Today’s food culture is experiencing a tectonic shift as the rebellious stakeholders of our modern food movement — farmers, independent retailers, nutritionists, educators, chefs and ever-more-informed eaters — upend the marketplace. https://t.co/YmDTNT652K

Adapt or perish?

[Peter🌲Brannen @PeterBrannen1]

I'm a broken record but it really is eerie seeing global geochemical cycles go haywire in exact same way they do during worst mass extinctions in earth history: big negative carbon isotope excursions, falling ocean pH, rapid warming & spreading ocean anoxia. We should prob stop

Compassion and concern every day

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Compassion and concern for others are the key to human survival. People with no interest in religion sometimes disregard qualities like patience and compassion, which they associate with religious practice. In fact, they are relevant to anyone who wishes to live a happy life.

I’m reading this over and over again to give me the courage and confidence to stand up w/ my fellow brothers and sisters (especially) and fight the good fight against the wrong-doing of our “elected” officials that think they can control/coerse/restrict precious rights for women

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If you restrain from wrong-doing, people will see you as a friend and you’ll be happy. When people are powerful and wealthy, but dishonest, people don’t like them, even if they don’t show it to their faces. If you do good, you’ll have friends and when you’re gone you’ll be missed

Wow, this is both truly remarkable, and unbearably truthful. If you don’t know the name Greta Thunberg, you do now, or will soon. Striking daily. Speaking truthfully. Fighting pragmatically....to protect the planet

The question is, will more adults stand with her. #climatestrike

We want to learn without fearing for our lives.

There seems to be some confusion about whether algorithms—which are created by people—can have racial or gender bias. The answer is yes, yes they can. Let’s break it down. 1/

"Climate change is not the concern of just one or two nations. It is an issue that affects the whole of humanity and every living being on this earth." (From HHDL's Message to Delegates to the COP24 UN Climate Conference https://t.co/GEbUIOEPIl)

@stevomophone Yes. Yes. Yes. 🙏

This grand internet experiment is proving that we don’t know when to stop if we receive validation.

"I have zero question in my mind that the Crown Prince MBS ordered the killing, monitored the killing, knew exactly what was happening. Planned it in advanced. If he was in front of a jury he would be convicted in 30 minutes. Guilty," Corker said. https://t.co/TwhHH1UhGO

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

Absolute madness: the British government wants companies to poison their customers' private conversations by secretly adding the government as a third party, meaning anyone on your friend list would become "your friend plus a spy." No company-mediated identity could be trusted.

Sending my love and good energy out to all those affected by the recent fires and shots fired in California, and around the world. Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight. This video is for you.✌️❤️

Human beings are social animals. What brings us together is love and affection—anger drives us apart. Just as we employ physical hygiene to protect our health, we need emotional hygiene, the means to tackle our destructive emotions, if we are to achieve peace of mind.
