  • Remember last election when, in the final days, biden promised a huge amount of student debt relief (he lied)

    At least we got a fraction of the covid stimulus he promised (then he killed like a million people by ending lockdowns)

    Now we get NOTHING, not a promise for climate change action, or healthcare reform, or the promise to do less genocide and war. Not even a promise to take executive action on women’s rights (the senate isn’t going to pass a bill, and I feel like everyone secretly knows this). Shit’s bleak in burgerland




  • The blog post is a little misleading. It’s all about tradeoffs. Hydropower is also extremely impactful to the natural environment. It changes the ecology of a river, disrupting nutrient/sediment flows and harming fish such as salmon. Literally any source of power generation is disruptive to the local environment, including offshore wind. I’m not an ecologist, but studies would need to be performed to determine how destructive new energy infrastructure would be to a given ecosystem.

    Because Norway is an energy exporter, how much surplus energy is worth generating at the cost of the natural environment is a political question. However, if Europe ever stops demanding natural gas, having surplus electricity is a good way for Norway to stay wealthy in the long-term.

    Norway is very beautiful and it’s worth protecting as much of it as possible, but I don’t live there and would need to know more to have an informed opinion


  • I found out one of my acquaintances was Palestinian recently. Zionists killed several of their family members in the West Bank, in shootings in Ramallah, botched surgeries in Israeli hospitals, lack of access to ICUs, and in a church bombing in Gaza. They aren’t even allowed to return to their home in the West Bank because the IDF won’t let them through the border. But even in a deep blue state, understanding that Kamala is racist towards their people, they voted for her. Their reasoning was they’ve grown to expect that they would be killed and no one would feel sympathy for them, so they suck it up and vote for the lesser evil on other issues. Fucking depressing. They’ll let me spend Thanksgiving with them rather than with my family who thinks I’m antisemitic for caring about apartheid, which will be nice
