See? This is why I'm a so called "climate doomer."

  1. Because fixing the climate requires reducing anti-Black racism, and letting Black folk in the US vote, but the US just does not want to do that. There is no viable path to making progress on climate change without reducing anti-Black racism. None.

  2. Because so many people will see headlines like this, and not even recognize the problem with it. China is doing the right thing! But we frame that as a negative.

Vietnam is still a very important trade route for China, most of the stuff saves 2 days on the water going to bejing by cutting to the edge of through water. This is very touchy, again.

@timo21 @mekkaokereke @philip_cardella "June 20 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said he wanted to build a "reliable security architecture" in the Asia-Pacific region during a state visit to Vietnam on Thursday, part of a trip to Asia seen as show of defiance to the West.
A day after signing a mutual defence agreement with North Korea, Putin received a 21-gun salute at a military ceremony in Vietnam, was embraced by two of its Communist leaders and lavishly praised by one of them"

Oh look.

Via Aaron Fritschner:

Justice says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."

Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses

    @GottaLaff While their kids were in private school that was in session at the time, this is not a consequential part of the story. Whether or not a conflict of interest bias is retaliatory is not an excuse for not recusing when there is a clear conflict.

    "Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing.

    'Phonemic paraphasias' —the substitution of non-words for words that sound similar—are not normally seen until a patient enters the moderate to severe stages of Alzheimer’s.

    Some examples of Trump’s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes 'benefishes.' Renovations become 'renoversh.' Pivotal became 'pivobal.'"

    @otownKim Thank you for what you do, I'm glad your loans were discharged.
    Just got back from a trip to Austria for work. Higher education there is free. It made me jealous. You should have been here 25 years ago.
