why does political instability in the US create a gold mining craze in the Amazon rainforest?

I don’t just want Seth Moulton to lose. I want him to be embarrassed by how badly he loses. He has done nothing but waste the people of Massachusetts’ time, money, and attention by running a slimy campaign. This kind of behavior should result in embarrassment.

It’s actually kinda crazy to be so unlikeable that a famous Boston sports anchor will tell people not to vote for you

Reporter Mike Lynch shares a story about meeting Seth Moulton at Logan while in a wheelchair: I said." hi SETH, how are you?! He stared into my eyes and never said a word but gave me a look that I interpreted it as how dare you address me? I was embarrassed. I was humiliated and I was a tad angry.”
Facebook post

I am voting for Ed Markey and there is something you should know about my experience with SETH Moulton.
Last January I was at Logan Airport going through the security line. I was in a wheelchair and was being pushed by a TSA member. As our line was zigzagging, I noticed Congressman Seth Moulton behind me. As we passed, I said." hi SETH, how are you?! He stared into my eyes and never said a word but gave me a look that I interpreted it as how dare you address me? I was embarrassed. I was humiliated and I was a tad angry. We passed each other again, and I said." have a nice day congressman.! he stared at me again said nothing and then started looking at his phone. I haven't been able to get that experience out of my head.
But that is not why I will vote for Ed Markey!

Kinda funny how Seth Moulton has made so much money in defense-linked start ups while sitting on the House Armed Services Committee. Not funny haha. Funny weird…..

The thing about Seth Moulton is that there is not a thing he actually believes. The man will say whatever he *thinks* will get him votes. That's why he's suddenly on the abolish ICE train now that he's running for Senate. All of this makes him very susceptible to these sorts of moral panics.

Since Congressman Seth Moulton keeps falling for manufactured right wing moral panics…. I just have to assume he’s not very bright.

unless you’re trying to be really intense about it, it usually works like this: you train with the PT maybe like 1-2x per week but they make you a workout plan that you follow other days of the week. they help create your plan and teach you how to understand/execute it

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.

I don't really believe that AI will become conscious anytime soon but I do believe that humans constantly find new ways to exert their dominance over literally everything. It's from this op-ed btw: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

It's already so weird that the people obsessed with creating all-purpose AI to be their personal slave are also obsessed with said personal slave being conscious of its enslavement. But explicitly arguing that it'll be conscious but that shouldn't affect how you treat it is actually evil.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

Update: the Guardian has added two paragraphs addressing animal agriculture's role in driving soy production. I can't find a note regarding the edit on the article. I like the guardian (and am a subscriber) but that was an interesting choice. The original archived version: archive.ph/kR7GV

Abbie Richards @abbierichards.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
but if the conversation has become "well if they werent plowing that land for soy, they'd be doing it for something else" then you're in a mental justification space that is fully shut down and i can't have an honest conversation with you about it.

Abbie Richards @abbierichards.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
but the story is specifically about the economic drive for soy which is driven by the incentive to produce animal feed. listen, i can recognize cognitive dissonance when i see it. i get that you're a small animal agriculture business so you feel attacked. but im concerned with big ag. not you.

Ah ya that's a common myth/justification for the system but the value of the oil vs the meal flip back and forth. Plenty of the time, the meal is actually valued significantly higher than the oil. The idea that the meal is just some "waste" product is a myth southernagtoday.org/2021/10/25/w...

Abbie Richards @abbierichards.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
would you say that it is correct to say that "70-80% of the global soybean supply becomes animal feed" ?

Abbie Richards @abbierichards.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
so then we entirely agree on the numbers?? you're just arguing that the primary driver is to create soybean oil? and not animal feed?
