The latest from the Great Leap Boerward…
A screenshot that reads “In a diplomatic cable sent July 8, embassy Charge d'Affairs David Greene asked whether the embassy could process claims from other minority groups claiming race-based discrimination such as “coloured" South Africans who speak Afrikaans. In South Africa the term coloured refers to mixed-raced people, a classification created by the apartheid regime still in use today. The answer came back days later in an email from Spencer Chretien, the highest-ranking official in the State Department's refugee and migration bureau, saying the program is intended for white people.”

Reading about how the Canadian forests now pumping fine particulate matter into the air used to provide wood pulp for mid century newspapers. So even if you shut the consent manufacturing factories down, the trees get rebranded as carbon offsets & weaponized into airborne toxic events. Cool :)
