Defund golf courses.

Golf courses in America use around 30.5× more water than all data centres combined.

Golf courses: ~531bn gallons/year.

Data centres: ~17.4bn gallons/year.

The e/acc crowd says we can't regulate AI because it would slow the coming techno-utopia.

But look at what else prominent e/acc voices mock or oppose: basic child-safety rules, anti-malarial bed nets, and now efforts to curb factory farming.

Their techno-utopia is apparently offshore casinos for humans, factory farms for animals, and strip mines turning the rest of the galaxy into compute.

Just an astonishingly bleak vision of the future.

Why does the pork industry need the Save Our Bacon Act? Because without it, states will force it to make good on its promises to ditch gestation crates.

In 2011, Smithfield — the largest US pork producer — promised to phase out gestation crates within six years. Its CEO said customers didn't like the crates 'and we've heard them loud and clear.'

But 15 years later, most Smithfield contract farms still keep sows crated for their entire lives.

Smithfield's company-owned farms claim to use 'group housing,' but even those sows spend roughly half their lives in crates.

The industry made its promises. It broke them. Now it wants a law to make sure no state can hold it accountable.

Today Trump's USDA nominee, Brooke Rollins, told Congress that she will force states to allow the sale of pork from crated pigs.

States banned these sales to stop animal cruelty. The conservative Supreme Court upheld those bans.

Only pork industry lobbyists want this change.

What good is a healthy business if you don't have a healthy body and mind to enjoy it?

Take care of yourself.

someday eating meat is going to get cancelled, and we are going to look back upon it with horror.

we have a collective continual duty to find our way to better morals, and to allow some space for that process.

American nurse says half of her patients are Israeli citizens. According to her, if the required treatment isn't available in Israel (or they can receive better care in the US), they may fly to the US and receive the treatment in a US hospital (all paid for by the state).
This includes organ transplants FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS.

She has that she has a "very high suspicion" that the Israelis are being "fast tracked" on the wait list for organ transplants.

In one specific case, an Israeli had been in the US for less than a week, bud had someone been able to get a double heart and lung transplant.

This is why people are right to be skeptical when corporations are out here virtue signaling. Pay attention.

At Neuschwanstein, there was a rescue of multiple people from a helicopter and one was taken out in handcuffs, seemingly after they fell from a cliff and climbed over railings.

and, as a little experiment, I did one with just spikes - no land. I think this makes it easier to see some places - e.g. check out New Zealand or Hawaii, or even Reykjavík if you look closely.
