In news that will surprise no one from Reuters: "UN inquiry says Israel kept committing genocide in Gaza after truce" My dear friend and her family in Gaza have lost everything. They rely on donations. Please give if you can. No amount is too small. And help others. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

no human election should be able to affect the amazon, no human decision should be able to affect any forest, if you disagree you should be eaten alive by hungry bears, sorry if this offends

4,000 bison in Yellowstone: too many bison, get rid of 'em 200 wolves in Wyoming: too many wolves, start shooting any rat anywhere in the world: too many rats, kill 'em all 8.3 billion humans on earth: who's to say, not nearly enough probably, I bet we could comfortably fit a few trillion more

Bird flu came out of industrial poultry farming, and has been devastating wild bird populations ever since. Via industrial fur farming, it now threatens to do the same to us. Animal farming is one of the greatest dangers to life on Earth.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

A bunch of people going “boy the Democrats better do Nuremberg 2 when they get in power” again and they’re never going to do that, not in a million years, so better start thinking about what to do that doesn’t involve a capitalist political party that has never cared if you lived or died

At Nuremberg itself they only tried a couple dozen nazis, and that was after they’d lost the most destructive war in history. Do you think the Democrats, who as a class have far more in common with their fascist colleagues across the aisle than they do with you, are going to arrest Stephen Miller

The past decade of the left has been overwhelmingly dedicated to the proposition that a better world can be brought about through electoral politics and it has been an absolute disaster. No one is coming to save us, if you want to see nazis hang you have to do it yourself

My neighbor told me his Democrats keep turning into Republicans so I asked how many Democrats he has and he said he just goes to the primaries and gets a new Democrat and I said it sounds like he’s just feeding his votes to Republicans and then his children started crying

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

Humans encroach on wildlife and destroy habitat, wildlife is forced to look for food where humans are, humans kill wildlife as dangerous pests invading their space, great job

Great that the glorified cops who killed the bears are called “conservation officers,” even greater that one of the bears is singled out for the crime of property damage

what lead you to conclude that history has a happy ending, was it the development of nuclear weapons or our filling the oceans with plastic waste

a better world is possible, but not while people like this sit around squeamishly thinking "gosh I don't want to hear about bad news, tell me about how things are getting better, somehow"

I see things like this constantly, every day a demand to see "good news," and it's hard to read this as anything other than a desperate attempt to maintain a state of denial

This is a culture steeped in pathological denial, where thousands are already being killed by global warming every year and the country's big complaint is that gas is too fucking expensive, that they can't burn enough gas to heat the atmosphere to kill themselves faster

nothing has gotten better in my lifetime, literally everything's gotten worse, even the insects are dying off in droves, the only hope for us now is that this civilization collapses before it kills us all

In the midst of catastrophic ecological collapse and mass extinction, in a civilization fueled by mass murder and more technologically capable of such than at any point in history, the need to dwell on "the positive" is just a demand to ignore every screaming injustice, to cling to scraps of comfort

watching everyone in tech stumble over themselves to Both Sides Bad the ai debacle lately has been interesting . "the pro- and anti- sides need to come to a compromise" idk man i don't think that's how it is. they should just shut down all the llms and throw the companies in the trash. no compromise

Reminder: during the most riotous parts of the George Floyd Uprising the movement was at its most popular, with the destroying of the 3rd precinct polling much higher than either presidential candidate, and it was only after months and years of revision that ppl talk like they werent

Bears, whales, sea turtles, albatrosses, shearwaters. All documented dying from our garbage. We throw things away. But there is no away. Global plastic waste projected to nearly triple by 2060, creating an increasingly dangerous world for everything.
