I remember driving into work on the Monday morning after the 1992 riots.

The L.A. sky was a black ceiling supported by black smoke pillars from gas station fires.

And wondering if I was making a poor decision ...

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Feel like something's missing in your life? If you are not a millennial and you think that that something might just be insufficient existential dread, attached please find a remedy.

This is the best interview I've taken time for in the past couple of months.

In 2025 the possibility exists that America will achieve the rather dubious distinction of leveling up our game to an average of two mass shooting events daily.

Decades of ignoring this blight on our society doesn't seem to be working.

If only politicians possessed shame huh?

Free Speech? What you should know about big tech manipulating your thought. Chris Hedges interviewing three fired employees from Meta, Microsoft, and Apple. 49 minutes well worth a listen.

Imagine your fate having you born into the largest open air prison on the planet in the middle of a genocide being perpetrated by your occupiers funded by the U.S.A.

Then imagine freezing to death sleeping in a tent before you are a month old.

This happened 5 times in the past week.

Attached is an interview of the civil rights attorney who won the 9.5 billion dollar law suit against Chevron and is currently sponsored by 34 representatives requesting a pardon of President Biden. IMHO it is 40 minutes well spent.https://youtu.be/urTadOGSpOc?si=6C34RL_6kpNg9l04

Dunbar's number (+/- 150) is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.

Just In On Global Warming.

"Antarctic sea ice is melting at an unprecedented rate. A collapse like the one we’re seeing was given just a 1 in 700 billion year chance of happening."

Can you say exponential?

All of our minor problems are about to be put into proper perspective by Gaia.

I'm a musician, but I relate to the world visually. When reading, or even when listening to music I judge the material by the images evoked in my minds eye.

Since starting at Bluesky I am continually struck by the amazing photos on display here. Thx photographers! What an absolute treat.
