The disasters that preppers prepare for are the disasters that will call upon their skills, like the water chemist who's devoted his life to preparing to help his community recover from a terrorist attack on its water supply; and who, when pressed, has no theory as to why any terrorist would stage such an attack.

Since Trump hijacked the Supreme Court, his backers have achieved many of their policy priorities: legalizing bribery, formalizing forced birth, and - with the *Loper Bright* case, neutering the expert agencies that regulate business:

@jonrog1 A pathology of conservativism is that 'things used to be simple.' No, you used to be a kid. Your parents shielded you from life's complexity. Things are complex because you're an adult now. Conservativism is the desire to be a child.

Pandemics are still defined by the number of infections. Not by the level of morbidity or mortality. Wonderful thread from @arijitchakrav here as to why that is.

Letting a pathogen spread is an invitation to it to continuously mutate, to defeat every defence we might muster.

#IDthought 2: Democracy is the problem capital is always trying to solve. Neoliberalism is the means of solving it.
It uses the power of the state to destroy democratic resistance: sweeping organised labour, protest and meaningful political choice out of the way.

The best antidote to despair is action. We owe it to ourselves, and future generations, to continue to fight for a safe, just and livable planet for all. #PaulHawken #Inspo #ClimateAction #sustainability

It comes out at 1.8% or 1-in-56, which implies a 42% chance that there is someone infectious in a group of 30.

Imagine as a parent having to fight to get food for your child who is dying of hunger: total collapse of civil order. That’s the situation that Israel has created in Gaza. Shame on all of us for allowing this betrayal of humanity.

After such horrific impunity and utter disregard by Israel for international law in #Gaza it's absolutely spine-tingling to watch the South African legal team so methodically lay out the argument for genocide at the @CIJ_ICJ

A historical day. Thank you South Africa @GovernmentZA

It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.
