appears the US war apparatus is pivoting from general war crimes to a more openly genocidal strategy

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

The West Coast pipeline that Carney and Smith proposed would drive the southern resident killer whale population to extinction btw

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

The Canadian political landscape is fundamentally shifting under Prime Minister Mark Carney. To be informed participants in our democracy, Canadians have GOT to recognize this reality. Let me explain:

Happy Pride to those of us that can't do the crowds or parades, whether by choice or by crippling anxiety <3

When the government claims TMX is mega profitable (Tim Hodgson keeps saying $1 billion a year), remember that we BOUGHT IT for $34 billion. So it won’t be profitable for *34 years* at this rate, and that’s if oil demand doesn’t decline! (It will!) It very likely will NEVER be profitable:

I'm actually so devastated. I've been doing speaking with environmental experts, and these orcas might actually be fucked because of this project (which is why the Liberals want to give themselves power to allow a major project to extinct entire species). What the fuck are we doing??

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

He says it would be too expensive to meet our climate targets…so who is saving money when we don’t? The people whose houses burn down in forest fires? Those who lose homes to flooding? The people who die in heat domes?

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

For anyone liking and reskeeting and interacting, thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to me :"D. Being here has been a desert and you are the oasis my friends.

This is actually the whole reason I wrote a book once because the ending of His Dark Materials pissed me off so much. I was like 15 or something complaining about it and then decided to hell with complaining, I'm gonna write my own book. Now writing is my greatest pastime ❤️

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

Suraj has a point.
