This whole thread really. It's not just that we'll have more pollution from ICE cars (and of course cause more warming). It's that once again, economically, we are choosing to stay in the Stone Ages because the stone industry has convinced us it can't get better.

#Baltimore! An adorable mom/kitten duo is looking for a home for the holidays: Pinky (mom, 18 mos.) & Piglet (kitten, 7 mos.) were dumped in an alley in SW Baltimore, along with two other kittens (already adopted). They are super bonded & love to cuddle. Only thing better than 1 cat is 2 cats! 😍

Retailers use marketing techniques to get you to spend more, like creating a false sense of urgency or creating artificial discounts. Outsmart the gimmicks with these tips. n.pr/4irpN0W

Rest and joy are acts of resistance! This holiday season, we encourage you to use resources from our Dinners for Democracy program to reconnect and reflect on the holidays, the past year, and the hopes you’re carrying into the next.

Please stop using Grok or any AI to prove a point on social media. Every time you use it, it drinks fresh water and sucks up energy. Every time you use it, it pollutes a neighborhood (that is probably Black or brown. Every time. Boycott it for the sake of the planet and your fellow human beings.
