One of the many reasons I cancelled my NYT subscriptions: they’re actively supporting the fossil fuel companies exacerbating the climate crisis while helping them do their greenwashing
when we did the most *conservative* accounting of this (using advertising data, because of course they're also not transparent about it), the NYT alone had taken in $20 million from oil and gas companies in just THREE years. it's absolutely wild drilled.media/news/drilled...

Been growing food on a third of an acre for 8 years and can confirm: self-sufficient gardening is really really difficult. We probably grow 10% of the food we consume as a family of 4 and I’ll bet that’s a high estimate.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Cucurbita pepo is one of the oldest domesticated species. Over millennia, it has proved astoundingly versatile.
Just as Brassica oleracea gave us broccoli, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts etc, C. pepo morphed into the pumpkin, zucchini, delicata, pattypan, acorn, yellow squash and more!

Where is the accountability??
I mean, I get there is none anymore. But we seriously need it.
It’s infuriating to have known this was bullshit then, it worked (somehow), and it’s still bullshit now.

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record:
Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed
While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.
