Birds Books Climate. Fix your hearts or die
I sort of wish this was the case because everyone is basically content with doing what we’re doing, but with solar energy. In my mind, if you support trains over cars, density over sprawl, or social housing, you’re a degrowther (laudatory)
half the loudest voices are pushing degrowth, which is probably worse than solar capitalism for the climate

Men are reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, Cradle, and He Who Fights with Monsters
1. Lit publishers are not interested in going to the kinds of conventions and trade shows where male audiences gravitate. They are married to the idea that their competition is female authors/readers/etc. This is BS. Their competition is video games + franchise TV.

DSA Labor Day parties at Gracie would be so cool though
Mamdani won't say whether he plans to live in Gracie Mansion as mayor: "I don’t yet have an answer on where I’m going to be living, but I can tell you where I'm going to be working and that’s City Hall."
He has previously alluded to planning to move into Gracie if elected.

Politics would benefit from more progressive white dude representation. The standard bearers are Lincoln Restler and Scott Weiner, not false chuds

Science writers need to be more aware of species vs subspecies (northern white rhino) and “back from extinction” vs “reintroduced after being extinct in the wild” (Spix’s macaw)

D has everything from Italian to Indonesian. It’s not fair
For the rest of your life, you can only eat food from one of these regions. Which do you choose?

Exactly 1 year ago I presented at an all-day meeting with the CEO of one of China’s largest solar/storage manufacturers about opening a plant in TX or GA, and lol

Moderates moderate for the sake of moderation
The problem centrists have is that their ideology is ~75% an affective one. If you created a firebrand, these people would hate that on principle. Anything that inspires a mass movement is "unserious" in their eyes. It's a cult of inaction for inaction's sake

This is why I go with splendor instead of abundance, because you can have an abundance of anything
if abundance is your word and you do not immediately tell this guy to go fuck himself, you have no right to complain when you are depicted as a right-wing ideological project
Glad to see abundance utterly stripped of any meaning and repurposed by the ghouls on the right. Also the Manhattan Institute is an evil entity and should be blacklisted.

In the vein of undermining car dealerships with direct sales, we should rewild huge tracts of ranch land and ethanol fields by eminent domain. Return the buffalo commons

For sure. Harvesting scallops is like bulldozing an orchard for apples and then not replanting the trees
All things considered, seafood is the most environmentally damaging food type.

It wouldn’t be Sanderson, but this is a fair question
I'm glad I went to WorldCon today because someone just got up to the mic and told George R.R. Martin to his face that he's going to die soon and started to ask whether Brandon Sanderson would finish his books and everyone started to boo.

We need Kaziranga Protocol for every rhino. Anyone looking suspicious in rhino habitat should be shot
After a poaching crisis, Javan rhino numbers have dropped by a third.
Sumatran rhino estimates remain on the edge of extinction.
Still, recent developments provide a little good news: recent births for Javan rhinos and a potential surviving population in southern Sumatra for Sumatran rhinos.

Snakes on a Plane opening night. Everyone yelling the line
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?
During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

If and when we reclaim power, I want revenge parks. I want Buffalo Commons on the ranchland and rewilding of the ethanol fields of Iowa and every undeveloped centimeter of FL given wilderness designation
Trump’s new budget proposal would slash funding for national parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, and trails by nearly 25%, cutting more than $1.2 billion from the $4.8 billion Park Service budget.

Getting your kids into reading and keeping them away from screens is like a cheat code at this point. A simple master of the universe recipe
the fraction of parents reading to their 0-4 year old kids frequently has apparently fallen by 23 POINTS since 2012 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests
Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love
