I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Site's getting hammered because of this but: web.archive.org/web/*/https:... Of course we saved it.

Not a conspiracy. Not pattern matching. Mention a document that makes people look silly, and they will wipe years of documents and paid-for research to save face. Only some forward thinking to save a copy prevents oblvion. Or as the Internet Archive calls it, Friday. Anyway. archive.org/donate

Fucking hell. I wish people remembered the difference between a conspiracy, and a conspiracy theory. Because this actually is a conspiracy. An incompetent, stupid, grim little conspiracy. What it's not, is a conspiracy theory. The words have meanings.

Look. I know language evolves but this is important. If we don't maintain both terms as separate things, then we literally strip our language of the ability to quickly differentiate between the delusional ranting of a far right nutjob who thinks 5g masts cause Covid and the Iran Contra affair FFS

Thanks for stopping by

You could be defensively, childishly sarcastic, or you could actually think about the harm this does and improve?

I mean, you literally said that an obvious conspiracy to cover up environmental impact limiting guidelines for the sake of attacking Mamdani, wasn't a conspiracy. Think about what it means, that you actually said that.
