Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”
These people are SO good: "lied about the election (again)."
Lesson learned. Don't bring facts to a knife fight.
@futurebird I've often wondered if we're living through a "new Carboniferous period" because critters that can digest plastics haven't evolved yet.
I expect over e6-e9 year time scales, polymers will gradually break down into shorter and shorter chains and perhaps high concentrations of them, like landfills, will become oil-field-like natural resource reservoirs for whatever species inhabits our planet at that time.
But hopefully on a much shorter time scale recycling will evolve to the point that mining old landfills will become profitable, allowing us to recover some of these old resources for reuse.
Adam Serwer’s essay “The Cruelty Is the Point” changed the way I inhabit the world. I already had the pieces. I already understood them, sort of. Yet when I read his writing, something clicked for me. I see the world differently after reading it. It’s a piece that is worth rereading now, all the way to its powerful final paragraph: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/the-cruelty-is-the-point/572104/?gift=YexU1QpjGQRNRj0UQX9KySYo41dY00dLj1hik24YwpE (Non-paywalled link, ht @[email protected]: https://archive.is/bZyGQ) 1/2
