I came across a quote today that seemed very timely: No one starts a war--or rather, no one in his sense ought to do so--without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by the war and how he intends to conduct it. Carl Von Clausewitz

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

It wasn’t a “joke”. It was a trial balloon, floated repeatedly by Trump, Vance and others. Intelligence assessments view the threat as something to not only be concerned about, but to game out. RW propaganda has pushed this idea before Trump was even back in office. None of this is a “joke”.

Someone said to me “don’t you get used to it though?”

No, you never get used to being sick every day of your life and watching the world pass you by and forget all about you. You wake up every day and just do the best you can and some days that’s not very much but that’s ok.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.
