The fact that this article on soy causing deforestation doesn't cover how all that soy is being used is a wild media failure. The vast majority (70-80%) is being fed to animals.

It's not the "world's taste for soya" it's the world's taste for meat.

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon

Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I’m inclined to say that, in the end, which came not too long after the beginning, Hitler was bad for Germany’s white people, also. Call the self interest of Trump voters a line of defense. I’ll take whatever we can get.

The guy who called Trump America’s Hitler is looking a lot more Hitler-like today

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social have you seen this? Forgiato’s new song is literally an anthem about lynching. Oh and he drops a hard-r n-word youtu.be/Kk1lhvEHU9s?...

1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed.

Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do.

He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.

In our desperate search for some reasonable voice, we might have to accept that maybe Gov Cox isn't all that person.

It's as good a day as any to call out the mainstream media for saying a person is trans as though its evidence of an assassin's motivation

To vote is to compromise. Rand Paul has voted sensibly on matters of presidential overreach in “war time” matters but his position on most everything else means I would choose basically any Democrat in Congress currently over him

Clearly Jerry Nadler, who represents the upper west side and is one of the most prominent Jews in America, is harboring some deep-seated anti-Semitic views. We should have known. bsky.app/profile/dday...

Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.”

Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?"

And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.

Maybe people know who to blame and just aren’t willing to go along with someone who doesn’t? And so yes they vote for chaos and maybe get more than they asked for.
