So my post about Western ignorance on bamboo blew up on threads big time.
Bamboo is one of the most versatile and sustainable building materials nature has made and ignorance (stupidity? Propaganda?) is demonizing it now online. Oh, the West.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Reviewing “Starfleet” the documentary, as a film in the 24th century (AKA SNW S3E7):
Narratively uneven, dishonest, obsessed with form.
I mean, its coverage is amazing that it has a camera angle for every line of dialogue. Also hate it when the documentarist tries to take center of attention.

How the BBC frames illegal occupation depending on who the occupier is:
When 🇷🇺 does it: it’s home seizure and a occupation.
When 🇮🇱 does it: it’s framed as settler optimism and political strategy
