People really do not appreciate the damage we did to the environment through eradication of the beaver and the bison.
It's extreme, and napkin math has suggested that if they were left alive, excess carbon would be significantly reduced.
We need to rewild.

The US could regreen its aridlands but it's been so long since it's been green (seriously, there were WAY more rivers before beavers & megafanuna got massacred) that history has forgotten / overlooked practices that replenish watersheds & water tables. It's doable.

Hey, if you're calling for gun control in response to the various shootings that are taking place, you're really not paying attention and you have no idea what time it is.

Yeah, let's definitely limit access to guns in especially blue states while the opposition prepares for civil war.
Walz: "'I don't know, do you really think limiting them to less than 100 bullets is going to do anything?' Yes! Yes it is. Yes it is going to save lives ... it's time to start reporting that that is all bullshit. It does do something. It does make a difference."

I’m loving these answers!! Add yours!!!
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Alongside the commercialization of information, we've experienced a collapse in community, and this collapse compounds our inability to validate information effectively, because we live inside isolated echo chambers and are rarely tested on the validity of the information we share.

It’s hilarious that every Republican operative has been frothing at the mouth to turn Zohran into a giant Democratic boogeyman, and Donald Trump’s in the Oval Office right now talking about how great he is and how he would love to live in New York under Mayor Mamdani. Just incredible shit.

Over millions and billions of years, each individual ecosystem developed an equilibrium in which specific distributions of mass allowed for the optimal continuation of life.
This distribution is quantifiable for any given ecosystem, and ideally, we'd find it and distribute mass accordingly.

Or we could let *nature* decide.
If wild native trees were there in the past, and seed themselves back in with the removal of sheep, who are we to say there's a problem?

Sheep may well be part of the problem, but trees are only a solution on mineral soils. On deep peat you need appropriate vegetation.

I'm gonna write a book called 'Why the SuperAI Will Speedrun Biology, and That's Great' and it will be better because I'm not confused by the machinations of failed systems.
Jesus this book is tedious. The authors like to explain everything through little made up fables and fictional dialog between anthropomorphized characters. Just skipping page after page of nonsense writing.

Add it to the list of evidence that autism is actually a natural evolutionary response to general trauma.

Unfortunately, I think this has more to do with cognitive and emotional limits that apply to the majority than it does with conscious apathy.
Many of them are literally not capable of processing that sort of information because it's too abstract.

Babies are supposed to learn object permanence by the time they’re 1. But clearly millions of Americans never did. They think if they don’t vote or watch the news politics can’t impact them.

The most momentous shift in our understanding of the universe arguably predated Copernicus. The breakthrough wasn't moving the origin of the coordinate system from the Earth to the Sun, but the radical 6th century BCE idea that Earth floats in space like other celestial bodies.
