We grow enough food to feed every human we just divert most of it to feed animals so that some people can eat meat, eggs and dairy. It takes a lot of food to feed an animal… it’s not sustainable.

It's back now. It must've realised that Western Australia was still in Australia despite being 5,000-something kilometres away. 🤣

In hot dry places, that coverage has allowed respite for plants and animals. They have reversed desertification. We find farmers here are loving them. They condense water at night and the run off creates lines of grass that keep animals fed through summers and provide an 2nd income for farmers.

The US already had an agreement with Iran. They just wasted ammunition, lives, resources, upset the world, renegotiated a worse deal, and now expects a pat on the back like a toddler who smashed his toys but picked up the pieces. 'The Art of the Deal' was obviously ghost written. Friggen Man-babies!

The thing is the US already had an agreement with Iran... then Trump blew it to hell, and is now attempting to negotiate a lesser deal. That's the Art of the Deal apparently! Everything he touches turns to bankruptcy.

Are you SURE you're okay with dairy. Most adults at some point are not. We lose the ability to deal with breast milk as we age like every other animal.

Governments of the world: Cut ties with Palantir and Peter Thiel now
Palantir - the evil tech giant backed by billionaire Peter Thiel - just dropped a 22-point manifesto that has the internet exploding in outrage. It calls for AI to decide who dies in war. It declares

My next library is 150kms away and they don't do interlibrary loans anymore. The transport cost is too much since the US borked the fuel deliveries in some random war Israel told them to do.

I have broken my socials. I watched dumb stuff - people talking to spirit boxes which are just dodgy toys and then I ended up on the Right Wing side of the internet, so I Not Interested a pile of things, banned the words US and America and now I'm just over it. The RW internet broke me.

It’s Earth Day! Earth Overshoot Day this year is likely to fall on June 5 … the day we burn through more resources than the planet can regenerate in a year. Humans are living unsustainable lives. Australia overshot on March 23! It’s us! Look up! Take action. #earthday #sustainability

Notice how nearly everyone adds their country to their profile… except the US. We should be confused not them. They only have to check a profile.

Psst! some of the Earthlings already woke up in tomorrow. There’s less respect and unity. AI bots are feeding so many fake vids we’re about to turn the internet off, and we can’t tell who the bad guys are anymore. Bullies bullying bullies it seems like. Fighting over outdated fuel sources? Idiots.

He was going for Cuba the moment he took Venezuela... he'll pick off all of South America one by one then turn his sights on North America and Greenland. And he won't let another election happen until it's done so why's everyone just sitting on their hands?

He's done it now. Switzerland provide 50M US women with Estradiol... 50M angry menopausal women should be enough to take out Trump, his ICE goons and the whole damn Republican Party!

Australia's should just be, 'swallow this fly.' You know you're gonna do it one day soon anyway. Although having sat the citizenship test, it does contain a lot of great anti-racism and anti-bigotted stuff which most of our politicians need to learn.

I've read 2. That's just the Japanese style of writing. You see it in manga dialogue too. They like repetition. They're a culture who like to know with certainty. Unlike the UK/Aus where you're asked to between the lines. Where things like, 'Yeah righto, mate,' is not right nor friendly.

I made seitan from vital wheat gluten the other day. It was so easy and tasty! Never eaten so well since I learned to cook whole food vegan. Sauces where you just chuck bundles of herbs or a whole capsicum in! No more oils and emulsifiers. So good.

Then I think, in a consumerist society surely the fact that solar panel power generation and fermented dairy is now cheaper than trad options surely they'll be dragged by the force of consumerism into the future.

Not Auckland. NZ is currently suffering under a Right Wing govt. Aus yo-yos between slightly right and full on Nut Job Right. Need a neutral zone. I sometimes think the Republicans are dragging the US backwards but then private companies set up huge solar farms in Texas or dairy fermentation plants.
