The promised land, the golden age, "true abundance", it's always just twenty years away... Don't worry about the tumultuous in-between, it will be worth it! In twenty years.... twenty years....... just twenty years away... 🎶🎵
Bill Gates says the next 20 years will be "as tumultuous a period as there's been in human history." bit.ly/3UGwBjM

A few bowhead whales born around 1815 might still be alive. They were in their 30s when they first saw a commercial whaling ship; in their 60s when they first heard a propellor; over 100 the first time they heard sonar. I wonder if they remember the silent ocean.

“Left-YIMBYism” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen people talk themselves into. Like yeah, I’m a socialist except in the case of housing where I believe in supply-side economics and deregulation. Let’s bulldoze some section 8 housing and sell it to developers

I think he's right to be honest. We shouldn't debate it publicly. We should dice him up and feed him to the wolves whose home he destroyed without a prior debate.

Every time I see another poxy AI Video, or someone asking AI what they'd look like as a Badger, I can't believe this is what we've chosen to destroy our Trees, Lakes, Nature & humanity for.
A speed Run to extinction instead.
JUST IN: Google forced to halt work in Finland after illegally clearing 250,000 trees for a new data center, according to the Guardian.
Every tree that occupied the 815-acre site just a few months ago is now gone.
The Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority (LVV) has ordered Google to stop work on the Muhos and Otanmäki sites after it cut down the trees before the environmental impact assessment was completed.
Google’s Finland manager, Antti Järvinen, has apologized but says they were acting on "the best understanding we had of the legislation at the time."
Muhos and Otanmäki are a $17 billion Google AI project.
President Trump has criticized Google for taking the projects overseas instead of investing in the United States.

Yeah everyone who was involved needs to go to jail forever. When nazi soldiers were tried in court, “following orders” was not an accepted defense.

Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, should be in prison until the end of his days. Nothing less.

Deadliest (heatwave) summer on record in Europe. Almost no news about it.
Deniers: "Climate change isn't real."
The heat: kills more than 50,000 people in Europe in a single summer.
The study: blames human-caused climate change for most of it.
The politicians: "Let's drill more gas!"
Deniers, fossil fuel profiteers, the politicians who sold us out, and the media that keeps burying it....
This one's on you 🤬

It is absolutely no coincidence that they went after the most water rich and self sustaining country in the world. No where is fucking safe from these monsters.

Kind of crazy that our miraculous planet, one modulated by the very flow of carbon between different reservoirs (the mantle, atmosphere, oceans, life, and the crust) is currently undergoing one of the most profound derangements of its carbon cycle in hundreds of millions of years
