@JoBlakely

and not one but several people posted here just yesterday while this was happening that higher oil prices would somehow "save" the world -- all higher oil prices ever do & ever will do is fuel more drilling because the product becomes too valuable to leave in the f'n ground

let oil prices drop to near zero as they did during the pandemic... THAT did more to clean the environment in a short time than decades of price shocks...

SIGH

US has voted to drive a whale (only 50 left) to extinction in Gulf of Mexico for oil.

not just a species but an ecosystem

the oil industry owners do not care about the Gulf of Mexico or Louisiana, they just take but they all live somewhere else -- as I would have hoped the world had learned after the BP Oil spill

they don't care if we live or die or if we have a bird in the sky or a fish in the water

the Endangered Species Act is immensely popular among the people, it brought back the Bald Eagle & the Brown Pelican but outsiders do not care

@Brad_Rosenheim

They are eradicating a species for a fuel that is itself almost extinct.

@JoBlakely As I told my class during a lecture on the Geologic history of the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, this abandonment of the Endangered Species Act allows more exploration for oil, not production of oil. It is utterly stupid and indefensible, and most press outlets are missing that point.

I think this image of a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) perched among budding branches pairs beautifully with the spirit of the Easter season.

If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.

The main thing I learned from the Claude Code leak is that they plan to go out of business before anyone has to maintain it

@JoBlakely

that's hilarious

The medical scams and grift in USA is crazy. This one was really started by Cankles the Demented.

(FYI this company apparently has no connection to Musk)
