Kurt Vonnegut explaining to his wife why he’s going out to buy an envelope:

“Oh, she says, well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

“I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I’ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is—we’re here on Earth to fart around.

“And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don’t realize, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it’s like we’re not supposed to dance at all anymore.”

Crops under solar panels can be a win-win, and in dry places, photovoltaic shade can even reduce water use, suggests a recent study. Cherry tomatoes saw a 65% increase in CO₂ uptake, a 65% increase in water-use efficiency, and produced twice as much fruit https://t.co/uDnDawa7lW

@morycua @kashmir_216 I’m a middle class white man in America. I can answer this with a no, but it doesn’t matter because my entire existence is built on the same systemic racism that this country was built upon.
