Thank you for posting that, saved me from doing so.

Ignorance and stupidity are the greatest threats to human survival - but perhaps it's for the best.

As pointed out by Rosa Luxemburg, the choices are socialism or barbarism. In the US, barbarism seems to be a far more likely outcome.

It's called the abscopal effect; see e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537037/

In Gregory Benford's novel "Timescape" a diatom bloom features as a crucial plot element.

You probably mean BitKeeper. BitWarden is a password / secrets manager.

Ask Julian Assange or Edward Snowden, to name a couple.

Initially I read that as "Exploiting others"...

Only Stalwart supports JMAP, which imo is the future of mail/calendar/contacts client-server communication.

Upvoted for the pun, with the sad caveat that also it feels like a human tragedy unfolding. :-/

"My building is bigger than your building."

Two words: regulatory capture.

The colon sigil denotes a Symbol class literal, and a trailing colon here denotes a Symbol used as a Hash object key.

Ah, the assumption we always need some rent-seeking middleman.

And not even that.

Which is especially bizarre because of the US being monetary sovereign. #MMT

I wonder if their diet affects this somehow, see for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8990249/ which discusses endocrine disruptors and fertility, among other things.

There is much we don't know about the long-term impact of some of these types of chemicals people ingest nowadays as part of their diet.

Does this mean that most young Canadians can certainly financially afford to have kids without going into debt, but for some reason (worried about the future? Lazy? Other priorities?) just aren't interested anymore?

So in other words, them not making babies has nothing to do with economics?

Excellent service!

Qualified Immunity needs to go.

Or government-sponsored healthcare.

But no #M4A for the proles, because that's SOCIALISM.

I'm talking about https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1976. I didn't say it would be a silver bullet, but it would be a large improvement over what we have now, and save money in the long run to boot.

Your words indicate your knowledge of the Ukraine conflict is lacking. But believe what you want. https://www.thepostil.com/conflict-in-ukraine-genesis/

As Christopher Hitchens would say, "Religion poisons everything." That is why the separation of church and state is vitally important.

I think it's even worse than that: that whole system is benefitting from the situation, so has no incentive to actually do anything meaningful about the problem, just to pretend that they are. It's a variation on the Iron Law of Institutions.

Note: (neo)liberal != left. Just because the Democrats are called "the left" (or even "the far left" on Fox News), doesn't mean they are. Look at the policies they support; are they pro-worker, pro-single payer, anti-war, anti-imperialist? No. So not "the left".

Regardless of what they themselves or anybody else calls them, what matters is what policies they concretely support.

In part because the corporate media largely ignores non-duopoly parties (btw, note that both the Democrat and Republican Party are private corporations).
