Truly the point of it all 🙏🏼
Y'all the Berditchever is saying that the point is not whether or not one identifies as religious or whatever, but that the whole point of everything is

HOW

WE

TREAT

OTHER

HUMAN

BEINGS

and if you say you love God but treat people like garbage, he's calling you on it.
the point of it all
we serve God when we care for one another

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

NEW: Here is the alleged video from Jonathan Ross's cell phone synched with the main eyewitness video we've all seen. As you can see it synchs perfectly. I don't think any internal cuts were made.

I have left audio for both videos in this synch so that you can hear them aligned.

Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
Why Donald Trump Wants Greenland (and Everything Else)
There’s no Trump Doctrine, just a map of the world that the President wants to write his name on in big gold letters.

Worth remembering that in 1952, Chaplin - for 40 years maybe the most famous man in the world - had his visa revoked as he sailed for Europe. J. Edgar Hoover didn't like that he was a vaguely left-wing pacifist who slept around. He never really got over it. His creativity didn't.
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Welcome to the American petrostate

The U.S. is now a failed Democratic state. With the reelection of Donald Trump..the U.S. is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats & fossil fuel interests.

Welcome to the American petrostate
I’ve long said that the obstacles to stabilizing warming below catastrophic levels aren’t physical or technological; they are entirely political in nature, and political obstacles can be overcome. But...

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.

On the back of the photograph she wrote:

“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.

‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”

The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”

But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.
