I can’t believe that having a COP in another petrostate isn’t going to be uplifting. It even did a genocide recently up there in Nagorno-Karabakh and then bragged about how the depopulated area was so environmentally friendly. Anyways, fuck Azerbaijan.

He is probably too busy destroying the property of his poorest constituents for anything else.

No shit

Margaret Killjoy is just a joy to read. Her hook for this article, an anecdote about arguing with a pedant on the train, is just such a good way to introduce the article.

The US at least already has enough nuclear to handle base loads when solar and wind are unavailable. Nukes in some contexts are needed, but I believe we have 30% or so nukes in the US. Diverting resources to new nukes is a waste when we could be making carbon fuels unprofitable soon by investing in solar and wind.

The problem is that none of these designs have ever been used to power the grid. Every nuclear project in the recent past has blown by cost and time estimates. Wind and solar are not only cheaper than nukes, they can also be installed much quicker and predictably. Nukes have a place, but we need clean energy now.

Right? Just off the top of my head, I listen to podcasts on the Channel Zero Network of Anarchist Podcasts. Started at Margaret Killjoys “Live the the world is dying” and now, due to ads on the network for other shows, I listen to about a half dozen shows on the network religiously. That seems like an organization that is trying to grow, and doing it successfully.

The shitty thing about this is that the businesses will probably be fine. This sort of heat causes chronic dehydration which won’t kill their workers immediately.

But it will kill them through destroying their kidneys and the like. But I’m sure these psychopaths will think they will just be able to hire some other poor person to fill the spot.

I don’t know who this is, but good journalists don’t really need to be experts in the field they are covering. This is a very rare thing, but it happens.

For instance, the people at the podcast ScienceVs cover many things very well. I don’t think the host even has an advanced degree. There is at least one PhD on staff.

Reagan was a giant fucking piece of shit.

What a fascist fuck. He doesn’t want to give aid to a democracy being invaded by his fascist friend. So he add riders that are bs.

I was happy that I had seen an April Fools joke yet today. Was. 🤣
