Meanwhile, these same (cartoonishly villainous) politicians are accelerating climate change for personal gain. What country is cumulatively most responsible for climate catastrophe? It’s certainly not Canada. This chart is from 2021. US = 20%. Canada was around 2.5%. We are responsible. We did this.

The countries with the largest cumulative emissions 1850-2021

Billions of tonnes of CO2 from fossil fuels, cement, land use change and forestry.

(Approximate numbers from chart for 1st 10 countries)
United States 510
China 280
Russia 170
Brazil 110
Indonesia 100
Germany 90
India 80
UK 75
Japan 66
Canada 65

I’ve been dog sitting for a friend w/the sweetest pit bull dog. Brought him to my place & wasn’t sure how he would react to the cottontail rabbits who visit nightly. My boxer dog who passed was harmless but would chase them out of his yard. Titus quietly took a few steps & laid down to watch 2.

Walked to a nearby park where we use the trails. My husband commented on how it was all people who use our parks system. Bonus: We didn’t have to drive, pay, stand in line, deal w/crowds.

One of my favorite things about my home is that it’s located within walking distance of 3 parks. Across the main street from my neighborhood is a dog park with trails leading into a large city park. These are from my walk yesterday evening. Sunflowers everywhere. 🌻

I totally get it. It was the Texas Public Opinion Research Poll from 5/29. Just FYI in case you want to fact check. I view this as promising but it’s Texas so we still need to work our asses off.

Almost a third of Cornyn runoff voters say that they would vote for Talarico over Paxton in November.

Among voters who supported John Cornyn in the Republican Senate runoff, only 44% say they now plan to vote for Ken Paxton in the general election. 30% say they would vote for Talarico and 23% are either undecided or would not vote in the race.

44% Paxton
30% Talarico
3% Libertarian Ted Brown

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that he wants to end Israel’s alliance on US military aid within 10 years, saying his country had “come of age” This “end to support” is US citizens having even less say b/c Israel has full access to our military. It’s essentially a takeover.

Israel is the largest recipient us foreign aid since 1948, of it’s now military, and worth more than 300 billion when adjusted for inflation.

The nature of that support may now be changing. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that he wants to end Israel’s alliance on US military aid within 10 years, saying his country had “come of age”.

Closer cooperation between the two defense industries, rather than cash, would likely fit that goal.

“It would force the United States military to integrate Israeli defense technologies into our own critical military supply chain, giving Israel incredible leverage of America’s own defense priorities.”

“A new section of law in the National Defense Authorization Act would give Israel unprecedented access to American technology. It would force the United States military to integrate Israeli defense technologies into our own critical military supply chain, giving Israel incredible leverage of America’s own defense priorities,” he added in a video posted on social media on Friday.

The thing about this quote is it doesn’t account for people that actively harm w/every day they have on this earth. The world will be better w/out him but every day until then, he’ll cause more harm & the fact that anyone is allowed to do this is infuriating. It’s like if Ted Bundy was POTUS.

60 Minutes is dead. Excerpt from Scott Pelley statement.

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.”

“It’s time to fight back” on the side of fascism. Socialism is a “me first” philosophy. “Illiberal” leftism. I’m sorry, what? Next up: “The young people want livable wages but @ what cost to our benevolent Oligarchs?” Anyone over @ The Economist willing to take credit for this garbage?

Please scroll down, donate, & share! Apparently the human parasite we’ve unleashed on the world is appealing the condition (conservation of the whorl snail) attached to permission to build a TRUMP BALLROOM. How are they going about this fuckery? A 2 word change, a self serving technicality.

The Trump Doonbeg appeal is seeking the change of two words in the condition concerning the vertigo angustior where the words “restore favorable” conservation status would be replaced by “support the” conservation of the snail.

“How long can we remain in denial that 21st Century America is a police state with “Resistance Democrats” as willing partners?” This nurse had a similar awakening to mine a few yrs back & if I’m to be honest, truth was difficult to face. Ty @willbunch.bsky.social for your integrity. It matters.

“I thought [the state police presence] was going to be a good thing,” Norma Bowe — a nurse who returned to Delaney Hall after she’d been pushed to the ground by federal ICE agents earlier in the week — told the Gothamist. “I was trusting Mikie Sherill to think about the security of us New Jerseyans. But as you can see, it’s actually escalated the situation.”

I was struggling w/hope after the election in how come together. 1 thing I didn’t account is data centers. People are ousting mayors, council members, etc. Hill County just passed a 1 yr moratorium. At its base, it’s the people vs. corporations & it’s 1 of many issues. Here’s what Paxton had to say:

The question has cropped up before, Bettencourt said an interview Thursday, and the answer has always been “no.”

“If they had this power, we would have already had a patchwork quilt in 254 counties, and literally have, effectively, 254 mini-states on development in Texas,” he said.

They also included this. I’m from Austin & live in the DFW area. Live music, hiking, & Longhorns pretty much covers it. My niece & nephew knew how to make the Hook Em sign before the could say the word Longhorn. Live music is huge. Big Bend is beautiful. Oh, & she has a TX ancestor? Love it.

Talarico and Menard frequently attend music concerts - including visiting Austin City Limits every year - and like to hike at Big Bend National Park annually, as well as take other trips, photos obtained from The Post show. They’re also avid Texas Longhorns college football fans and San Antonio Spurs devotees.

Brianna also has Texas roots with one ancestor, Michael B. Menard, having both a West Central state county named after him. He also signed the Texas Declaration of Independence.

I’m a spiritual person but something that used to bother me was eastern religions used to con people into magical thinking. Obv it’s broken containment but it’s so disconnected from what I was taught.

Niece & nephew with their dog & I still don’t get how he’s real. He’s like a teddy bear! He’s also a lover who needs ALL the attention. Last time they visited, everyone was on the coach & I was in the kitchen. 5 humans & he was giving me “I’m so neglected” eyes. Tbf, I’m easily manipulated by dogs.

Golden doodle being held up for a picture. He’s fawn colored with fluff everywhere &
has floppy ears & a teddy bear face. He’s looking directly into the camera & smiling.

Seriously this dog is ridiculous.

He looks like a little girls (my child self) teddy bear wish came true & made him real.

The Testaments finale was 🔥. Also, I don’t think this counts as a spoiler since I noticed it in E1 but did anyone else pick up the UK Suffragette colors? US is purple, white, & gold & since Gilead is set in the is US, it could be a fluke but..

If you have a favorite Shel Silverstein poem, please share. This is mine. ♥️

Shel Silverstein Poem. Illustration is two people wearing masks, facing away from each other.

Masks

She had blue skin
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
They passed right by -
And never knew.

My husband & I waited tables together in college. His ex was unstable. Mine was a manipulative jack ass. I once made a list of non-negotiable traits & 1-3 were wit, ethics, reader. 1 night we talked lit until 5am. He’s v witty. We’re not NYT worthy but our wedding was in a S. Asian blog. 1/2
