Part of why the discourse around Israel is borked is that the US is so invested in not admitting the ways we (where by "we" I mean weapons / oil manufacturers and the politicians they pay, not really anyone else) directly and delightedly benefit from having Israel run trampling around the region.

Do you think there are people in Israel who support this? If so, who brought about this extremist majority? Who killed Rabin? Who spits on church priests in Jerusalem day and night?

If you are a white American and especially a Christian, it’s time to speak out against Israel.

GenX was raised on this propaganda and we need to make our voices heard.

And we stand with our Jewish friends who are also speaking out against the Israeli government.

Tesla makes up less than 2%.

“King tides provide insightful data into what the regular high tide will look like in years to come as sea levels continue to rise…
Climate change is playing a big role in this shift”

By 2100, median sea level on the CA coast is expected to rise by as much as 6.6 feet.

If we’re lucky.

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.
A few important points here

- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false

- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.

They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.

Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.

What a scandal.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
