@deadwronghist People think that pompous git is a great writer because of the influence of his writing, but they denigrate the writers and content of the Bible which is far more influential and a more massive achievement for any of the writers than Marx’s abysmal navel-gazing dreck. IMHO

Entrapment: it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!

@CollinRugg Accountability is kryptonite to them. “Director” doesn’t direct, doesn’t develop the materials, doesn’t set the goals, doesn’t set the culture or produce the merchandise.

“ Get more people from the global south into positions of power…“

Is it just me or does that sound like a foreign takeover of our government?

[Jared Taylor @RealJarTaylor]

Melat Kiros, born in Ethiopia. She will represent Denver in Congress because she won the Dem primary in June; Republicans always lose there.

She says America has looted the “Global South,” and Congress needs more people like her to change the world order to force us to pay up.

Literally nobody gives a shit about a white guy, outside of gaslighting him so he doesn’t blame the responsible parties.

What do you notice about the speakers here? Any common characteristics? What characteristics are not represented?

Segregation is also freedom of association.

@RedPillRabbit So the thing that never happens is happening again and it’s a good thing?

@aimeeterese Glory to God! Lord have mercy on us and save us.

@clairlemon Is art meaningful?

If so, its meaning derives not from a casting choice, nor from each interpretation (Apple appears red to me).

Interpretation requires universals (redness must predate and persist independently of any object to know it’s red). Universals are not petty gripes.

It’s amazing how something which profoundly changes the material conditions of so many can actually be nobody’s fault, despite there being so many involved and responsible beneficiaries.

@jasonccarney99 @adamscrabble @grok @grok you know exactly when it was made, was it a few years ago now? I can’t be bothered to google

@thestustustudio If exploitation and domination are inherent in positions of power, as she says, then the liberation she speaks of is also inherently an exercise in exploitation and domination.

So the hammer still smashes your face, but the left hand is holding it now, because of fairness.

How is the entirety of government not required by law to be on unedited 24/7 multicast livestreams with 360° bodycams?

The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012.

The crime they do: not reading the paper.

The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all.

Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline.

Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back.

So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units.

- Pistachios: 7,602
- Almonds: 3,816
- Walnuts: 2,451
- Dates: 1,250
- Cashews: 921
- Beef: 550

Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola.

The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of.

The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out.

She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.
