i'm so tired of watching humans burn one another and drag the rest of this world down with them

i don't think i like the way this is headed.
everything has to be sold to a bigger bidder, everything has to be coopted and repackaged and further removed from artistry and enjoyment.

CJ Stevens - MetaphysiologyThe content of our #consciousness depends crucially upon inhibitory processes through which selection and elimination can occur. More and more research (some of my own included) shows that physiological age-related #memory decline is not so much an issue of increasing but in fact *decreasing* forgetting (i.e. inhibitory "elimination"). Without directed inhibition, discrete memories have difficulty arriving to "consciousness" due to excess noise from overlap with other memories. ⬇️

🦆@TerryHancock @futurebird @aprilfollies @zzzeek I am a rural Democrat in the US. We literally have to walk past maga hats holding rifles to enter the voting place.

No, they aren’t allowed to ask, and no, I don’t have to answer. But if there was any trouble started, I don’t have a gun, and the police aren’t going to protect me.
This is how bad the pearl-clutching is on the right. They see it as their sworn duty to stop women, minorities, gays, trans, anyone but them from having any rights.

Peter GleickIncredible WSJ article on Exxon's efforts to prevent action on #climate change.
“If a worldwide consensus emerges that action is needed to mitigate against Greenhouse gas effects, substantial negative impacts on Exxon could occur,” wrote Sprow [Exxon's head of Research]. “Any additional R&D efforts within Corporate Research on Greenhouse should have two primary purposes: 1. Protect the value of our resources (oil, gas, coal). 2. Preserve Exxon’s business options.”
MongabayA new partnership between NASA and researchers is measuring the impact of beavers reintroduced to landscapes in Idaho.
Beavers are one of the world’s most powerful ecosystem engineers, building new habitats by slowing water flow and reducing flooding, while also boosting biodiversity.

NASA satellites reveal restoration power of beavers
If humans went extinct tomorrow, who would rule the world? Beavers. Well, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. These tree-felling, water-slowing, wetland-creating rodent engineers have a massive impact wherever they live. Indeed, when it comes to their power over water flow, Cory Mosby says, “I’m not aware of another species that does this (save humans) […]
