The annual wildfire season in Canada is coming to an end. Or, anyway, it *should* be by now.

But 2023 is unlike any other year. As of yesterday, there were more than 900 fires still burning, over half of them out of control.

Look at the area burned in the second graph below. The damage to wildlife is literally incalculable. Greenhouse gas emissions from all of these fires is off the charts.

Sure, some reply guy will tell you that forest fires are normal and natural and necessary. But not like this. What we’re seeing this year is an *unnatural* catastrophe caused by human industry, by the oil companies, their financiers, and the governments that support and subsidize them.

It’s a crime. It’s ecocide. And you know what? To them, it’s just Business As Usual.
