You can never go wrong if you treat an unhealthy preoccupation with IQ / general intelligence as a measurable, ordinal quality as a massive intellectual and ethical red flag

The thing is, while they're not right about a lot of things, vegans are actually correct that our industrial food system is wildly exploitative and unsustainable. But their weird black and white thinking helps keep better practices from being widely adopted.

Forty years ago the US eradicated a flesh-eating parasite that targeted livestock with the help of science, government funding, and international cooperation. Now the threat is returning and the country's defenses are down. (Yes, it's an allegory for measles.) www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

Maybe you prefer sitting in front of a screen all day having most of the product of your labour going towards billionaires' yachts and a militarized police state over working with your hands to plant or build things that help your community, but I've done both and I know which I prefer

Winding it down for the night but lol, the Nikkei is currently +6.3% in Tokyo with 10y JGB yields up 12.6 bps and 10y ACGB yields up more than 15 bps. Europe is going to be mighty confused when they roll out of bed in a few hours.

Meanwhile, Reuters is blaming “a CNBC report” in its official copy. I can tell you that’s false. CNBC on air didn’t say one word about this until markets had rallied into positive territory and they were initially baffled about it. Flippin chaos out there. www.reuters.com/markets/us/f...

April 7 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes fell back into the red in choppy trade on Monday after CNBC reported White House officials were not aware of U.S.
President Donald Trump considering a 90-day pause in tariffs for all countries except China.
The White House denial came after stocks rose on a CNBC report about Trump considering a tariff pause.

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

most men simply cannot handle the cutthroat world of email jobs. it requires a level of discipline and self control they're not emotionally equipped for. i work in an email job environment that's 80%+ women (heaven) and each & every man still around is tough as nails, by which i mean cool + normal

mostly yes but i will go to bat every day for the Hudson Valley hippie farmers who are doing it (also applied to do part-time farming work for a local nonprofit’s organic farm because i want to Live in The World and learn about plants & lift heavy things & go outside, some of us crave this!!)

like maybe some of us are just built for farm chores?? chickens smell horrible but so do the streets of NYC in summer? this is not to say it’s easy! but the Hudson Valley is full of small-farming hippies / people who care deeply about sustainability & regional food systems and i think that rules

alexandra scaggs @scaggs.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

I agree! And like obviously “subsistence farming is easy and cool” is very stupid But i don’t want to make fun of people for being interested!! how else will they find out?! Lots of people are so alienated from their food sources that they’re scared to even try to learn about it

110

alexandra scaggs @scaggs.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

the original post they’re QTing is stupid (subsistence farming obv not great!) but sorry, the “no one wants to do farm chores” thing sounds like a personal thing? like. it’s fine to not like that work. but how do we build resilient & sustainable food systems without local smallhold farmers??
