Many labour at the misapprehension that human development is always progressive. This is not the case. The increasing criminalisation of abortion in the US, as well as the decision to remove equal human rights for trans & non-binary ppl in the UK, demonstrates that freedom can be ephemeral.

"The concern was that low-cost Chinese EVs would take over in the EU. That hasn't happened. Instead, they have increased competition: there are now over 20 EVs selling for under CA$40,000 in the EU, only seven of which are Chinese," says Clean Energy Canada's @joannakyriazis.bsky.social. #cdnpoli

I've been pretty quiet here lately, trying to cut down on doomscrolling for the sake of my mental health... BUT I have a new story out at @therevelator.org, on how climate change is contributing to bird population declines in multiple biomes around the world. #birds 🪶🌏

Scientists have typically pointed to habitat loss as the key factor behind the worldwide drop in bird populations worldwide, but climate change poses a second, closely linked threat.

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.
