@co3blue @OrevaZSN @CathyHeyworth Just goes to show that hate is taught.

My very innocent, uneducated grandma went from Massachusetts to Kentucky to help out my Mom with her newborn in 1955. She had never seen segregated water fountains before. She asked my mother if she had ever tried “that colored water”, as if it was something exotic that they had in the South.

“People used to be tough.” Your grandparents refused to share a water fountain with Black people.

@ExtinguishEvil @WayneRocks3 @TNOQuoProQuid It's a matter of scale and harm. Outdoor housecats kill about 4,000x as many birds as wind turbines annually. Cars and office buildings kill hundreds of millions. I think ~200,000 human-caused bird deaths are acceptable for huge amounts of renewable power.

@WayneRocks3 @TNOQuoProQuid See this is the problem with liberals. They only are against whatever their brainwashing tells them. It tells them oil is evil, but don’t even bat and eye when windmills cause harmful noise around sea creatures, fiberglass in the ocean, a destroyed sea line or if birds get killed

i consider donald trump to be kind of an antichrist figure who rejects humanity’s obligations to act as responsible stewards of the earth and all God’s creation

The fact that he is so good at this really puts into perspective how cartoonishly evil the average politician is

@panonse @GenrlJackRipper @marlene4719 This is only one single method. There's molten salt, compressed air, flywheels, and just normal batteries. There are a bunch of ways to store solar power during production surplus and release it when the sun goes down.

@GenrlJackRipper @marlene4719 So you'll need dams big enough to power every city and many additional solar panels to power them? How much will that cost and how much land and water will it need? Water also tends to evaporate in hot climates so that will need to be factored in.

Proof positive that Trump’s ass kissers must always give the same absurd answers that imbecile Trump would give. Bergum: “When the sun goes down, solar panels produce zero electricity. The whole machine doesn’t work.” Rep Huffman: “I request to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is not aware of. It’s a battery.

The Trump administration plans to remove regulations on ethylene oxide, allowing 8 tons of carcinogenic gas to be released in low-income neighborhoods.

@Konverter22 @OrevaZSN Water vapor doesn't exit or enter the system. There's always a fixed amount on Earth. By digging up and burning previously sequestered hydrocarbons, we are adding carbon dioxide to the carbon cycle where it did not exist before. So it's a variable volume where water vapor is not.

we have been LIED to about this for decades - Milankovitch Cycles, weakened magnetosphere, Volcanoes and other tectonic plate movement, shifting magnetic north, solar maximums and minimums ALL have more influence on Earths climate than carbon dioxide or methane, both of which are TRACE gases in the grand scheme of Earth’s atmosphere. Our climate system is way more complex than the IPCC computer modelling, which is itself flawed. Carbon dioxide does not drive Earth’s climate. It may have an ‘effect’ as a ‘green house gas’ but it is NOT even as powerful a ‘greenhouse gas’ as WATER vapour. So how can carbon dioxide alone possibly be driving Earth’s climate? The short answer is that it can’t. There are MANY reasons for more extreme weather or unpredictable weather patterns. MANY. MANY. reasons, some I have listed above and some are entirely man made and even sit within military budget projects.

I don’t think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.

@EsqAndTwins @OrevaZSN Literally zero reputable scientists ever said "the world is ending" in a decade. There have been plenty of inaccurate projections, like some of Gore's ice cap and sea rise claims, but anthropogenic climate change is a scientific fact that is already leading to noticeable harm.

@OrevaZSN Is global warming real, is it not real, I don’t know. What I do know is my entire life I’ve been told the world is ending in 10 years and we are still here.

the tech world has genuinely not grappled with how many people despise them and what they make

@BowHoangDa @AntonChigu80801 @idobadtakes Yes. No one is denying riots happened, as they very obviously did. We're talking about how obnoxious it is that huge numbers of right-wingers pretend massive portions of American cities (read: "half the country") were burned down, which is a ridiculous lie.

@vector13 @AntonChigu80801 @idobadtakes Billions of dollar in damage and dozen of people dead are fine because somebody made a hyperbolic statement or something.

If you don’t know any conservatives you might think this is a figure of speech But no, my grandparents actually do think that every major city in the US burned to the ground and had vast swaths of no-go zones

@AntonChigu80801 @idobadtakes Pictured: literally the entire city of Minneapolis. I think I can see LA too!

@LouisiaNFT @idobadtakes "no-go zones" as in places reduced to ash by fire, or with constant protestor/police engagement. We're not talking about shifty neighborhoods.

@idobadtakes Most big cities, if not all, have neighborhoods that I promise you that you would not go to

@King_Crackers @idobadtakes What I've learned is that words are just tools to them, and, like a hammer, hold no intrinsic meaning. I've had people tell me both that they're "obviously" just exaggerating, AND that I must not actually live in my city because a lot of it burned down and I should know that.

@idobadtakes I argued with one of those people for days a couple years ago and the one thing I have learned is that when they say "burned to the ground" they either mean it literally or not literally depending on what they think favors them

@Globalcitizn1 @hearinladotcom No, it should come directly out of cops' pension funds. They, as individuals and agencies answer to practically no one in cases like these. Qualified immunity and victim compensation coming from taxpayer funds means they have no incentive to do their jobs correctly.

@hearinladotcom This is really sad. The city should automatically pay some kind of a compensation in such cases.

If you remember: the cops went upstairs and shot into a crowded store. One of the bullets struck and killed an innocent 14 year old who was hiding from the mayhem in a dressing room. The jury probably concluded that bc the cop couldn’t see her, her death was an accident. But others have argued it was reckless to go guns blazing into a store. When cops shot into the crowded Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake killing its manger Mely (hearinla.substack.com/p/trader-joes-…) in a similarly reckless way, her family was awarded millions. Would be interesting to see why these two had such different outcomes.

Trump posts a pic of Obamas as apes. MAGA: 😂😂😂 Trump: I'm glad Rob Reiner is dead! MAGA: 👏 👏 👏 Trump: Rob Mueller is dead. Good! He deserved it. MAGA: 🤣🥳 🇺🇸 Mark Hamill posts a pic of Trump in the ground. MAGA: This violent rhetoric must end!! Dems are crazy! Waaah!

@Mug_of_Glop @snmrrw It's so clear how what actually matters to him is that it's the "only one in the world." It literally looks like a Happy Meal toy but the pure exclusivity is making him weep. Fucking pathetic. The first Traska I ever bought with my own hard-earned money has more intrinsic value.

@snmrrw I guess it makes sense, though. This guy's taste in watches really seems to begin and end with bullshit hype watches that are loud markers of pure wealth rather than any sort of real haute horology. Dude's not buying any sort of JLC grand complication or other understated piece.

here's a video of this guy crying over a watch
